Now that the “100,000 jobs created” talking-point has been discredited, we sense a new talking point developing in the Romney campaign — that 80...

As the firestorm dies down about Bain Capital, the core of the debate must remain. What ethic will guide our next president? Will he have a profit-motive or a people-motive?

Fine to nail Romney with Bain capitalism. But let's not forget Romney's budget proposal, which mimics Paul Ryan's. Take a moment to make yourself aware of both, because they're eye-opening and scary.

Really? Teaching Constitutional law was not a real job? Being a grade school or high school teacher or college professor doesn't make you part of the "free economy" workforce in Romney's convoluted elitist thinking?

Obviously Barack Obama was right in criticizing Mitt Romney's stewardship of Bain Capital. How else to evaluate the business experience that Romney has made a central tenet of his campaign?

The message from the Bain flap is a simple one for Obama: stay on message. Run on your record.

Without anyone really noticing, America is being treated to a relatively fair-minded campaign. Both sides are behaving well. This is why what Newark Mayor Cory Booker said last Sunday made no sense.

Bain Capital and JPMorgan are parts of the same problem -- a particular kind of capitalism that uses other peoples' money to make big bets which, if they go wrong, can wreak havoc on the economy. The president should be leading the charge against both.

In order to understand Romney's reliance on his Bain Capital experience, one must also gain an understanding about how private equity works, the prevailing general ignorance about which has, thus far, benefitted the Romney campaign.
Mike Lux | Posted 05.22.2012
This debate about Bain Capital is one we need to have. What kind of business activity, and what kind of government policy, is better for America? Republicans, you better batten down the hatches, because we are going to have this debate.

Mitt Romney's running for president on one central campaign theme: that he's the savvy business guy whose tenure at private equity firm Bain Capital in the 1980's and 90's has made him a job-creator while President Obama is a job-cutter.

It's sad that a political leader as accomplished as Cory, who has been as successful as he at reviving a city, should be hit by the left for criticizing the Obama campaign, and by the right for later defending the campaign. Does politics mean never speaking your mind or living by your values?
