A 22% failure rate = 78% success rate which is very commendable
385 jobs lost at American Pad & Paper; 1,900 cuts or relocations at Dade International; more than 2,100 workers laid off from DDI Corp.; 2,500 cuts at Clear Channel Communications; and 3,400 at KB Toys.
That's peanuts. Jobs of the successful companies: Staples which had 89,000 employees as of Dec. 31, 2010; Sports Authority, which had 15,000 employees as of July 2011; and Domino’s Pizza, which has added 7,900 jobs since 1999.
@john48martin <".. straps his dog on top of the car and heads to the next company ..."
I totally lol'd over that line. When I say, "out loud," I mean "scared my dog" loud. All these people who want Mr Electability better understand what The Left is going to do to this guy.
At least they were consistent. You know, criticizing all the anti-Newt negative ads.
King Rich Man Mitt will hurt as many poor people as he can. The only thing he as done good was Rommey care for people in Mass. And Rommey Care is the same as Obama's Affordable care act. Rommey was a one time governor of Mass, and he supported same sex marriage, a woman right to choose, and many liberal ideals. He flip flops all over the place. Let the tea bagger vote him into offiice and he will get rid of Obama Care and Keep Rommey care for people in boston and they love it.
@nashro1 the whole story is Romney is a vulture capitalist. go watch Pretty woman or Wall Street. Greed is good. Who in the hell wants one of these people as President of the United States?
@Snoovesify so how did Romney make a billion dollars buying up companies "on the brink of liquidation and firing everyone? At least in Pretty Woman, the Richard Gere character had a change of black heart. Not Romney, hell no, he straps his dog on top of the car and heads to the next company he can destroy and make another million. Are you a wall street vulture?
This is the biggest load of crap ever created for political gain!! Bain's (and thousands of restructuring professionals) focus on businesses on the brink of liquidation because they we're no longer competitive due to out of control employee costs or industry declines...think "buggy whips" and "paper manf"...If not for Bain, companies would have liquidated or consolidated. Heartbreaking for the employees, but to blame the acquirer is like blaming an umbrella manufacturer for a bad rain storm!!
@Natemesis your excuses for him are moot at this point

"King of Bain" presents four case studies of plants or companies shut by Romney and Bain, but three of the closures happened after he left.
