Romney: Why is Obama attacking capitalism?
posted at 12:01 pm on May 24, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
In other words, “Hey, let’s keep talking about Bain Capital!” Mitt Romney proudly rolled out Bain’s investment history, in which their businesses succeeded in boosting profit and viability in 80% of the cases — keeping in mind that private-equity firms and especially Bain tend to focus on already-troubled firms. Only 5% of their bets resulted in bankruptcy later, which is a rather remarkable record for a private-equity firm. In attacking that kind of success, Romney argued on Fox News this morning, Barack Obama has resorted to nothing less than an attack on capitalism itself:
“With regards to Bain Capital, they just put a report out about their record, the Bain Capital guys did, they noted they’ve made about 350 investments since the beginning on the firm, and of those investments, about 80 percent grew their revenues. So I’m pretty confident that the overall record of the enterprise I helped begin is pretty solid,” Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, told Fox News.
In his comments, Romney was responding to three central criticisms forwarded by the Obama campaign this week: that Romney’s venture capital firm Bain Capital had exploited companies for the economic gain of executives, that Romney was advocating failed Bush-era economic policies, and that Romney had equated productivity with personal income to suggest Americans weren’t working hard enough.
The presumptive Republican nominee added that it “certainly sounds like” the president was attacking the free market system.
“There’s no question but that he’s attacking capitalism, in part I think because he doesn’t understand how the free economy works. He’s never had a job in the free economy, neither has Vice President Biden,” Romney said.
The best moment in this clip comes at the 20-second mark in the above clip, when Romney scoffs at Obama’s understanding of “productivity” in the economy. Romney pronounces himself “amazed” at Obama’s ignorance on the topic after more than three years as President, and then patiently explains exactly what it means and why it matters. It recalls Obama’s proclamation in 2009 about P/E ratios as “profits and earning ratios,” when in fact profits and earnings are the same thing, and P/E stands for price to earnings ratio, a measure of stock values.
Watch the full clip, though, because Fox and Friends also asks Romney about his pivot to education today:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney opened a new front on Wednesday in his fight against President Barack Obama, accusing him of presiding over a failing U.S. education system in the grip of union bosses who refuse to accept reforms.
In a rare diversion from his campaign focus on the weak economy, Romney laid out an education plan in a speech that represented his most overt appeal to date to Hispanic voters who have largely sided with the Democratic incumbent.
Although he trails Obama by a huge margin among Hispanics, Romney’s address to a Hispanic business group avoided mentioning a top priority for them: how to overhaul the country’s immigration system.
Romney said millions of American children are getting a “third-world education” and offered proposals that he said would reward teachers for their results instead of their seniority. And he would give parents greater choice of where to send their children to school and take other steps to reduce the influence of powerful teachers’ unions.
This is a smart strategy to use for Hispanic voters, many of whom have children locked into failing schools. It offers a reason to consider the Republican Party and its national ticket while bolstering his standing among conservatives in the party.
Update: In answer to the question in the headline, Andrew Kaczynski produces a flier from an Obama appearance at a socialist rally in 1996, when Obama ran for the state legislature.

This technique is a straw. You know, find anything the other side did wrong (even if they didn’t) to give your minions some cover. well..look! They had that fact all wrong! Well, they are messed up!
Now let us get to important things like all the jobs we don’t have. I wonder how many blacks at his speech know what a putz this man has been for them.

It seems as if the trolls have gone to ground after this last week. I guess they are hoping the Sunday chat factory will give them enough coverage that they can again assert that right-wing victims of the IRS are just being oversensitive.
My take, for what it is worth. The left’s attack on tax exempt status was a huge blow for the leftists. Nothing hits home more than taxes and when you have an ideologically driven IRS that is punishing some groups and rewarding others for their views- not even a troll can call that fair or is willing to defend it.

” As NewsBusters reported two weeks ago, CBS’s Bob Schieffer is fed up with the White House’s talking points concerning what happened at our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last September.
His impatience continued on Sunday’s Face the Nation when Obama senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer gave stock answers to questions about the three crises facing the President leading Schieffer to first accuse his guest of taking “exactly the approach that the Nixon administration took” and finally scolding him by asking, “Why are you here today? Why isn’t the White House Chief of Staff here to tell us what happened?”

