Comments about ‘President Obama says he won't apologize to Mitt Romney’

It's sad that we try to teach our children not to put other people down and resort to name calling in elementary school but this is the example they have in leadership.

I don't understand why anyone thinks President Obama should apologize for telling the truth about Mitt's dealings. Mitt should apologize for not being truthful about them.

Obama is an absolute embarrassment to the Office of President and the citizens of the United States. He is only concerned about his own legacy and nothing else. He will say or do practically anything to get reelected.

There is no apology necessary. Rmoney has based his whole campaign on his tenure at Bain Capitol, but then tries to hide the more unsavory aspects of the business. He is the one who should be apologizing to the American people for playing this ridiculous shell game of "look how great i am but don't look too close".

If Romney was in fact the sole owner of Bain during the period in question, it strains credulity to think that he had no role in managing or influencing his multi-million dollar investment in that company. If he truly played no role, I would question his business judgment in paying so little attention to his own investment.

I would like to see Mr. Romney's phone, e-mail, and travel records while he was in charge of the Olympics. I suspect we would find a lot of calls to and from Bain, and a lot of trips to Bain's headquarters. But of course he will not release those records any more than he will release his tax returns, which leaves the strong impression that he has something to hide.

Mr. Obama claims to be Mr. Transparency so voters want to know why the white house hides so much stuff and why it concerned about Romney's dealings when the president appoints several tax evaders to his cabinet. Voters want to know who was in charge of fast and furious and why exectutive privledge was evoked. Voters want to know why so many green companies are bankrupt after getting millions if not billions in bailouts? Voters want to know why so much tax money is being spent on foreign companies to help them espcecially Venezuala?

What the answer Mr. Transparency? By the way, the Obama allegations have been factuallyt shown to be a lie. What's worse is the O camp knows it but is just shrugging their shoulders. I think the Dems need to be the morality police with their own party first instead of showing selective outrage.

Obama has added five and a half trillion dollars to the debt. That's about twenty thousand for every American citizen, and is enough to purchase health insurance for us all.

Obama has wasted hundreds of millions on Solyndra, and vacations which he probably didn't pay taxes on.

Add billions of dollars given to Finland and Mexico to build auto plants, and billions to Brazil for oil drilling.

Instead of focusing on Bain, he needs to apologize for his weak decisions, and incompetency.

Also, Obama's camp needs to stop telling lies and then baiting Romney to put all his records out to prove them wrong. In others, they don't have anything on him so they are hoping to shame him or publically pressure him to give them something more (which he is not required to do).

Obama can't run on his record, so he has to run on lies.

The right wing spin machine lies about Obama every day. Do they apologize?
The President hasn't said anything that wasn't true. What is there to apologize for?

What is the truth Furry? Is truth only in the eye of the beholder?

But before you respond, please take some time and go read what non-partisan FactCheck dot org, published 12 Jul 2012, titled "Romney's Bain Years: New Evidence, Same Conclusion." The Washington Post [their Fact Checker column], the Columbia Journalism Review, and ABC News are all in agreement with FactCheck's assessment.

Based upon reviewed Bain offering documents [published by Fortune Magazine] after Romney's departure in February 1999, their conclusion is, "Mitt Romney did not manage Bain Capital's investments after leaving to run the Salt Lake City Olympic Games despite what the Obama campaign (and some news reports) would have voters believe."

Good for you President Obama!
Hold your ground, make Willard Romney prove himself right!

" 'He actually retired retroactively at that point,' Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said."

The time machine defense. How apt considering that comic con is going on over the weekend.

Organizations that claim Mitt Romney is telling the truth in the matter:
CNN, FactCheck dot org, Washington Post, Fortune, Obama supporters who have firsthand knowledge of what happened at Bain

Organizations that claim President Obama is telling the truth in the matter:
Obama campaign, Obama supporters who lack firsthand knowledge of what happened at Bain

Hmmm...which group should I believe?

Anyone know who is in charge at "Fact Check"?
Someone is not thorough in the investigation of Mitt's paper trail.

Unless Romney starts going on the offensive and quit being constantly on the defensive, he might as well quit now. Did he really think he could coast to the top and did he really think Obama would apologize?

Isn't it interesting that Jamie Dimon, supporter and pal of President Obama is not considered a lesser America when he ships thousand s of jobs overseas financed by American consumers, but Romney's Bain company, after he left, shipped jobs overseas and is the lowest of humanity. Explain that Mr. President! Oh yeah. Jamie Dimon donates money to the President and Romney doesn't. I get it now. What I don't understand is why the Republicans want Jamie to get big tax breaks, and why the Democrats say they want to repeal his tax breaks but don't get it done. Follow the $$$. Are there any among them who are honest?

Romney has no good options here. Either he was CEO of Bain and got paid to send jobs overseas and companies into bankruptcy, or he was CEO of Bain and he got paid to do nothing while Bain sent jobs overseas and companies into bankruptcy. You can't have it both ways.

His calls for apologies from the president drip with desperation. Either he's got something to hide and the President is right, or he's got nothing to hide but he's hiding it anyway.

Obama got healthcare reform, killed bin Laden, and went from -700,000 jobs a month to +100,000 a month. Romney got -- well, we don't know what, because he won't tell us.

Obama seems allergic to the truth, and has for the last three years repeatedly acted opposite his stated intentions too many times to be counted.

Obama cannot run on his record, so he and his surrogates are throwing mud and making outrageous charges to deflect attention from their sorry failure to improve conditions in our country, except for a handful or Obama's Chicago pals, union cronies and unsuccessful environmental extremists.

At this point, I don't care what Romeny ran, or when he ran it. He, or my dog, could do a better job than Obama, so we need to get Obama out of office before he finished destroying our economy and our nation.

Sorry, but the only people claiming that Romney has been "cleared" are conservative apologists (And, yes, the "liberal" media has plenty of those.) At best, Romney is coming across as whiny and petulant. At worst, he's shady, secretive, and downright dishonest.

Why won't he release his tax returns? What is he hiding? He's just digging himself in deeper, and it isn't going to just go away...

So many of Obama's supporters from BIll Clinton on have endorsed private equity and even Romney's past business success that it seems the president has taken this far enough. The president hates private equity and all it stands for - economic success without a government subsidy. Romney's criticism has been of Obama's current job and that performance has not been anything to brag about.
