What does the left leaning Washington Post say?




What does FactCheck.org say?




Okay, CNN got their hands onsecret Bain investor documents, so what do they reveal?




So why is Obama lying? Let's use Obama's own words.


What Happened? - YouTube


What does former Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell think of Obama's attacks on Romney with Bain?



Add him to President Bill Clinton and Mayor Cory Booker, both Democrats.

What does Obama fundraiser, one time Democrat Candidate for the Senate, and Bain big wig say? Well Steve Paglicua says:



They now have 4 people spilling their guts at Bain during that time, 3 registered Democrats and 2 actively campaigning for Obama -- including Obama Bundler Jonathan Lavine -- and they all say Romney is 100% telling the truth.

So why does Obama keep pushing a lie? Oh that is right, Obama's own words:


They are desperate, plain and simple. They think that people are so stupid they won't understand this or try to find out the facts and in some cases that might be true....bu those folks probably were already voting for Obama.

There is also a big point here that needs to be made, Bain was not a publically traded company so even if what they are implying was true (and it is NOT), no law was broken, felony or otherwise. Bain Capital was a private company.

Exclamation ouch!

In Romney’s 2002 race for governor, Romney testified before the state Ballot Law Commission that his separation from Bain in 1999 had been a “leave of absence” and not a final departure.

Maybe Andrea didn't get the memo?

Governor Romney left Bain Capital in February of 1999, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement to CNN.

Wow, you mean Romney worked at Bain? Holy cow. Too funny. Nothing can divert from the fact CNN and Politifact called Obama a liar.

Huh? Did Romney go back after 1999? Did I miss something? Another swing and a miss by an increasingly desperate left.

Default hmm...

In the years Romney describes himself as on leave from Bain, here's how Bain was describing him in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission: sole shareholder, sole director, chief executive officer, president, and even managing director -- of a firm he says he wasn't managing.

Strange.

Lol, debunked several times, when CNN and Politifact called Obamama a liar.

I admire you pluck and the opportunity to remind everyone, that even the MSM is now calling Obama a liar, not good.

I think the suggestion, properly made, is that Mr. Romney has ... once again ... lied. Whether he's violated the law is something for Attorney General Holder to determine.

I would think that as owner and president of Bain, Romney would have voiced his dislike for all the outsourcing Bain was doing even if he wasn't at the board meetings which is unlikely.