Same reason Rice went on the Sunday TV circuit re Benghazi instead of Billary?
petefrt on May 19, 2013 at 5:30 PM
Heh…Very Old Bob scores…
“After Pfeiffer continued with evasive talking points, Schieffer again scolded:
SCHIEFFER: But Mr. Pfeiffer, and I don’t mean to be argumentative here, but the President is in charge of the executive branch of the government. It’s my, I’ll just make this as an assertion: when the executive branch does things right, there doesn’t seem to be any hesitancy of the White House to take credit for that. When Osama bin Laden was killed, the President didn’t waste any time getting out there and telling people about it.
But with all of these things, when these things happen, you seem to send out officials many times who don’t even seem to know what has happened. And I use as an example of that Susan Rice who had no connection whatsoever to the events that took place in Benghazi, and yet she was sent out, appeared on this broadcast, and other Sunday broadcasts, five days after it happens, and I’m not here to get in an argument with you about who changed which word in the talking points and all that. The bottom line is what she told the American people that day bore no resemblance to what had happened on the ground in an incident where four Americans were killed.
Pfeiffer once again stuck with the Administration line leading Schieffer to further push back:
But what I’m saying to you is that was just PR. That was just a PR plan to send out somebody who didn’t know anything about what had happened. Why did you do that? Why didn’t the Secretary of State come and tell us what they knew and if he knew nothing say, “We don’t know yet?” Why didn’t the White House Chief of Staff come out? I mean I would, and I mean this as no disrespect to you, why are you here today? Why isn’t the White House Chief of Staff here to tell us what happened?

The WH can quickly discredit them, then.
All they have to do is release all 25,000 or so e-mails relating to Benghazi and you will have your proof right out in the open.

I’m more than willing to wait for those to be released.

No one in Congress had the emails nor could they have ‘doctored’ them. The White House permitted members of various Congressional committee to review the emails.
If anyone had had the emails, there would have been NO reason for people like David Axelrod to call for their release.
BOTTOM LINE:
Hillary Clinton was told at 8:00 PM on 09.11.12 by those on the ground that there had never been a protest about ANYTHING and the attack was a terrorist attack.
Both The CIA station chief in Libya and Beth Jones, acting assistant secretary for Near Eastern affairs at the State Department, said on 09.12.12 that it WAS a terrorist attack by AQ, the AQ-affiliated group, Ansar al-Sharia, and that no video protest occurred whatsoever.
09.12.12 @04:07 (09.11.12 @10:07 PM EST): Secretary Clinton issued a statement acknowledging the death of one State Dept. officer, Sean Smith, and blames Internet video for violence. It included:
09.13.12: Carney blamed Internet video for violence.
09.14.12: Carney: No advance warning of attack. No evidence that the attack was preplanned.
Lie. They were warned by the Libyan mission, Ambassador Stevens, and the CIA.
09.15.12: Obama blames video for violence in his weekly radio address.
09.16.12: Ambassador Susan Rice appears on 5 Sunday news shows and blames the video. One example from ABC News’ ‘This Week With George Stephanopoulis’:
Lie.
On Face the Nation:
Lie. Yes, they did.
09.18.12: Carney again blames video for violence.
Untrue.
09.20.12: Obama again blames video for violence at townhall event broadcast on Univision:
09.21 .12: Obama and Clinton appear in ads on Pakistani television condemning the YouTube video at a cost of $70,000.
09.24.12: On ‘The View,’ Obama says investigation ongoing, again blames video.
09.25.12: Obama speech to UN blames video, refers to video 6 times, terror only once relative to Iran.
10.18.12: Obama:
Lie.
11.28.12: Carney says that the ONLY change that the White House and State Department made to talking points was to change ‘consulate’ to ‘diplomatic mission.”
Lie.

gophergirl on May 19, 2013 at 5:53 PM
I have no known party.
I have floated no conspiracy theories.
I have grave suspicions about what went on in Benghazi based upon personnel, weapons gone missing, weapons transfers, Amb. Stevens’ foreign contacts, and the relatively low key CIA and MI-6 operations that were going on there at the time. There is much that cannot be explained and those e-mails play only a part in filling in the picture.
Human nature puts the WH in a defensive position to put out anything exonerating first so as to try and minimize the scandal. Less than 100 e-mails does not explain the problems in any of the time lines floated by the WH as they do not correspond with events on the ground as reported by multiple sources at the time and since then.
You may believe as you will.
I will wait for facts and examine the time line on my own and see if it makes any sense to me in any context partisan or non-partisan. Often no single party holds the actual information as to what exactly happened, and the picture must be built up from multiple sources and deconflicted. That takes time and until a much larger set of e-mails the WH is only prolonging the inevitable. The WH would look much, much better now to just release the mass of e-mails and say that they are what they are.
If you are right that would show up partisan hacks in clear and stark light.
If I am right it will paint a much more complete picture of the time line of events and sort out what happened, why it happened and how it transpired beyond the attack event and give broader insight into the affairs of Libya and the Middle East. I don’t want any Administration to EVER make this sort of mistake again as it costs lives of good people. I am sorry all you can do is attack others even those just willing to wait to see what the truth actually is without the need for belief.

I honestly think it’s too stupid to even know what a subpoena is.

These things don’t believe in laws or history.
Only their god Obama.

You’re such a little fascist, princess.
