Romney:

Do You Honestly Believe that "Bain Capital" COULD Be Romney's "Waterloo" in the Upcoming Election?

A simple question here. One of Romney's so-called strong points has been his vast business experience. But much is coming out about how he acquired his vast wealth and there are many questions arising just how "experienced" he is.

Obama has already proven to be a poor leader, by example and in Congress. Our nation is more divided than ever and our economy is headed for the double dip. Obama bailed out companies who afterward went into bankruptcy anyway, while frightening away much needed investors (they're still scared to invest) Obama "wants people angry, he's angry too"
Romney has spread a positive and uniting message for America. He has plans for reform, no one talks about that where you get your information. He has helped companies who could not survie on their own to make a big comeback. He led a states ue numbers to decrease, and reduced their debt. He gave away his inheritance to charity and is still giving today, much more than most.
I love his Day One new ad.
The two don't even come close.
Their wealth is none of my business. I am happy for all wealthy Americans.
Romney dosen't like his alma matter? neither do I, but that's news to me. Obama hides his records, Romney is an open book.
Core values?
Obama told us much about his core values and then has been caught repeatedly telling groups of opposing core values that he agrees with them. Liar.
Quoting without context is a progressive thing, Romney said he WILL save the safety net for our poor!
What has Obama done for the poor? He gave them an extension of the Bush tax cuts and added the "payroll taxcut" which is rapidly defunding the social safety nets of SS and Med. More welfare and still 5,000,000 less jobs than day 1.
Listen to him and his BS "Jobs Council" laugh!
the moderates will vote against him based on his history with Bain.
the Tea Partiers will vote against him based on his history as the governor of Massachusetts.
I guess that leaves his immediate family to vote for him, hmmmmmm?
well, them and the Obama-haters. oh, yeah, the Tea Partiers - - there are those who will forgive him Massachusetts based on one immutable fact: he's not Obama. I forgot about that part of the mix. silly me. so yes, even given his history, he WILL get more than a dozen votes.
Pretty damning stuff...no doubt about it, the only questions is will the moderate/independant voters take a serious look at the details of how he conducted business while at Bain Capital? If so he's screwed come November.
Barack Obama released a new video ad featuring former workers of GST Steel of Kansas City who lost their jobs because of Mitt Romney’s work at Bain Capital — at least according to Obama that’s why they lost their jobs. Unfortunately for team Obama, the truth seems to argue against his campaign lies.
The ad is full of lament about GST workers having lost their jobs, sympathy that is most certainly warranted. But the ad goes on to call R...
Barack Obama released a new video ad featuring former workers of GST Steel of Kansas City who lost their jobs because of Mitt Romney’s work at Bain Capital — at least according to Obama that’s why they lost their jobs. Unfortunately for team Obama, the truth seems to argue against his campaign lies.
The ad is full of lament about GST workers having lost their jobs, sympathy that is most certainly warranted. But the ad goes on to call Romney an “economic vampire” over the layoffs. Union member Jack Cobb, one of the workers in the ad, says for instance, “It was like a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us.”
The ad goes on to blame Mitt Romney and Bain Capital for that vampirism.
But there are quite a few problems with all these hoary claims of the evils of Bain Capital. First of all is the fact that every voice in this video is that of a union thug. Most especially a man noted as the lead union negotiator, David Foster. Does anyone think a unionista will tell the truth about what went on with a company they spent decades extorting?
It is never noted in the Obama ad that GST Steel had troubles long, long before Bain Capital bought the company. In fact that Bain bought them in the first place is an obvious indicator that the company was in financial trouble. After all, that is what Bain did, buy troubled companies and try to turn them around or shut them down if that proves impossible.
Along those lines, a former GST worker told the National Review, the unions were the ones bleeding GST dry, not Bain.
It should be well known by now that when a legacy manufacturer (like steel manufacturers, car companies, etc.) goes under one of the biggest reasons is because unions have for decades raped the company to death.
But there is another major problem with linking the end of GST to Mitt Romney’s work with Bain. Romney wasn’t with Bain when GST went down. Romney had left Bain Capital in 1999, two years before GST’s 2001 collapse.
But there was at least one guy linked to today’s political landscape that was still at Bain when GST went down the tubes. Obama donor and a Bain managing director Jonathan Levine was working at Bain when GST went belly up.
So, the only person that worked for Bain when GST died was an Obama bundler that raised over $100,000 for Obama.
Curiously enough, that fact wasn’t in the Obama ad video, either.
Then there’s this. Even former Obama economic adviser Steve Rattner thinks the ad is “unfair.”
I just don't cotton too well to arrogant, condescending jerks who are unable to do so. That's the beneft of being around in the world as long. You don't have to do what you find useless anymore.
P.S. I did not say anything about Obama's place of birth, if he was a terrorist or if he Hates America.... You or anyone else has NO right to put words in my mouth; I didn't do it to You, Don't do it to me.
If You can't argue against facts fine, but stop the Progressive Liberal tirade and whining.
You didn't address any facts I have to You, guess that is an indication of Your answer... nothing.
I didn't attribute the nauseating to Cory Booker, just that it has been said; however he did say it referred to the "proposed" Rev Wright attack which never happened....
That was not taken out of context at all; where else do You think I took the poor lying Dem's out of context?
Loosen the business regs and ridiculous EPA red-tape and investors will be falling all over themselves to put their $$ into American corporations, small start ups and get this nation back on her feet.
Yeah, right, "lessen" those pesky rules that have allowed Wall Street to take us to our knees without accountability or oversight to the tune of $720 billion tax payer dollars and who needs clean water and air?
You bitch about this President not getting enough jobs back when the Shrub was losing them at 750,000 a month leading up to the innauguration? The gawd-awful mess this President was handed with absolutely no support from the Pubs who were largely responsible for it, was supposed to be cleaned up in just a few months when it took years to make it? Give me a break. The trouble is, you guys wouldn't know a true leader if one came up and bit you in the butt. If you want to return to the same utter failures of the past, policies and decisions that failed in every way possible, then Romney's your man, but he sure isn't mine.
But too many in Congress thought it was a good idea and some were screaming it was the only solution.
Bush had control over the first $350 Billion and 0bozo had control over the second half.
Obie tried to put his own rules and regulations in, and the banks turned around and paid back th funds way ahead of schedule, which really pissed him off.
So far, TARP is the ONLY thing that taxpayers have been paid back on, with interest and AIG seems to be the holdout.
Of course, GM got a side-loan out of those funds and still owes $24Billion and Fannie & Freddie haven't paid back a dime out of the Billions they got because that was under a different program.
You have to go back to Johnson to see where the seeds for the housing market crash were planted. He's the one who converted Fannie Mae into a publicly traded entity and got them off the Fed. Govt. ledger. Then he created Freddie Mac so Fannie wouldn't become a monopoly that was too big to fail. That worked out sweet... now didn't it?
Carter added some water and Clinton fertilized it with their CRA's which forced the neighborhood banks to lower their proven lending standards. The bad paper was bundled with the good and Wha-La..... guess where the loans wound...

F&F went from holding 24% of all mortgages to over 74%. How did that happen?
Do you research this stuff at all, or just parrot what you hear from the lame stream media?
btw.... Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Stanley were 0bozo's two top contributors in 2008........ record breaking amounts..... FYI.
It sure didn't make a difference when those same people elected him to be their Governor.
Must have been short-term memory loss.... huh?
HaHahaha
