Obama says no apology due Romney on Bain attacks

(AP) / 15 July 2012

President Barack Obama refused to apologize to Republican challenger Mitt Romney for an aide’s comment last week that false filings to a government regulator could bring a felony charge.

The president issued the refusal in a television interview broadcast Sunday as both political camps kept alive the uproar over Romney’s history as a businessman, the issue that is consuming the race for the White House.

Romney continues to struggle with charges that he remained in control of Bain Capital, the private equity firm he co-founded and the source of his massive fortune, well beyond when he contends he left the company in 1999 to run the Salt Lake City Olympic Games.

Obama spent two days campaigning in tightly contested Virginia last week, reminding voters of the discrepancies between Securities and Exchange Commission filings and Romney’s recollection of his role at Bain Capital. Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, suggested Thursday that Romney might be guilty of a felony for misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC.

Didn't think this would go international this quickly. No, I don't think this story is going to die.

1. He better not apologize, cause there is nothing to apologize for! Romney is an elitist, and

instead of running for President should be sitting at one of his mansions counting his money.
