Uh Oops? 

So the meme has been Romney is evil because when he ran Bain Capital the steel industry was devastated with layoffs and the movement of steel production overseas.  The fact that the unions overpriced labor costs along with gubbermint over regulation made foreign production a necessity is lost on Democrats.  However, once again, when one looks at those pesky FACTS....all is not as it seems. 


The Obama campaign blamed Governor Mitt Romney for the demise of GST Steel company in a video they released in May. The plant closed in 2001. Mitt left Bain in 1999.

For some reason the Obama camp forgot to mention that Obama’s top bundler Jonathan Lavine was in charge of Bain during the BST layoffs.


…One of Obama’s top campaign financiers – Jonathan Lavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, according to estimates released by the Obama campaign.
