Not Even Half<\/h1>\n

President Obama has given billions of taxpayer dollars to companies that later failed\u2014many of them were run by Democrat donors. This is just another example of President Obama’s pattern of picking winners and losers and wasting taxpayer money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After weeks of getting hit on his business record at Bain Capital, Mitt Romney is flipping the script and attacking President Obama on his administration’s performance helping green energy companies.<\/p>\n

In its latest bruising Web video<\/a>, the Romney campaign points to Solyndra, a solar energy company that filed for bankruptcy after receiving $535 million in loan guarantees from the federal government. The video points to several other companies, such as ECOtality and First Solar, that also lost money and cut jobs after receiving federal loan guarantees.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than $16 billion have gone to companies like Solyndra that are linked to big Obama and Democrat donors,\u201d the narrator says. \u201cObama is giving taxpayer money to big donors, and then watching them lose it. Good for them. Bad for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Republicans in Congress have consistently hammered the Obama administration on Solyndra, but Romney has not followed this line of attack for several months. Back in January, Romney said<\/a> that Obama was a \u201cventure capitalist in Solyndra\u201d and a \u201cprivate equity guy in Chrysler and General Motors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Republican operatives were singing the same tune on Tuesday, as the Karl Rove-backed American Crossroads super PAC released a video<\/a> that attacks Obama on both the auto bailout and Solyndra, calling him “Public Equity President Obama.”<\/p>\n

BAIN CAPITAL – THRIVING AND GROWING – MITT ROMNEY’S PROJECT – SUCCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

In late 2011, Bain Capital moved its headquarters to the John Hancock Tower in Boston, Massachusetts. Bain occupies 210,000 sq. ft. from the 36th to 43rd floors. (Wikipedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Did Romney Really Cost People Jobs At Bain\u00a0Capital?<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n

May 22, 2012<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s nothing worse than being forced to defend a candidate you don\u2019t particularly like. But we\u2019ll do that today in defense of Mitt Romney who has been unfairly attacked by President Obama concerning Bain Capital. Obama has so much as said the campaign<\/a> is going to be about Bail Capital, presumably Mitt Romney\u2019s time there. Obama is going to point to a number of layoffs, Romney will point to a number of successes. The question though is what is Bain Capital? If you don\u2019t understand what Bain is then you don\u2019t understand the layoffs or successes.<\/p>\n

Bain is the business version of a house flipper. People who flip\u00a0 houses buy\u00a0dilapidated\u00a0homes cheaply, renovate them and sell\u00a0 them for a large profit. Bain does the same thing with businesses. They buy\u00a0dying companies on the verge of bankruptcy cheaply, they restructure the company, get it profitable again and sell it for a large profit. Sometimes Bain is successful, they were with Staples and Burger King, Other times they aren\u2019t successful and they suffer a loss.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to keep in mind though that the jobs lost under Bain\u2019s watch likely would have been lost anyway. They weren\u2019t buying successful businesses, they were buying unsuccessful businesses on the verge of closing their doors. It\u2019s absurd to blame Bain Capital or Mitt Romney because some of their investments didn\u2019t work out. If anything, Bain\u2019s involvement pushed off layoffs at some of these companies for a\u00a0 year or two because again Bain only bought dying companies.<\/p>\n

Obama is attacking Romney, just like Newt did during the primaries. It\u2019s an unfounded attack. Romney is responsible for saving or creating thousands of jobs at successful Bain projects. The job losses from unsuccessful Bain projects can hardly be attributed to Romney. Had Bain not purchased those businesses, the jobs would have been lost anyway when the company went bankrupt which they were all on the verge of. It\u2019s unfortunate that people lost their jobs but they were going to lose their jobs anyway. Bain Capital and Mitt Romney tried to save those jobs and turn a profit for themselves and their investors at the same time.<\/p>\n

Even some Democrats are annoyed at Obama\u2019s attack on private equity firms. Newark Mayor and Obama supporter Cory Booker called Obama\u2019s attack on Bain \u201cnauseating<\/a>.\u201d He\u2019s since backed off his comments, in what looks like a forced Gulag confession. Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell called Obama\u2019s attacks \u201cdisappointing<\/a>.\u201d Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) defended<\/a> Romney. It\u2019s also important to note that Obama campaign bundler($200,000+)\u00a0\u00a0Jonathan Lavine<\/a> is a Bain executive.<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s attacks on Romney and Bain Capital show a hatred of private enterprise. Obama\u2019s perfectly ok with government spending tax money on green investments. He shrugs his shoulders when over 1,000 jobs are lost along with $500+ million in tax money at Solyndra. It\u2019s only when private money is spent trying to turn a profit on dying companies that Obama begins to have problems. He ignores the successes of Bain Capital, the thousands of jobs that were created and the major companies that remain in business today because of Bain. He\u2019s only interested in Bain\u2019s inability to save a handful of jobs at a handful of bankrupt companies.<\/p>\n

Bain is another in a long line of smoke and mirrors arguments coming from Obama. He doesn\u2019t want to talk about his performance as President, he doesn\u2019t want to talk about the economy. So he\u2019s creating issues and fudging the truth to boot. A couple weeks ago it was homosexual marriage, now it\u2019s Bain Capital. You would think there\u2019s plenty to attack Romney over policy wise. But to debate policy with Romney is to open Obama up to attack on his failures as President. So to avoid that Obama is attacking Romney\u2019s business. It\u2019s pathetic, it\u2019s shameful and it isn\u2019t even accurate.<\/p>\n
