Barack Obama’s campaign has been quick to rip Mitt Romney for his association with Bain Capital, which outsourced certain jobs during restructuring of companies. There’s only one problem: many of the very executives who were running Bain Capital during the 1999-2002 period now under media scrutiny donated to Obama’s presidential campaign. And Obama was more than happy to cash the checks.
The same SEC form from February 2001 that lists Mitt Romney as “sole shareholder, sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President of Bain Capital … the controlling person of Bain Capital” also lists over a dozen other managing directors of Bain Capital, Inc. -- all of whom were undoubtedly more active than Romney was during this period. And President Obama took money from many of them.
Take Joshua Bekenstein. Bekenstein has been a managing director of Bain Capital since 1986. In 2008, he signed Barack Obama a $4,600 check. In 2004, he gave a $50,000 donation to the Democratic National Committee. That’s outsourcing money, plain and simple. And Obama was happy to take it.
Or how about Stephen Pagliuca? Last year, he cut a $35,800 check to Barack Obama’s Victory Fund. Then he cut another $30,800 check to the DNC. And another $30,800 check to the DCCC. Jonathan Lavine and Mark Nunnelly have both maxed out to Obama already, as well as to the DNC. Lavin was a bundler for Obama, and raised over $100,000 for him. Michael Krupka gave Obama $4,600 in 2008.
As we’ve seen, the leftist media thinks it’s a disaster if a private citizen, Mitt Romney, made money from an investment company that outsourced jobs to save companies. But the leftist media seems perfectly comfortable with Barack Obama cashing checks from the executives who actually made the decisions to outsource.
The truth is that there’s nothing wrong with a private company outsourcing. Democrats know it. Republicans know it. Everybody knows it. But the Obama campaign is hypocritically pointing to Romney’s pocketbook while zealously guarding its own. Apparently, it's fine to outsource so long as the name on the contribution check reads "Barack Obama."

If that were true, why do Liberal's commit treason, attack businesses and raise taxes and debt every single time they're elected?
Conservative's on the other hand do the exact opposite.
The record's speak for themselves.

That's a gross oversimplification. Clinton (a liberal) deregulated to an extent unseen in years.

Obama and the dem's laughing all the way to the bank. The fact that the media never vetted our "first black President" and continue's to allow all this hypocricy is beyond the pale. The lies and deception's will eventually bite Obama, the democrats AND the liberal media in the arse very soon!

Blame Bain, not Obama. Obama didn't steal it.
Somebody gives you cash, are you going to blame yourself for taking it. Romney takes donations too.

Nothing overly surprising here. The Obama campaign smears Romney over Bain Capital, sure. Remember, this is the same administration that was all for ACORN, until Acorn had served it's purpose. Then the slip and slide began. It is not about to stop. Remember, you are too stupid to take care of yourself. You must let the powers that be do that for you. Do not question what is said to you. You must comply. You will be assimilated. Any questions?

The very liberal New York Times has just reported that there is NO evidence Mitt Romney ran or managed Bain Capital after 1999, and they provide evidence. This destroys the liberal's outsourcing arguments.
