The topic of Bain

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

For all of those following the Bain issue, I'm still wrapping my head around it.

At this point it either looks like Romney is telling the truth and therefore committed a Felony by signing documents that the SEC have, or he is lying?

Is there a third dimension to this as he seems like he may be in a serious corner now?

As someone's signature on here says (I think it's here):

Why should I worry about what Romney did with his money, when I should be worrying about what Obama is doing with my money....

Obama single handedly saved the US auto industry and GM is now the largest car company in the world

Your guy would have sunk it and x million jobs with it

That was the best use of your money - saving the country you love - or do you love your guns and your bible more ?

Anyway, you don't need to think about that because it was REPAID with interest

You will never see a penny of Romney's money - that IS for sure. Unless you sell House car elevators ?

Mitt Romney either lied in federal filings that show he worked at Bain Capital through 2002 and could be guilty of a felony, or has lied to the American people in saying he left the company in 1999, the Obama campaign is arguing in light of news reports on the firm’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“This is serious business,” said Bob Bauer, the Obama campaign’s counsel, in a conference call for reporters coming after the Boston Globe published a story Thursday that calls into question the timeline of Romney’s involvement of the firm that the Republican candidate has been promulgating for years.

Deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter laid out the issue as the Obama team sees it: “Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony."

"Or," she said, "he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments,” including layoffs and the outsourcing of jobs.

If the latter is true, she said, it’s a “real character and trust issue” that voters should be aware of as they decide who to vote for in the presidential election. If Romney was still at Bain through 2002, he's also "politically responsible for the consequences" of deals that the firm made through then.

UPDATE, 3:45 p.m. -- Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades responds in a statement: “President Obama’s campaign hit a new low today when one of its senior advisers made a reckless and unsubstantiated charge to reporters about Mitt Romney that was so over the top that it calls into question the integrity of their entire campaign. President Obama ought to apologize for the out-of-control behavior of his staff, which demeans the office he holds. Campaigns are supposed to be hard fought, but statements like those made by Stephanie Cutter belittle the process and the candidate on whose behalf she works."

It amuses that me that in all these threads, nobody really defends Romney. Nobody comes out and says "Hey, this guy would be a great President and here's why." It's all Obama-bashing.

When you realize your error(s) here, I'll gladly respond to you further.

Amazingly how historically inaccurate you can be after just 3 1/2 - 4 years.

Also you forgot to mention that the US Government has still not recovered tens of billions of dollars that it put into GM.

Romney sucks... Obama sucks...

Who's worse? ** if anyone can tell.

If you think about it, the momentum should be with a republican candidate, but Romney has always been a weaker candidate and can't really take advantage it.

Is that why he won so many states?

Ron Paul doesn't really have the support of the republican party. He represents a person around the bend so to speak in a political circle.
