http://www.buzzfeed.com/nycsouthpaw/mysterious-video-appears-to-show-romneys-privateThe content of what a person who appears to be Mitt Romney appears to say hardly justifies the YouTube user's incendiary headline that "Mitt Romney admits to using Chinese slave labor at Bain." However, if the video is authentic, supporters of President Obama may be able to use the opening line ("95% of life is set up for you if you were born in this country" to defang attacks on the President's now infamous "you didn't build that" gaffe.
Although the account from which the video came is named "Rachel Maddow," the account is not associated with the MSNBC host, per her tweet. The account's actual username is "UCQtzArTiEDsc9Suis47wjtQ" and just joined YouTube today. The video is the only video posted to the account.

But just like many of us can recognize Palin's screeching, migraine inducing cattle cows, we're probably dead on that this is indeed Mitty.
Hope there's an update.
