I don't recall that and, I'm not sure what the previous President said about anything is germane to the discussion about how ignorant of corporate practices the current administration seems to be.
"Bush's fault" is pretty ingrained, eh?
@ Boutox.
ing idiot...

'bout like his stint with the Texas Rangers. Now if only he had passed the presidency on to Nolan Ryan......
governement is NOT a "corporation", and trying to run it as one, esp the balance sheet is disastrous.
your good buddies dubya and head ran US govt into the ground for the sole purpose of transferring taxpayer dollars to corporations.

Four former Bain hands, Three of whom are Democrats and two of whom are active Obama supporters, say Romney walked away for the Winter Olympics and never came back.
No is the word from four sources who communicated with CNN on Thursday -- all of whom have firsthand knowledge of Bain's operations at the time in question. Three of the four are Democrats, and two of the four are active Obama supporters in Campaign 2012.
All four told me Romney is telling the truth.1) The Obama Campaign has the world's worst opposition researchers. Every thing they've thrown at Romney has collapsed in a big pile of dung, right out of the box; or,
2) The Obama Campaign has absolutely no understanding of how the free market system works or the language of the corporate world. There is a difference between the words "controlling," "managing," and "operating" in SEC Filings; or,
3) The Obama Campaign thinks Americans are a bunch of idiots that will believe the lies told about his opponent; or,
4) They're in a panic and just throwing against the wall to see what sticks.
Which do you think it is?
yet he's up in all swing state polls.. what does say about Romney? LOL
So he was the CEO and chairman of the board, but had walked away from the Job? Seems at best he wasn't performing the duties he was being paid to do. Is that the type of efficient manager you want leading our nation?
Like I said, Democrats don't understand corporate language.
According to the SEC filings, Romney still owned Bain after he left the company to run the Olympics; and, as such, until ownership was transferred to the purchasing partners (which took some time), he was listed as the controlling official -- because he OWNED the damn place.
No one with any knowledge of events -- Democrats included -- claim Romney had anything to do with the day-to-day operations of Bain after he walked out the door and went to work for the OOC. No one.
It's a non-issue.
Romney's vulnerable to liars? Well, big ing surprise.
Mark Twain is credited with saying, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes”
Well, the truth is getting dressed a bit quicker than it used to, these days.
Aren't you even the least bit concerned the Boston Globe recycled a story that had been settled years ago, only to be a convenient set up for the Obama campaign to suggest Romney is a felon?
No collusion there. [/sarcasm]
Thank God for the new media that is willing and persistent enough to beat these organizations about the head and body with the truth.

Was he drawing a paycheck as the CEO during that time?
He left the company but still owned the company!
I have no idea. I'm not even sure he drew a paycheck when he was running the place. He owned the company and, for all I know, was paid in dividends alone. Well, what do you know?
I'm satisfied there are plenty of people -- across political lines -- that say this is a non-issue for it to be a non-issue.
"Was he drawing a paycheck as the CEO during that time?"
the answer to that is in his tax returns, along with all the checks received as director of Bain victim companies. A VERY GOOD REASON why Gecko won't release his tax returns (he did give McLiar 23 years' worth when try to snag veep, but lost out to quitter pitbull from the Alaska boondocks)
Oh I guarantee you he continued to collect dividends during that period - Reaping the rewards of his company off-shoring jobs. I tend to agree this is politically driven and ultimately a non-issue, but considering the political environment, I would be disappointed if the Obama campaign did not try and capitalize on the information. Romney is going up against a well-oiled political machine. It's not like Crossroads GPS and the like are not honing in on similar non-issues to score political points for Romney. Politics is a dirty business.
There's a difference between scoring political points and calling your opponent a potential felon.
You have Romney standing by idle as his supporters suggest Obama be tried for treason. No political points scored there...
In and of itself, this is nothing. The story is how poorly the Romney campaign has handled it.
It only broke in the Globe in the last few days. I think the Romney Camp has responded fine and it will be a nothing issue by Monday.
I loved the way John Sununu dismantled Andrea Mitc on the "outsourcing" issue. ing hilarious.
Romney Interview Directly Contradicts His Previous Statements About Bain Tenure
Mitt Romney told CBS News‘s Jan Crawford Friday evening that he did not attend Bain Capital meetings after he left the company in February of 1999 to run the Winter Olympics. But this answer appears to contradict sworn testimony he delivered in 2002 “as part of a hearing to determine whether he had sufficient residency status in Massachusetts to run for governor”:
– 2002: “[T]here were a number of social trips and business trips that brought me back to Massachusetts, board meetings, Thanksgiving and so forth.”
– 2012: “I was in Salt Lake City for three straight years. I don’t recall even coming back once to go to a Bain or management meeting. We were, I was out there running the Olympics and it was a full time job, I can tell you that.”
“Jan, I had no involvement with the management of Bain Capital after 1999,” Romney insisted on Friday.

lol thinkprogress
It was a nothing issue to begin with. But it's taken headlines and television coverage away from where Romney wants them focused, the awful economy. The Bain criticism seems to be gaining traction as well.
Reminiscent of Cheney and Haliburton.
Choosing which politician is more full of is kinda like asking if urine or feces tastes better. It's not as if Obama hasn't blew a whole bunch a sunshine up our asses.

I thought the yoni's of the world hated flip floppers..
Meet Bainers, the New Birthers
At least we've finally outgrown the "gate" suffix.
