		<description>It&#039;s also possible to say that, if Romney is responsible for all the job losses caused by Bain then Obama is responsible for all the job losses caused by Solyndra and all the other companies that crashed and burned that received funds from Porkulus...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;What&#039;s good for the goose is NOBODYs business but the ganders!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;There aren&#039;t any people with more Bain connection than Romney, let alone &quot;many&quot;.&lt;/I&gt;

Romney got out of Bain more than a decade ago...

That&#039;s ancient history...

Obama&#039;s Bain connections are within the last 3 years....

I stand by my statements...

		<description>I mean, I don&#039;t exactly like the guy, obviously.  But he was one of the big dogs at Bain.  And successfully so as far as I know.  Gotta give credit where credit is due.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Many MANY people with more Bain connections than Romney ...&lt;/i&gt;

So what you&#039;re saying is that Romney wasn&#039;t all that much of a top dog at Bain?  That instead of proving he knows how to run an economy, this supposedly big chunk of his resume is really kind of a nothing-much?  That it&#039;s not like he was one of the founders or something?

Might want to check your facts.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Michale: Right off, please source your accusations of &quot;having hundreds of officials...that are Bain people,&quot; and,&quot;You can&#039;t throw a rock within the US Government w/o hitting a dozen Bain people.&quot; Say a lie often and loud enough people will believe it.&lt;/I&gt;

I am also constrained to point out that the Bain group advised the Obama administration during the Auto Bailouts...

Bain is linked with the Obama Administration MUCH more and a lot more recently than Bain is linked  with Romney.

The Bain argument is a no-winner for Democrats... 

What good is mud-slinging if the mud covers Dems more than Romney???

		<description>EG,

As I am wont to say...

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Welcome to the party, pal!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-John McClane, DIE HARD

Let&#039;s get to it, shall we??  :D

&lt;I&gt;Michale: Right off, please source your accusations of &quot;having hundreds of officials...that are Bain people,&quot; and,&quot;You can&#039;t throw a rock within the US Government w/o hitting a dozen Bain people.&quot; Say a lie often and loud enough people will believe it.&lt;/I&gt;

I cited two, but for the sake of my argument, he numbers really don&#039;t matter.

By crowing early and often about the Bain people, Obama has completely negated any Bain criticism of Romney.  

If he tries it, he will just look like more of a hypocrite than he already does...  or is... :D

&lt;I&gt;And as you say, &quot;...ya&#039;all know what a dullard I am,&quot; there&#039;s total agreement on that. &lt;/I&gt;

Common ground!

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Yea!!  Ain&#039;t it kewl!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-John Travolta, BROKEN ARROW

&lt;I&gt;To business on the economy, our POTUS knew enough to push through the Stimulus package, saving over a million jobs, knew enough that even $1,000 in a worker&#039;s paycheck makes a difference. Knew enough that adding additional tax cuts is not the way to go. &lt;/I&gt;

Yea, and how we doing so far??  :D  Pretty damn crappy..

All Obama did was put a few bandaids on a patient dying from cancer..

The system was (and still is) broken...  If Bush and Obama hadn&#039;t put on these bandaids, the system would have collapsed, a better system would have been put into place and we would be on a REAL recovery road instead of this limp-dicked recover that Obama/Biden love to crow about..

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Were Americans better off 4 years ago?? Of course they were.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-President Barack Obama

&lt;I&gt;That pushing infrastructure in his Jobs Bill is shovel ready, held up by the repub/tparty who add their poison pills. &lt;/I&gt;

Shovel Ready???  Did you really say &quot;shovel ready&quot;???

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Shovel-ready was not as ... uh .. shovel-ready as we expected.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-President Barack Obama

Even Obama admits that shovel ready wasn&#039;t really shovel ready...

So, let&#039;s debunk that &quot;shovel ready&quot; myth right now...

&lt;I&gt;Have you all forgotten the Bush/Cheney criminal regime,&lt;/I&gt;

Really??  &quot;Criminal regime&quot;??  What exactly made it a criminal regime??  Torture???  Gitmo??  Illegal surveillance???

All the things that Obama not only continued but EXPANDED on???

So, if that makes Bush/Cheney a &quot;criminal regime&quot; than obviously you would agree that Obama&#039;s is a &quot;criminal regime&quot;, right??

&lt;B&gt;&quot;So, obviously, it takes you five minutes to cook breakfast.  You knew that.  Instant grits???&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Joe Pesci, MY COUSIN VINNY

&lt;I&gt;Maybe, I&#039;d prefer a mite ignorant of fact.&lt;/I&gt;

Well, now you have a buttload of facts...  :D

I breathlessly await your response...  :D

CW,

&lt;I&gt;Secondly, Michale loves to argue. &lt;/I&gt;

Hay now!!  I resemble that remark!!!   :D

&lt;I&gt;But he&#039;s hard to convince. Just wanted to warn you in advance.&lt;/I&gt;

Naw, I am easy to convince... As long as one resorts to logic and facts and less of hysteria...  :D

Thanks for posting, it&#039;s good to know how little some people know, or care to know.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;that he somehow &quot;understands the economy&quot; better than everyone else (and certainly better than Barack Obama)&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s not such a big claim.   

Hell, *I* understand the economy better than President Obama...   And ya&#039;all know what a dullard I am when it comes to economic issues..

There is also a very good THIRD reason why Democrats should ignore the Bain connection..

Many MANY people with more Bain connections than Romney are officials within the Obama administration..  Obama&#039;s soon to be Chief Of Staff has a solid Bain connection, as does Obama&#039;s recent appointment to the OMB..

Obama will look like a hypocrite (more so than he already does) for castigating Romney&#039;s connection with Bain, while having hundreds of officials within his own administration that are Bain people...

You can&#039;t throw a rock within the US Government w/o hitting a dozen Bain people...
