‘Disgusting and Demeaning’: Romney Fires Back on Bain Attacks

President Obama’s attacks on former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney are pretty much universally agreed to have gone too far by this point. The President’s own surrogates are walking the attacks back, and other members of the press are rapidly spinning this as a very convincing instance of egg on the face of a major national campaign.
But until tonight, no one had heard Romney himself speak on the attacks. Fortunately, thanks to a hard hitting interview with Jim Acosta of CNN, that discrepancy has been remedied. Watch the interview via Mediaite below:
The interview is vast and wide-ranging in its scope, and we strongly suggest that readers watch the whole thing. However, the following are the parts we think are most relevant and hard hitting.
Romney on his role at Bain Capital after February of 1999:
I had no role whatsoever in the management of Bain Capital after February of 1999. Not that that would have been a problem to have said I was with the firm beyond that, but I simply wasn’t. I left in February of 1999 to run the Olympics. I went and did that full-time, relinquished all management, authority and role.[...]
There’s a difference being being a shareholder and running the entity. I had no role whatsoever in managing Bain Capital after February of 1999.
On his involvement with Staples:
Actually, Staples at that point was an investment by Bain Capital. Bain Capital had already sold its shares, distributed its shares in Staples. So my involvement with Staples was entirely on a personal basis. I continued to be involved with the firm, but it was as a fiduciary for Staples, not representative of Bain Capital, because Bain Capital had no further interest in Staples at that point.
And finally, on President Obama’s “felon” attack:
Is this the level the Obama campaign is willing to stoop to? Is this up to the standards expected of the presidency of the United States? I don’t think the American people think so; I certainly don’t think so. I think it’s a very disappointing revelation on their part. [...]
It is disgusting, demeaning, and something I think the president should take responsibility for and stop.
Difficult to put it more clearly than that.

Posted on July 18, 2012 at 9:10pmFlashback:Romney in 2012:
“In order to make sure that I didn’t have a conflict of interest while I was Governor, or when I was considering a run for national office, I had a blind trust established.”
Romney in 1994:
“The blind trust is an age-old ruse, if you will, which is to say, you can always tell the blind trust what it can and cannot do. You give a blind trust rules.”

The meat of the article is that the Obama campaign spouts nothing but lies, and avoids addressing the problems this great country faces, and Obama is partially responsible for. Obama is the single most unaccomplished president ever. He’s done nothing. He has no executive experience, he has no business experience. He’s a school teacher at best, but lord knows who would have their child be taught by such a chip on the shoulder chump as Barry S. He’s definetly not American in spirit or deed. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I and many others agree with you. Romney sould have made comment about fast and furious when the admin called him a fellon. I’d have called O a murderer. Additionally when asked about Romney’s association with Bush types, Romney should reply: “I’m more concerned about O and his past and present association with known radicals, communists and criminals, and how his actions seem to run in those directions.” Give names dates address, the whole enchilada. I’d let O have it if I were Romney. I’d have O behind bars (prison) when I got finished. That’s where O belongs, the one at Guantanamo. Most the others, in the dem party, belong in a luny farm.

Oh, but that is bad thing right? I can only hope for your sake that you are just misguided and haven’t thought about what you sound like when you demonize success. Would you rather everyone be failures? Do you celebrate mediocrity? Nothing like a failed business to aspire to in America, right Rocks In Your Head?
The Bain Capital boogy man narrative is weak and pathetic. And I doubt the independents and women will run from Romney as I do not think they have ROCKS IN THERE HEAD like you.
Your kung fu is not strong!

You’ve hit the nail on the head. This inept administration does know fact one about how cooperations are structured, how they are operate. Obama and his half-wit minions throw accusations around like buffoons. The level of idiocy manifested is beyond comprehension for someone who is considered to be so “brilliant” by the uneducated masses, but actually typical of someone who can’t rise obove the level of community orgainizer. Every day he reminds me more and more of a snake oil salesman.

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 12:11amI hope Mitt can talk away the fact that SEC filings a full 2 years after his leaving Bain in 1999 identify him as CEO and president. Being sole shareholder is one thing, hard to ignore roles that have to be active like CEO and president. Perhaps the second made a clerical error, but until we know that then this is going to haunt him. And smiling it away may not work.
Strange that a man like Mitt might have not cleared this up previously.

Of course you are completely correct about the ownership and SEC filings. Good luck making the case on this website – as most the people will not listen.
Romney says he was not involved with Bain after 1999 but yet he was sole owner and the tax filings indicated he was CEO – how does he expect to get around that? Acting like he is offended is usually reserved for people in the wrong.
Mitt thinks he can just say whatever and people will believe him – but facts are not on his side. He has a flip flopping past and he will not be trusted

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 12:01amThe idea that Obama and company wouldnt attack on this is just silly. Acting like the Obama people have a issue with lies shows Romney is completely outmatched and has no clue of what is going on.

I want to see the report the SEC report on this. I mean there are 5 SEC filings on companies created in 2002 that Romney was their boss. If that is true and Romney is found guilty the GOP has been completely played.
Problem for Romney even if he is cleared of this is we are a headline nation. For three days now people have seen typical political back and forth but the words “felon” and “Romney” are tied together.
If the Romney camp didnt know this was going to be a issue they are showing once again they are just not cut out for the job. If they did know, they should have handled it better.
Either way no matter who wins in November, Americans lose.

As you know, the republicans have not nominated their candidate. Dont you think Romney should be vetted BEFORE we select him???? Or would you rather throw a mystery candidate into the general election against the most evil and nasty campaign ever created?
Look, the GOP and the establishment pushed Romney on us. We need to make sure things are legit. Do you think Romney should not be vetted just because Ron Paul is still a candidate? Personally, i think everyone would be more happy if we all compromised and nominated someone like Rand Paul. It is possible to do all that at the convention – it has been done in the past

I dont push Johnson. I actually have been saying a Ron Paul write in vote is more powerful message than the Johnson vote, but that is just my opinion.
There is no way you can connect me to being pro Obama. Last I checked, cutting spending, ending the pointless overseas wars, ending the FED, ending the TSA, repealing the Patriot act and NDAA, and making government smaller are Ron Paul plans. Romney and Obama dont like those ideas. Remember I dont see the difference between the two of them. If I wanted Obama’s polices like you I would be voting for Romney.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:50pmThere is so much to absolutely destroy Obama with that is pure fact and done by this administration. Now we just need Romney to tear into him and remind the American people what they have done to this country in the past four years and what they are going to do if they have another four years. I cannot for the life of me figure out why any sane person would vote for Obama. They certainly cannot love America and freedom.

I would say your statement is true of anyone who has voted for federal office candidates from either establishment party for the last 30+ years. Let’s face it, most in here identify with the R brand and so everything the R‘s do is good and everything the D’s do is wrong. Go to the Huff Po and most in there identify with the D brand and so they think just the opposite. Neither group is employing clear headed rational thought to the process. Both establishment parties are progressive at their cores. If you crave love of country, I prefer to call it constitutional fidelity, and freedom, I prefer to call it liberty, start looking elsewhere. You won’t find either in a Romney administration or an Obama administration. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Peace.
