Obama and top campaign bundler Jonathan Lavine from Bain Capital.
The Obama campaign blamed Governor Mitt Romney for the demise of GST Steel company in a video they released in May. The plant closed in 2001. Mitt left Bain in 1999.
For some reason the Obama camp forgot to mention this… Obama’s top bundler Jonathan Lavine was in charge of Bain during the BST layoffs. Chuck Slowe reported:
Blaming Governor Romney for any issues surrounding the failure of GST is wrong and it is a blatant lie. Mitt Romney had been long gone when the company started to fail and subsequently closed it doors. When are the President and his campaign hacks going to get the story correct? When are they going to get back to their economy and its dreadful condition? Mr. President, you can run but you cannot hide.
It turns out that Jonathan Lavine, current Obama bundler, was actually in charge, at Bain, during that period, when the layoffs occurred. Oops, that isn’t right, is it? Yes, that story is the one that needs to be reported on. Sorry Mr. President, your lies are just getting to be more than many of us are able to handle.
And, Jonathan Lavine is not your average Obama Bain donor. Lavine is one of Barack Obama’s top bundlers. ABC reported:
While Democrats assail presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital business practices, Republicans note that President Obama has not been bashful about accepting cash from Bain executives or other high-profile figures in the corporate buyout business…
…One of Obama’s top campaign financiers – Jonathan Lavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, according to estimates released by the Obama campaign. The president has also relied on other leading figures in the private equity sector as hosts for high-dollar fundraisers and as members of his Jobs Council.
Maybe someday the liberal media will report on this.
Rush said it!!!!!
“Maybe someday the liberal media will report on this.”
Enjoying living in dreamland, I see.
You are disgusting!
Will Romney begin to fight or is he waiting for the obama acceptance speech? There’s so much he can slam obum on in just the last week the teleprompter would go up in smoke.
You are disgusting!
Damn, you trying to get me fired from work?
Wonder why they don’t have Lavine front and center bashing Romney for being the mastermind for gutting companies and ending jobs.
Yikes!
I'm certain he has known about it...but it carries so much more credibility if it is reported independently, if Romney isn't the one reporting it. If it was Romney pointing it out Obama can pivot and have it re-interpreted as political give-and-take, he said, she said. If it comes out independently, then it shows that Obama's campaign are just plain old liars and hypocrites and it can't be used to counter-attack Romney as a negative campaigner and muck-raker.
Once it is out in the open from an independent source then it completely neutralizes the current main line of attack from the other side
bingo
My point what that it's an epic fail for the Obama campaign to push this issue since it is coming back on them.
The picture was replaced with a porn image and a note about stealing bandwidth. I’ll have nightmares for a while.
Well, it was a picture of a beaver, a very large unattractive one. I think the site you posted from was taunting you for bandwith abuse and substituted a different image in place of the one you intended. No harm done...
Now you know how I earned the nickname ‘Bandwidth Bandit’. I will be more careful in the future. Again, my apologies.
http://www.ooblick.com does not like their graphics hotlinked we can now assume.
In the future do not hotlink anything from their url or for that matter anything at all from their website.
Thanks.
Just needed to clear my browsing cache so I don't get a call from the HR department later on!
Will do. Or should I say ‘Won’t do’.
All around Obama is corruption and cronyism. However, Obama remains mostly unscaved...???
Devision politics really pays GOOD.
He may not get reelected.
Although,his punishment on Earth will be a lifetime of being one of the most undeserved multi millionaires, perhaps billionaire, of all time.
Like they say, life isn’t fair.
Now to the head of the class as Obama’s top BUNGLER…
