With about three weeks to go before the vote, OBrien ran an ad about Bain Capital, resurrecting attacks on Romneys role downsizing the paper company Ampad Inc. and asking voters, Now Romney wants us to trust him with our jobs and our economy?
Mitt and I had talked about it a million times after the Kennedy campaign, Manning said, referring to the attack ads Senator Edward Kennedy used so successfully against Romney in 1994. We said, if were ever in a campaign again and they go after Bain Capital, were going to go really hard back at them.
Romney responded with an ad that criticized OBrien for her tenure at a failed health care company. OBrien is attacking Mitt Romney for a company he never managed, just invested in, the ad began. . .

(32,733 posts)Even if he did manage it, experience in vulture capitalism isn't what I'd consider useful for running the country... but now it turns out he didn't do that either?

Enjoyed the read.
Basically it just means that Romney never really worked in a real job his entire life.

(11,364 posts)In fact, Bain Capital never even existed! It's still 1980, and Mitt Romney is Ronald Reagan!
