Mitt Romney either lied in federal filings that show he worked at Bain Capital through 2002 and could be guilty of a felony, or has lied to the American people in saying he left the company in 1999, the Obama campaign is arguing in light of news reports on the firm’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

And Obama and his administration are guilty of enabling the murders of 300 plus Mexican citizens, at least 2 US Federal agents, and possibly several dozen US citizens. All in the name of subversion of the Civil Rights of US citizens.
Um... Until that is addressed, I couldn’t care less what Romney puts on his tax forms.
Take the gloves off and bring the heat... Romney should start delving into the shady background of Obama.
No more Mr. Nice Guy, Mitt. Try doing to a Democrat what you’ve been doing to Republican adversaries for years.
Barack Obama either lied about the White House involvement in the Fast and Furious murders or else he illegally used Executive Privilege to shield documents.
Booyah!
I was in the private equity/venture capital business for over 25 years.
Most investment funds have three parts:
The Limited Partners (investors like pension and endowment funds, etc.)
The General Partner (the deal makers)
and
the operating company.
The operating company is a pass-through entity that exists on paper for the purpose of paying the rent and writing paychecks to the staff. Usually the founder(s) of the General Partner own the operating company (I owned 50% of our operating company). It means absolutely NOTHING to own or control the operating company since it starts out each year with zero dollars in it and ends each year with zero dollars. It is strictly a way of having a Sub “S” or LLC handle the day-to-day money. In many ways, it is like owning the cash box (shoe box in my kids’ case) at a lemonade stand - it starts out empty and it ends empty, regardless of how much cash it held during the day.
Mitt could own and control the operating company and have absolutely NO INVOLVEMENT with the General Partner.
This is too difficult to explain to Democrats, but the issue will die down as the lawyer-types tell the front men to back off.
Not so fast
Let’s not shoot the messenger on this one. Perfect opportunity for mittens to gracefully drop out in Miami in August and we have Newt or Santorum pick up the standard
OBAMA is claiming somebody ELSE lied to the public???????!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Biden lied to voters about his wife being killed by a drunk driver.
Joe Biden lied during the Clarence Thomas nomination hearings.
Democrats lie. It’s the Stalinist gene they carry.
Complete Bullshit.
He was running the Winter Olympics.
No thanks to Saintorum.
I do believe that it is a felony offense to lie about one's country of origin on a student loan application.
Actually, it was debunked by FactCheck.org over a week ago.
And when the Obama campaign tried to get them to change their story with new "facts", FactCheck told them:
Next, someone at the Boston Globe will complain that they didn't know this, or that it is "disputed". That's unmitigated BS: FactCheck literally destroyed Obama's claim.
The Globe's editors should be ashamed of perpetuating this smear. Even the Washington Post already said these claims were bogus.
The Democrats and their operatives like Politico know this is a lie, along with the 10,000 other lies they will drop over the next 120 days.
If they can convince a few feeble minded fools to vote democrat with each orchestrated deceit, they consider it a victory.
Since you have some experience in this, I recommend that you go read the FactCheck article about it that I linked in an earlier posting.
Romney turned over control of Bain to other officers when he went to rescue the Winter Olympics in 1999. He filed documents with the government to that effect. Mitt reportedly was working 16-hour days, 7 days a week in Utah, and didn't have any time for Bain. No one has come up with any evidence to the contrary -- and the Obama campaign can only make vague innuendos.
However, Romney did not officially retire from Bain and become a limited partner until a few years later. To me, it looks like he planned to return to Bain, but after being away for a few years, he decided to make it official.
I believe others have already pointed out that he was THE SOLE OWNER of Bain at the time, or the sole owner of the financial fund involved in these activities.
So, the Sole Owner's company is outsourcing jobs and raking in the big bucks with a trade in the bodies of murdered babies, and he bears no responsibility for any of that.
Sure guys.
How about this, the neighborhood procurer was getting tired of dealing directly with the girls in his stable so he hired a bunch of street thugs to take over the jobs and give him both expansion in the market place and some vacation time. The cops busted his employees. Ross claimed to be innocent since he didn't actually hustle the girls directly.
Now that's a true story ~ and the cops went ahead and busted Ross anyway.
You will need a comprehensive story that demonstrates that Romney had absolutely no contact with his money, and gave it all away to charity or something. So far this one is not smelling right at all.
They're worried about competition??
Hey, this is nothing yet - and just barely starting. You better fashion your seat belts now if you think this is rough. After the conventions the proverbial matter will really be flying.
Does Obama have A mole in the Romney Campaign?
