Romney Bain Capital Record Targeted By Obama Campaign

President Obama continues to stoke the flames of class warfare.

Huff Post has reported that President Barack Obama's reelection campaign on Monday morning opened a new front in its election faceoff with presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, releasing documentary-style videos and a full website portraying Romney as a job-destroying corporate takeover artist.  Read the full story...

Of course, the Obama campaign left out a few FACTS.

FACT: Bain Capital LLC shut down in 2001. Romney left Bain in 1999, long before the plant closing, to run the XIX Olympic Winter Games in February 2002 in Salt Lake City.

FACT: A political power-player serving as a director of Bain at the time of the steel company's bankruptcy and layoffs--Jonathan Lavine. Lavine joined Bain in 1993. He is currently a Managing Director, and since its inception, managing partner and the Chief Investment Officer of Sankaty Advisors.

Blaming Romney for decisions made two years after he left the company is deceitful at best, but blaming predecessors is what Obama does better than anything else--it his trademark tactic.  Lavine joined Bain Capital in 1993.

Lavine is also a major bundler for President Obama, raising between $100-200k for his reelection.

SUGGESTION: Maybe the president should use some of Lavine's donations to help the steelworkers featured in his ad.
