As usual, with this administration and President. Hypocrisy of the best kind. Ok for me, but not for you. Don't work that way Mr. President. Too bad, that media, don't touch upon, those negative things you do.
Knowing The crazy Biden, i smell a dirty deal. Give me anything you can, no matter how small, on Romeny.

Get a hint, most people care widely about our economy, and why you have done nothing to fix it, remember Hope n' Change, unity, less unemployment below 8% thriving businesses, lower taxes, think your have a memory loss.

I am sure he wishes this would be kept under wraps, but since he has lost his 'Mesiah' status, some of the media is finally starting to out him.

If Bain is so bad, why did Obammy pick 2 former Bain consultants.....Jeff Zients to lead the Office of Management and Budget and recently, Boris Bershteyn to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. OIRA is part of OMB.

In typical, hypocritical, fashion Bershteyns Bain connection was left out of his white house bio. Kinda left Obama has left a lot out of his own bio.

But obummer sure will attack Romneys connections to Bain! What a lousy excuse of a man.
This is not surprising at all.

Why?

Because the Democrats and Republicans that are actually IN OFFICE, IN POWER are on the same team! They're two sides of the same coin. Remember the election rivalry between Bush and Kerry? They were both in the elite secret society Skull and Bones. Two sides of the same coin! These parties should simply combine and refer to themselves as "Republicrats" and call it a day already!

They do not serve the people of the USA, they serve the corporations of the USA. It is not a democracy, it is a corpocracy.

Of course he is going to hand out jobs to Bain alumni!

You have absolutely ZERO clue what you're talking about. Many of the attacks on Romney referenced events that happened after he left Bain, which mean the attacks themselves are an attack on Bain. Lies and distortions. It's all you folks know.
Quote:
Bain Capital, the venture capital firm founded by Romney in 1984, is the focus of the Obama campaign’s attacks. There is no question that Bain invested in some companies that helped other companies outsource work and that some of that work went overseas. That was the core business for Modus Media and SMTC Corp. — two outsource companies featured in a June 21 article in the Washington Post that has been the basis of recent Obama TV ads. Bain also invested in U.S.-based companies that sold goods manufactured here and abroad, and some of those companies closed U.S. facilities and eliminated U.S. jobs.

But after reviewing numerous corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, contemporary news accounts, company histories and press releases, and the
evidence offered by both the Obama and Romney campaigns, we found no evidence to support the claim that Romney — while he was still running Bain Capital — shipped American jobs overseas.
You have no shame at all do you?

Then the Democrats are complete morons for even focusing on that. My biggest concern with Romney is that he hasn't been in an executive government position in five years. He may have been an okay governor in the past but the economy was completely different back then so we have no idea how his policies would work in this present economy. It may have been more prudent to pick a current governor such as Rick Perry as the presidential candidate rather than Romney.

Likewise, I wouldn't expect left-wing-nuts to bother knowing what the hell they're talking about.

Democratic South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, in an attempt to back up the Obama campaign, went so far Tuesday as to claim Bain was "raping" other companies.

"There is something about raping companies and leaving them in debt and setting up Swiss bank accounts and corporations and businesses in the Grand Caymans. I have a real serious problem with that," Clyburn told MSNBC.


That was just one quote I found, rather easily. There are many, many more. Perhaps you should consider some fresh news sources. DemocraticUnderground and DailyKos don't really provide you with everything you should see. Unless, that is, you don't mind being a "low information voter."
