Romney Fires Back on Bain

Says Obama campaign is reckless.

Play nice, boys. Earlier today Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused President Obama of undignified campaign tactics, when Obama claimed that Romney gave false information to skew perceptions of his record as chief executive of Bain, a private equity firm in Boston. The candidate spoke out during interviews with several major news stations. “Is this the level that the Obama campaign is willing to stoop to?” Romney asked on CNN. Romney’s aggressive approach came after the president’s deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, made a statement Thursday, claiming Romney might have broken a law by telling the Securities and Exchange Commission that he was Bain’s sole owner. He also stated that he was the board chairman, chief executive, and president at a time when he now says he no longer held any position with the firm.
