Sadly going to miss this one.

I hear Obama is supposed to bring back the Bain Capital arguement. Seems like a mistake considering how even moderate democrats made their distance last time he did that.

Just shows how worried the Obama campaign suddenly is.

Nah...Bain Capital is moving Sensa Tech jobs from the US to China.  In fact, Bain forced the factory to take down the US flag and fly the Chinese flag, as well as force the employees to train their Chinese counterparts.

The company has been profitable, in fact posting record profits last year.  Yet it isn't enough money for Bain Capital.

Worse, when employees from Sensa Tech went to talk to Mitt Romney about it, his campaign had the people arrested. 

I don't think it's a bad thing for Obama to bring up.  While Romney isn't head of Bain now, it illustrates the company he worked for and what he did while he worked for them.  It also illustrates how much Romney is willing to hear out people negatively impacted by the loss of their jobs (they will technically lose their jobs the day before the election).  If you aren't willing to give a few people a moment of your time just to hear them out and listen to them, than how are you going to do it as a president?  Gone are the days of the compassionate conservative.

wow, that is quite the example there, also quite the misinformation.  

First of all, how does what Bain does now have anything to do with Romney?  He left the company 12 years ago.  That is a long time, and it is ridiculous to attack Romney on something that he has nothing to do with.

Second of all, the protesters were not arrested for trying to talk to Romney, they were arrested for stopping a truck from leaving the plant in illinois.  How you combined those arrests with Romney are beyond me.

Thirdly, Obama is probably in a much better position to do something about this then Romney.  Since Sensata's biggest client is GM which the government owns a large part of.  If Obama really cared, he could have stopped this action through GM, but he didn't do anything.  

So, much like all the other Bain attacks I have seen, this example cherry picks a single case.  This time it doesn't even have anything to do with Romney.  How can you cherry pick one case and say, "this is what Bain does" while ignoring the fact that Bain has helped the majority of the companies it invests in recover and grow?  

I'm not a Romney or an Obama supporter here, however the Bain attacks are garbage and should be tossed out as such.  Focus on Romney's record as governor or his plans for the presidency.  There is plenty of ammunition there.
