BO accepting money from......Bain Capital??

BO has been making a point to attack Bain Capital but I guess their money is okay, huh?

Say it with me.....Hypocrite!!

 

Nope simply a politician on the election trail

 

...but not a "new kind" or "transformational" type of politican though, right?

 

"President Obama Won’t Be Returning His Donations From Bain Capital"


Wow just copied and pasted this from the website that David provided. People who have been attacking Romney over Bain Capital must feel played as fools by the leftist media. If I am wrong could anyone justified this action if everything the left and obama said was correct about Bain Capital.

 

Yet ...no one is accusing Bain Capital of anything untoward here. They donated the money, right? What does that say about them?

Sounds to me like they are hedging their bets.

 

That's incredible! Absolutely incredible! Obama is SUCH a hypocrite!

 

I guess that the Right-winger crowd is so confused by the concept if hypocrisy they themselves are constantly guilty of it because they can’t even define the meaning of the word in the first place. So what is the dictionary definition of hypocrisy? The most common definition I found was:
hy·poc·ri·sy/hiˈpäkrisē/ Noun: The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.
So in this instance, Obama is calling out Romney for claiming that he created all these jobs while at Bain Capital but as Obama claims, in fact, Romney wiped out a lot of jobs by bankrupting companies, stealing the pensions and leaving the tax payers to pick up the pieces while always walking away with millions in profits for a small group of investors.
Along comes Bain Capital, minus Romney at this point, and contributes to Obama’s campaign fund and in all likelihood to Romney’s campaign as well. Now stay with me. Remember the definition of hypocrisy just above? Where exactly is Obama calling out Romney and then bankrupting companies, stealing pensions, and leaving the tax payers holding the bag?
I think Right-wingers have always been challenged when it comes to the concept of hypocrisy. If they actually knew how to use the term properly, they would probably realize just how often they themselves are guilty of it. Like that is ever going to happen.

 

Especially true when you learn that the jobs Romney is being accused of "losing" at GST Steel occurred 2 years after Romney had left Bain.

 

Quite agree David he is no different in that respect

 

Wow, I did't follow the story for I figure it was edited to meet a leftist agenda but wow,,,that is really pushing a lie.

On the mark with that but the worse thing is he is alot worse then that.

 

Ah the truth what a vague and fleeting illusion it is.

 

It was not edited, they just forgot to tell you the more pertinent facts. That is a habit the left excels at.

 

The timed honoured tradition of spin, all media excels at it what ever their political bias.

 

Such RW spin is as usual nonsense.

Though the Obama campaign has repeatedly attacked Mitt Romney for his career at Bain Capital, President Obama still accepted $7,500 in campaign contributions from two Bain executives. His campaign press secretary, Ben LaBolt told The Politicker the president has no intention of giving the money back.
“No one aside from Mitt Romney is running for President highlighting their tenure as a corporate buyout specialist as one of job creation, when in fact, his goal was profit maximization,” said Mr. LaBolt. ”The President has support from business leaders across industries who have seen him pull the economy back from the brink of another depression, manufacturing and the auto industry revived, and support his agenda to build an economy that lasts where America outinnovates and outeducates the rest of the world and economic security for the middle class is restored.”
On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden defended the attacks on Mr. Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital. Though he insisted he wasn’t “criticizing private equity firms,” Mr. Biden said there were many examples of Mr. Romney and his Bain colleagues causing tremendous harm.
“You hear all these stories about his partners buying companies … where they load up with a tremendous amount of debt. The companies go under, everybody loses their job, the community is devastated, but they make money,” said Mr. Biden. “They make money even when a company goes bankrupt, when workers lose their jobs.”
Earlier in the week, President Obama described Bain and other private equity firms as a “healthy part of the free market” filled with many ”folks who do good work.” However, he also said the priority of private equity companies is to “maximize profits,” which is “not always going to be good for businesses or communities or workers.” Because of this, he said Mr. Romney’s work at Bain Capital isn’t good preparation for the presidency.
“If your main argument for how to grow the economy is, ‘I knew how to make a lot of money for investors,’ then you are missing what this job is about,” President Obama said. “It doesn’t mean you weren’t good at private equity. But that’s not what my job is as president. My job is to take into account everybody, not just some.”

 

Hey, Hamilton and Burr had a duel based upon what they and their cohorts wrote about each other during their political conflicts to back your positon even if I do not entirely agree with it, it does have validity Vladd.

 

Too bad they did not have the internet back then. They would have shot each other long before they actually had their duel.

BTW, I found this article interesting;

 

Maybe if Bain gives BO more money he'll stop blasting the company in his campaign ads.

 

The problem is that MSNBC is not broadcasting this story, so most of the left-wing lemmings aren't aware of the fact their Hypocrite-in-Chief has taken tons of money from Bain. All they're hearing is "Romney = Bain Capital = Bad" which is actually all their pea-brains are able to absorb at a time.

 

...nor do they get to hear that most of what BO is spewing about Bain happened after Romney had left the company...

 

Bill Clinton criticizes Obama’s Bain attacks, praises Romney’s ‘sterling business career’

Former President Bill Clinton suggested in a television interview Thursday that he believes President Obama's re-election campaign should stop trashing Mitt Romney's work in the private equity industry.

In an interview with CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," Clinton, a top Obama surrogate who is set to raise cash with the president next week, directly contradicted Democrats who have attacked Romney's business record, suggesting it does qualify him for president.

"I think he had a good business career," Clinton told guest host Harvey Weinstein, a movie mogul who is one of Obama's top fundraisers. "There's no question that in terms of getting up and going to the office and, you know, basically performing the essential functions of the office, the man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold."

Adding that he has "friends" in the private equity business," Clinton suggested it was dangerous for Democrats to go after Romney's record at Bain Capital—adding that in private equity, "like everything else you try, you don't always succeed" in saving companies or making them more productive.

"I don't think that we ought to get into the position where we say this is bad work," Clinton said. "This is good work."
Instead, the former president argued that the Obama campaign should turn its focus to the "real issue" of what Romney will do as president and how it stacks up against Obama's record. He told CNN that he believes Obama will win re-election when that comparison is made.

"The Obama proposals and the Obama record will be far better for the American economy and most Americans than those that Gov. Romney has laid out," Clinton said. "And that's what the election ought to be about."

Clinton is the latest high-profile Democratic surrogate to criticize the Obama re-election campaign's focus on Romney's record at Bain Capital. Last week, Newark Mayor Cory Booker came under fire from Democrats for saying he was "uncomfortable" with the Obama campaign's Bain attacks.

Obama aides have insisted their strategy is not attacking private equity companies but rather focusing on Romney's claim of creating jobs while working at Bain Capital.
