how many troubled companies did Bain help during Romney's tenure?
How much taxpayer money was spent by Bain on troubled companies during Romney's tenure?
How much private investor money was spent by Bain on troubled companies during Romney's tenure?
How many jobs were saved or created during Romney's tenure at Bain?
How many jobs were lost during Romney's tenure at Bain?
How many companies failed and succeeded during Romney's tenure at Bain?
How much profit did Bain make for private investors during Romney's tenure?
Same questions as above only substitute "Obama Administration" for "Bain" and "Obama" for "Romney"
Well...if the past is fair game.

...and they used to call Rush's listeners "mind-numbed robots". MSNBC is like Obama's genie. Granted, a crappy genie, but still, his wish is their command.

No one watches msdnc. They are busy watching Fox where millions tune in every night to get the news and talk. The 2 or 3 watching the radicals, would vote for BHO no matter what is said. Can one imagine spending an hour listening to any of these BO campaigners?
Well according to rasmussen

Well according to rasmussen only 30% think that The "Bain" distraction is relevant to this campaign. That would be his base, the same people that watch msnbc. Independents solidly believe Bain to be a strength of Romney. This is a major blunder for the Obama campaign. I think they really thought this would be a central tenet of their reelection campaign and they must be in panic mode as it has flopped even faster than their "war on women" strategy. Obama was clearly agitated at his press conference yesterday when a reporter referred to the Bain attacks as a distraction.

I would rather have a guy who can turn failure into gold--than the one who is turning the country into you-know-what.
