Oops! Heres a little something that must have slipped out while David Axelrod and the rest of the President Barack Hussein kill list Obama reelection campaign committee werent looking. The Obama reelection campaign blamed Mitt Romney for the failure of GST Steel company in 2001. A May, 2012, TV ad focuses on the Bain acquisition of GST Steel, and it shows workers at a shuttered plant blaming Romney and Bain Capital for the closure and job losses.
But there are two facts about this situation that the Obama campaign would rather that you not know.
First, GST Steel failed in 2001. Romney left Bain Capital in 1999. I can see how the desperate Obama campaign could try to blame Romney for the failure sort of a halo effect, like the one Newsweek placed around Obamas head back in May of this year. I know the Newsweek cover was about gay rights, but both the cover and the campaign ad are reaching.
Second, what is probably the more interesting fact is that Jonathan Lavine was in charge of Bain during the GST closure and occurrence of job losses. Who, you ask, is Jonathan Lavine? Well, it turns out that Lavine is one of Obamas campaign bundlers. And Lavine is not just any bundler, he is a top bundler, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in campaign contributions. And he is doing all of this while the managing director at Bain Capital.

This instance is yet another case of Democrats accusing their opponents of doing bad things that they themselves do regularly. That's the very definition of hypocrisy!!!
Ping!!!
Yeah, I can see the “news” media jumping all over this. They’re too busy still blaming Romney for this.
Maybe there's an explanation! After all, when it was pointed out to Liawatha Warren that she was getting more Wall Street money than Scott Brown, she hastened to explain that hers was from good Wall Street firms that want reform! ;-)
Yes, the "good Wall Street firms" that she's talking about want "reform" all right, but only reform that benefits their interests at the expense of competitors. It's the old rigged regulatory game where government picks its friends as winners and everyone else as losers.
Leftist Democrat fat cats populate the boards of major "capitalist" corporations to much greater extent than most people realize.

Thank you, justiceseeker93.
There wouldn't be any of this, which justiceseeker93 called "hypocrisy," if we had a half-neutral media!
The MSM's day of reckoning is fast approaching!
