Big Bain Backfire

[youtube:2yftmy32][/youtube:2yftmy32]

President Obama's attacks on free enterprise have triggered a backlash among many—even among those in his own party. In just the past few days, everyone from former advisors to his own surrogates have criticized the Obama campaign's attack on free enterprise. With no record to run on, it is no surprise that the Obama campaign has resorted to misleading attacks that have been disavowed by its own supporters.

Such a trip to see Booker back pedalling after.

The king needs to keep his mouth shut. He gives his own party too much ammo.

My guess is Booker was visited by some of the admin, and they told him if he ever wanted to move above mayor, he better recant what he said. Chicago politics...

I don't know where Booker's head was at, since Romney is running on his record as a businessman and Bain is certainly a part of that.

Yes he is. A business man who ran a equity firm. The same sort of equity firm that dozens and dozens of public service unions, private unions and private firms invest in on a daily basis. Equity firms that realize up to 11% of their portfolios profits to their pension funds and other retirement devices. Considering how much money unions and other companies make from investments with equity firms do you think those unions and private companies should divest themselves from these big bad equity firms?

Considering how much money is generated for millions of people all across the political spectrum... I think Romney has a really good position to run on... a sucessful businessman who made a lot of money for various public service unions, private unions and private firms.

This is exactly what I said several weeks ago. Obama has nothing to run on other than Bin Laden. Nothing. His only alternative is to attempt to demonize the opposition and try to look cool throwing footballs in Chicago. The majority of his marketing campaign from here on out will be about how horrible, scary, and evil Romney is.

People need to look at what happened with Obama's signature auto bailout. Money was pumped into a company that was failing, jobs were cut, dealers were shut down, and fat was trimming in order to save the company. So jobs had to be sacrificed in order to keep the company alive and continue to employ those who were left. Sound familiar?

Actually I think attacking Bain will win Obama a lot of the undecided voters. Smart but despicable strategy.

I realize this is campaign season and all..but still, there are really two ways to make your building look taller. You can actually build your building higher and sturdier or you can knock the other guy's building down. After more than three years of BS and broken promises, we know how tall the Obama Building is and we know he is not capable of building it any higher or sturdier. He only has one option left if he is going to win this election. He MUST knock Romney's building down.

I know this topic is about the campaign attack on Romney over his doings with Bain...but I would love to have a chat about Obama's foreign policy "success" in Pakistan too.

Then start a new thread.
