    BS, same crap, different day! Here's the real story, the truth, something Obama can't tell you!

    OBAMA MYTH: Shutting down a successful paper plant in Marion, IN.

    REALITY: The paper plant in Marion, IN was losing money when Ampad bought it to try to turn it around.

    In 1992, Bain Capital invested in American Paper & Pad, or Ampad. Two years later – while Governor Romney was on a leave of absence to run for U.S. Senate against the late Ted Kennedy – Ampad purchased the assets of an unprofitable plant in Marion, Indiana from Smith Corona.

    This was not a healthy plant: In the year preceding Ampad’s purchase, the Marion plant lost more than $1.6 million dollars.

    Though the Marion plant would later close, Ampad added nearly 2,500 jobs at other plants between Bain Capital’s initial investment and the sale of its majority interest. During this same period, revenues grew dramatically from $8.8 million to more than $580 million.

    What the gentleman describes is very typical of every vulture capitalist take over of cash/assets/property rich company. They don't care what it does to the people, they just want the bucks for a profit from it.

    Now Romney and the Bain Capital types, like the Koch Brothers are after the grand prize. The US GOVERNMENT, in the biggest vulture capitalist takeover attempt ever seen on the planet. They want to suck it dry of all its assets and liquid cash and throw away the carcass.

    I gave this ad two thumbs up because it presents LIES so well.

    Things they didn't tell you.

    Environmentalists were protesting this paper plant becasue of the pollution and the killing of trees.

    IN the mid nineties, the need for paper went WAY down, because email meant you didn't have to have everything on paper.
    The reason the plant was profitable at the time is because they had just had a pay cut, so the plant wouldn't close.
    But the union didn't like the idea of a pay cut, and so, when Mitt Romney got involved with
    Bain, the workers at this plant were on strike!

    Most of the workers were re-hired, but under a different pay plan, so the plant could stay open

    But pressures from environmentalists, the lack of need for paper, and unions made the plant unprofitable, so they had to close.

    This info came from the Huffington Post, not exactly a right -wing rag, huh?

    So, the real reason this plant closed is because of the left.

    How ya like them apples?

    All this wonderful info came out when Newt Gingrich tried the same tactics on Mittens. The left came out to eliminate Newt from running.

    .... which it wasn't.
    First, no one would be stupid enough to assemble three shifts in a warehouse to fire everyone en masse, at least not without the national guard in position to provide security. Two of the shifts would be there on their own time with the graveyard shift losing sleep time. Give me a break.
    What Union does this turkey belong to? Do they really think anyone with more than 2 active brain cells is going to believe this crap?

    There is no doubt in my mind that Mitt Romney would be another inherently evil, corporate owned, warmongering, treasonous president.... Just like our last 5 or 6 were.

    I wonder if the closing of that factory was partially due to the job killing "free trade" agreements that Obama and Clinton signed, or to the tax breaks that have been given to corporations for moving jobs overseas.

    Our paperless society probably had a lot to do with it also.

    I wish that the jobless man would have went into more detail about how Mitt profited $100 million from closing that plant.

    WHat are there no details about the name of the plant, the city, the man in the video? SO the American people cannot research the truth.
    Thanks to the research of others we find it's a paper plant, duh! They're a victim of the paperwork reduction act, the internet had replaced traditional newspapers and magazines.

    The Health care tax was presented with the bs technique. Obama blasted doctors and insurance companies, leaving out the fact that now the IRS will control your health care under the "advisory panels" advice (who?)
    Remember this?

    Mead acquired Ampad in 1986. But Ampad was fatally wounded by the prior management (CEO, Fran Gulliano, ) of the company before Mead made the acquisition. The companies profits and cash flows were used to compensate these executives excessively and made all of them very wealthy. Prior to Gulliano's leadership, Ampad was a strong performing company and a leader in its market area. After Mead bought Ampad, the business model changed due to an organization called NOPA (National Office Products Association) which was beginning to decline as a result of the big box office products stores. Ampad wasn't organized well enough to deal with the changes. This resulted in a loss of market share and negatively affected profit margins Mead eventualy sold the company to Bain in 1992 after failing to make a profit. Bain attempted to clean up the company and make it leaner and better able to respond to customers and lower its cost to compete with off shore competition. One of President Obama’s most prolific fundraisers, Jonathan Lavine, started working for Bain in 1993 and was on the board of directors of Ampad for several years, a post he held until 1999. Lavine had a more direct role than Romney in the series of events surrounding the layoffs, labor disputes and eventual bankruptcy of the Marion, Ind., factory featured in the Obama campaign video. Deal with the facts, rich and wealthy Libbies.
