Michelle Obama & Bain Capital

Oops, it looks like a company that Michelle Obama has given high praise to was once helped by the evil Bain Capital.

So I'm wondering how the Obama Campaign will spin that fact.

LOL! Nice try. You people are SO DESPERATE to deflect attention away from the FACTS. Mitt Romney is hiding his tax returns and you Romney supporters don't want ANYONE talking about that.You will do ANYTHING to downplay and dismiss this story. GUESS WHAT? IT AIN'T GOING AWAY TIL MITT DROPS OUT OR RELEASES HIS TAX RETURNS! Stop already. Its just pathetic!

So, was Romney running Bain in 2008?

The issue has been Romney's connection to Bain when it focused on outsourcing US jobs (and investing in companies that dispose of aborted fetuses).

Romney has claimed to be a job creator, and his record at Bain contradicts that narrative.

But, if he really was in charge through 2008, then good for Romney.

It's not even that. None of this wouldn't matter if Romney hadn't made his time his centrepiece of his campaign. He's told us he's the best to deal with the economy and now he's trying to distance himself from the very thing he said qualified him to run the country.
And Romney's tax plan would continue to reward corporations that ship jobs overseas, Obama's wouldn't.

Let me make sure I understand this: praising a company that in the 80s was helped by Bain is the same as being the CEO of Bain itself. Is that right?

Goth is desperate and grasping at straws here. He hopes SOMETHING will stick. Does anyone actually think once Goth started this thread that he plans on responding to any posts?

I'm confused. Michele Obama likes the new Batman movie and that's wrong?

This is nothing. The Washington Times is claiming that because Obama has his money (in a blind trust) invested in a Mutual Fund that invests in the top 5000 US Companies he supports outsourcing.


Why? Because Apple is one of those 5000 top US companies and they build computers in China.

Yep, that's the same as running Bain Capital, too.

Well now that you mention it....

Mitt yesterday was contending he only had to release two years of Tax Returns because that is how many Theresa Heinz Kerry released.

(In case you're curious, JOHN Kerry (who was the candidate) released 20 years.)

we return you to the right-wing bubble.

That's because Cindy McCain was the rich one, not John McCain. Rich people don't have to release more than 2 years.

Only poor people, like you and I and John McCain, do.
