This is politics. If Romney is vulnerable to these types of attacks in the general election (and I think this is Obama’s only hope of winning) then it’s best to come out with it now.
There are different ways to make money and not all of them are good. Republicans don’t need to bow at the alter of some guy just becasue he is a “capitalist”.

That’s and EXCELLENT POINT. It really doesn’t matter whether Bain was moral or not...if it can be used against him in a populist way, which it obviously can be, then the so-called ‘electable’ Romney might not be so electable after all.

I only watched half, but it seems that the first two companies affected were healthy. If they’d been distressed when Bain came in, and still did not succeed, then that would be understandable. But it disturbs me that Romney, et al., took over growing companies and killed them. Apparently, from day one Bain began the demise. Free enterprise... I get it... but it’s generally sleazy.
It would be great if Romney weren’t our candidate — and maybe he won’t be — because Obama’s machine will be playing this movie 24/7 before November.
