Question:
Why does FactCheck.org claim Obama's attacks on Mitt Romney time at Bain Capital "Weak, False, non-Existent"?

Obama accuses Romney in a series of TV ads of being a “corporate raider” who “shipped jobs to China and Mexico,” asking if voters want to elect an “outsourcer in chief.” But some of the claims in the ads are untrue, and others are thinly supported.

For a full account of the Obama campaign’s evidence, which we find to be weak or non-existent, please see “FactCheck.org to Obama Campaign: Your Complaint is All Wet”

Obama will have to change his rhetoric but then again, he has been spewing forth the same idiocy since his campaign started he actually started to believe it.



I think it was Lenin who said something to the effect that a lie told often enough becomes a form of truth.



In the minds of some apparently.

That might change. FactCheck.org rightfully points out that the Obama campaign had provided no evidence to back up their claims. But the news today may have changed that. Romney claims that he was not running Bain after 1999 when they started outsourcing many many jobs. But it turns out that Bain filed documents with the SEC stating that Romney was managing director through 2001. This could turn very serious. If Romney was in control of Bain after 1999, then the claims made by Obama are correct: he did oversee outsourcing and he lied about it. If on the other hand, the Romney campaign is correct that he was gone in 1999, then Romney may be guilty of a felony for being involved with submitting false documents to the SEC. It is best to wait until this is sorted out before claiming to know who is lying here. This is a serious factual conflict between the Romney campaign and Bain documents.

Bain is refusing to comment on the new story that Romney was involved with Bain right up to 2002, nothing to do with the Obama ad, is it also untrue that apart from 2010 that Romney has not disclosed his tax returns!!!....what is he afraid of exactly???

Based on your link I will begrudgingly admit that you are correct.



Fun Fact - Your link also states the following



> Obamacare will reduce the deficit by $210 billion over the next ten years

> Obamacare will result in net job gains
