(CBS News) The debate over when Mitt Romney left Bain Capital continued Sunday morning, as a campaign aide to President Obama hammered on the issue despite the Romney campaign's attempt to move beyond the discussion and focus on the economy.
The debate intensified this past week after media reports revealed that Romney maintained the title of "sole shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and President" of Bain Capital after 1999, when he said he left the firm to run the Salt Lake City Olympics. Obama spokesperson Stephanie Cutter said Romney's departure date matters, because his experience at Bain is "his sole rationale for being president."
"If you're signing an SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] document with your own signature that you're the president, C.E.O., chairman of the board and 100 percent owner of a company, in what world are you living in that you're not in charge?" Cutter said Sunday on "Face the Nation."
"If he wasn't the head of it, who was?" she asked.

He got to the top of the business heap by avoiding culpability and responsibility for his actions. We've already had one teflon president, we don't need any repeats.

(193 posts)haunt him from now until November, or until he finally releases, perhaps 2009 2008, in an attempt to show "good faith".
But the mystery and refusal to go further, release more than 2 years, is a big elephant smack dab in the middle of all of his living rooms.
This will eclipse any other points the poor pretty rich boy is trying to make.
He cannot claim to have "created" jobs for the last 10 years, anyway, and we already know he shut down a call center for unemployment benefits, (yes, unemployment benefits call center) in Mass as Governor, so he got rid of American jobs as Governor.
