The Obama administration is trying desperately to PIN THE BAIN ON THE ROMNEY.  This is an act of desperation and is proof positive that the Obama re-election campaign is in deep trouble.  They know that the only chance Obama has at re-election is to stick Romney with approval ratings even lower than Obama’s.  It appears as though they think the Bain Capital story is their best shot.

They have almost given up lying about the positive trends in the economy, because even liberals have trouble buying that nonsense.  The blame Bush strategy has become, well, boring.  For one thing there are these inconvenient pictures of George Bush hugging black kids in Africa, while Obama is living the high life.  Another concern is that Bain Capital actually is a major success story.  Even Bill Clinton admitted that.

Now the allegation is that Romney lied about the extent of his involvement with Bain after he left in 1999. Does anyone really think he had the time to run Bain Capital and the Salt Lake City Olympics at the same time?  Please!   Is this really the best the Obama campaign can offer?  Even the Washington Post is calling this nonsense.  But Obama will continue to beat the Bain drum, because he has nothing else to say.

Donald Trump gave a great response.  He said that Mitt Romney should release his older tax returns right after Obama releases his college transcripts.  But Romney has a better answer:

Romney points out all the coincidences where Obama supporters got all that delicious stimulus money.  Regardless of what Bain Capital did, before or after Romney, Obama may have done much worse.  Obama grew up in Chicago politics, arguably the most politically corrupt part of the country.  Romney is demanding the press look at all those cozy relationships between Obama and his supporters.  This is the never ending story, including the parts where Obama may have steered money to William Ayers.  There is more than a little smoke.

I predict the Obama administration will soon become desperate to prevent the media looking at these deals.   Watch for them to try, again, to play the race card.  But when one’s whole campaign is based on personal attacks, one’s own record becomes fair game.  Romney can afford a PIN THE BAIN ON THE ROMNEY GAME, the question is, can Obama?  Keep in mind that when playing PIN THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY, the least likely result is that you hit the intended target.
