RICHMOND, Va. (Official Wire) — Mitt Romney insists that he stepped down from his private equity firm years earlier than federal records indicate, but President Barack Obama is more than a little skeptical and says his Republican rival has much to explain.
Obama campaign advisers said the president, during a second straight day in tightly contested Virginia, planned to remind voters on Saturday of the discrepancies between Securities and Exchange Commission filings and Romney’s recollection of his role at Boston-based Bain Capital.
Obama was focusing on a state that he won in 2008, a first for a Democratic nominee since 1964, and on an issue that Romney says diverts attention from struggling economy.
A new ad from Obama’s campaign repeated the charges that the firm shipped American jobs to China and Mexico; that Romney has personal wealth in investments in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands; and that as Massachusetts governor, he sent state jobs to India.

Some of Obama’s people took money from Bain. Let us get the world out.
Obama is the President of GM off-shoring and outsourcing – GM he purchased GM with $80 Billion and then proceeded to outsource 7 out of 10 jobs and now is moving R 7 D engineering to China – it is all here so spread it around and I bet the Bain story will be gone like the summer winds.

His answer will be “LIES ALL LIES,,,,,”…YA BETCHA.
If this is all obama has, he needs to resign………….Obama is guilty of lies, close door sessions with the democrats, like the health bill……..if he evers tells the truth, I think the earth would stop spining.
Can’t wait for the debates and watch him squirm……It will take months just to delete his EO’s, going around Congress.
AP articles are just such great examples of the death of Journalism as a honest trade. The WWWWH test is dead and not even talk about anymore. Look at all the negative article they wrote about Obama in 2008 and now 2012 Impressive huh>?
Of course he attacks romney’s record whatever it is. He can spin it into what he wants, lie and shovel it over to the MSM. They will suck it up and report it to hell. Omao has no record. It was sealed by him. Open the records you chickensh*t…
Hey obama, nevermind romney’s job record, now that we’ve seen yours. What have you done but lose jobs. Every month the unemployment numbers come out and guess what, they are always in the dumper. The XL pipeline, 20,000 plus jobs, shutting down drilling and coal fired enegry plants, more jobs lost, not to mention higher prices. Maybe you and your enviroment wacko’s should study real history. Back in the 900′s we had a 400 year heatwave, then we had a mini iceage. The point is there were less people, no coal or oil burning factories, but we still had the heatwave. Then your EPA turned off the water to the farms in California to protect some little stinking fish? Sure then you say you care. Do the country a favor, quit, dropdead, retire, anything but doing what your doing. Look at the bright side if you do, go can even more golf, you jerk.
