The Bain of Obama - 7/18/2012 8:58:15 AM

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.

OOPS

Oh what ignorant asswipe being paraded around here today.

Lavine was at Bain from 93-97 and left before Mitt didn't.

Oh the weeping and gnashing of teeth from the desperate lies of teabaggers and neo-cons.

Stay tuned for the November Slaughter (another one of their factless jingos)

OOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPSSSSSS

Lavine started working for Bain in 1993. He was one of three Bain executives who served on the board of directors of Ampad for several years, a post he held until 1999. Here’s a news release announcing his departure from the company in April 1999.

Bloomberg has him there at Bain 93-97 (in actual there), so was Ampad a company Bain invested in, and that put him on the board honchoing it for Bain or is Bain one of those places where nobody knows when you come and go?

Ahhhhhhhh----

It`s like the moth to the flame with some of them.....

We could save a lot of energy if we make up and give them "kick me" signs, with some tape.

Only McCain has seen Romney's taxes. And the moment he did, he made Sarah Palin his VP choice.

Does it matter? Isn't there a saying about a Goose and a Gander? How many Obama records has Obama had sealed? Sorry, Mitt provided all that he needed to run for President... I hope he keeps telling you progressives fuck you... It's not like any of you were going to vote for him anyway.

Uhmmmmmmmmmm on which planet do you live/????????? Every major news organization in the US (not to mention even the BBC which is in the UK) has shown the filings. Even Faux *cough* sorry Fox News. His lawyer just said the other day that he came back for board meetings. His deposition when he was running for governor said he was involved in meetings - he needed to say that because if he wasn't he couldn't have proven residency in Mass. Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even live in the US and I have full coverage of Bain from at least 8 news organizations from liberal to conservative. The SEC filings are not the thing to try to knock down. Just stick to they were in a legal process to get the President, CEO and Managing Director post changed over those years. Yeah! Go with that.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/13/mitt-romney-bain-sec_n_1671819.html

For instance, in April 1999, Romney signed documents related to a Bain deal with Pirod Holdings.

In November of that year, his signature appears on documents connected to a deal with Stericycle.

In January 2000, he signed paperwork for a deal with VMM Merger Corp.

His John Hancock appears on ChipPAC Inc. documents in February 2001.

That same month, Romney's signature can be found on paperwork connected to a Bain deal with Integrated Circuit Systems Inc.

In February 2000, he signed documents related to a deal with Wesley Jessen Visioncare Inc.

Link to the 2000 document

Romney later said that he became too busy organizing the Winter Olympics and couldn't fulfill even the basic responsibilities he had outlined to the Herald. Yet in a 2002 hearing in a dispute over whether he was a Massachusetts resident eligible to run for governor, he testified that he still attended board meetings for at least one Bain-affiliated company.

Also in that hearing, he claimed to have taken a temporary leave of absence from Bain to helm the Salt Lake City Olympics.

As part of running for governor, Romney was required to submit personal financial disclosure statements to Massachusetts' State Ethics Commission under threat of perjury. In his 2001 disclosure statement, he listed himself as "Former Executive" for both Bain Capital Inc. and Bain Capital LLC, with a gross income of more than $100,000. But in his 2002 disclosure statement, he provided a different answer, listing himself as "Executive" of Bain Capital Inc. and Bain Capital LLC, with a gross income of more than $100,000. The latter may be one instance in which Romney and the SEC filings agree on his role.
