Well, Mitt's talking about Bain now, to a conservative blogger in an interview. Still avoiding the media, though.
The most recent attacks are really off target and I think they know. They said, oh, gosh, Gov. Romney at Bain Capital closed down a steel factory. But the problem, of course, is that the steel factory closed down two years after I left Bain Capital. I was no longer there. So that’s hardly something that was done on my watch. And of course they don’t mention a couple of other things. One is that we were able to help create over 100,000 jobs and secondly, on the president’s watch, about 100,000 jobs were lost in the auto industry, in auto dealers and auto manufacturers. So, you know, he’s hardly one to point a finger. Oh, and by the way, he has no problem going out and doing fundraisers with Bain Capital and private equity people …
As a matter of fact, [Bain and the Blackstone Group, where the president is raising money for Obama] have made investments together over our history. I have respect for them and much of the work that they do. And you know, I think the president is just misguided in his effort to try and divide Americans from one another, to try and disparage one part of economy from another or one person from another. That’s really not what America is. If there are bad actors, why, you know, that needs to be pointed out. But that’s certainly not the case for a whole industry.

Interesting.
Let's see.
He lies about 100,000 jobs created. He never has provided any backup for that claim. Ran away from it when Newt hit him hard on it.
He claims that Obama raises money from private equity, so Obama is as guilty as Romney by association, except Romney is not guilty.
He claims that Obma killed jobs with the auto industry bailout, even though Romney last week claimed credit for the bailout (after opposing it at the time) and though Obama saved jobs (and made no money doing it) while Romney killed jobs for his own profit for his entire career.
And he goes back to the divider bullshit. Ain't. Gonna. Work.
Keep hitting Romney on Bain. It's one of his glass chins.
