From what they were saying at FNC the 'King of Bain' had some very gross errors in it. I did find these with a few minutes of google search: ■The film talks about layoffs at DDi Corp. and discusses questionable manipulation of stock prices after the circuit board company went public. But Romney had left Bain Capital a year before any layoffs and a public stock offering that ultimately netted Bain and Romney a big payday. The company’s subsequent bankruptcy filing came two years after Bain had largely divested from the company, and was the result of the dot-com bust. Moreover, the company emerged from bankruptcy, and its current CEO credits those early Bain investments for setting the foundation for the company’s current success. ■The film claims Romney was involved in the acquisition, management and demise of the now-defunct KB Toys. He wasn’t. Bain bought the toy company nearly two years after Romney left Bain. ■Likewise, the closing of UniMac’s plant in Marianna, Fla., occurred seven years after Romney left Bain and nearly two years after Bain sold UniMac’s parent company to another private equity house

Fortunately for Obama, it's going to be very difficult for Romney to make all these points in a 30 second ad.

RE:”Fortunately for Obama, it's going to be very difficult for Romney to make all these points in a 30 second ad.

Obama won't have to use the now discredited ‘King of Bain’ video of as a source, he will just run ads of ‘conservatives’ like Newt to get his 99%er message across, as MSNBC is doing daily now.

‘King of Bain’ strikes one hell of a similarity to Moore's recent ‘Capitalism a Love Story’.

If there is a real debate on any serious issue on this I can't find it. It's all 'look at the other guy because he is bad so vote for me' but when I look at either it makes me ill.
