Rendell: Hey, can you believe these Bain attacks from Obama? [The saga continues]
Hot Air ^ | MAY 21, 2012 | Ed Morrissey

Ed Rendell joins Harold Ford and Cory Booker as critics within Barack Obama’s own party of his electoral strategy of demonizing private equity. In a BuzzFeed article that focuses on the larger disconnect between Obama and Democratic Party institutions, Zeke Miller gets the former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania — a state critical to Obama’s re-election hopes — on the record as decidedly uncomfortable with the tone of Team Obama’s attacks on Bain Capital:

Rendell joined the chorus of criticism of Obama’s attacks on finance, whose leaders have written checks to many members of both parties.

“I think they’re very disappointing,” Rendell said of the ads attacking Bain. “I think Bain is fair game, because Romney has made it fair game. But I think how you examine it, the tone, what you say, is important as well.”

As for Booker, “I admire him,” Rendell said. “People in politics should tell the truth. He could have qualified it better, he could have framed it better, but if you’re in this business, none of us like negative ads.”

Like rats on a sinking ship! Lots of democrats trying to buy space between them selves and obammy. I find it strinking that the two to strike out first, Ford and Booker are both black democrats. They don't want their 'brand' associated with (tainted by) bho.

And another thing...having 2 black democrats speak out aagainst obama kind of innoculates white democrats who turn on him from cries of racism...you know how touchy rats are about that sort of thing.

Zero’s racist supporters don’t care about the economy — after all, no one cared how good or bad the economy was when they were hurting! Reparations! Reparations! By any means necessary!

Thanks RobinMasters.

Vary peculiar, most all Democrats intent further economic destruction, hurting job creation by increasing the burden of taxes, unnecessary regulation and more government debt.

Heres how the Romney/RNC needs to reply:

Show a montage of Bain’s successes and the jobs created, then contrast that with BHO’s green invetment strategy, how much money was spent and now the boarded up bankrupt companies, the jobs lost, and the impact of this strategy on the price of gas, electric power, loss of coal jobs and shut down of coal plants...

Yes, the recession has been over since June 2009, yet Democrats, with the approval of their chosen Keynesian Economist, are spending like there is a depression, in an effort to reestablish their lost credibility on economic issues, because their key legislation, the Stimulus bill failed even by the Democrats own projections of 3.5 million jobs and 90% in the private sector.

And also replay Obozo’s comments where he states as President he doesn’t have to concern himself with maximizing profits (or as Mark Levin states being successful!).
