Vicious and Idiotic

Quote from PiggyBank:

A conspiracy eh?

Jeremiah Wright is a racist fuck, retard, anti-semite, and anti-american. Tony Rezko is doing time for his scumbaggery. Both of his daddies were Muslims from other countries. Van jones is another racist fuck and commie, These are shady people, it is not an opinion.



.............according to right-wing conspiracy nuts everywhere whose judgement is highly questionable.

Really, the above words speak for themselves. Thanks for showing us an example of a right-wing, conspiracy nut. Try to get a grip. Stop listening to Fox News........ it'll rot your brain.

I have a long way to go to catch up to you, obviously. What exactly is the conspiracy here? These guys are shady at best. Rezko is in jail, what more evidence do you need. Are you saying he isn't buddies with obama? rev wright isn't a racist? I even left Ayers out because it isn't provably clear what obamas relationship is with him.

These associations are clearly more alarming than a 65 year old guy that bullied some kid as a teen. What in my post is wrong?
 
There is not enough information here or in the WSJ report to answer the question of how many take overs were intended to be predatory from the start and how many were intended to be turn-arounds, and the success rate in each of these distinct activities.. In a predatory leveraged buyout a company is taken over merely to raid its assets and leave a bankrupt shell, or one that soon will be. In a non-predatory take over, management changes, assets and lines of credit are preserved, excessive leverage is avoided, operational efficiencies are introduced, and the new management attempts to grow the financial and customer base of the company.

Bain could have been, probably was, involved in both types of take overs. What would be nice to know is whether they ever used illegal activities such as naked shorting to move in on a company.
 
Quote from tomdavis:

All private equity firms have failures. It's the nature of the business because many of these companies are in trouble when they're purchased...
Sure, but there's a pattern among those that failed: buy; slash expenses substantially to give the appearance of sustainable cash flow improvement; take on maximum debt ("look how new & improved we are"); declare dividends large enough to endanger the company's very existence; oh, well. Repeat. To deny this predatory process is to be willfully ignorant. Add to this activity the companies on which Bain actually lost its entire "investment," and you have an outfit that has only itself in mind to the exclusion of all other players, including those ostensibly within its fold, and one that bites off more than it can chew with some regularity. Sure Bain made money, but it played fast and loose. And that's the ethic you want to install into the White House? Your comparing Romney with Buffett is so off the mark it's ridiculous.
 
Obama is a murderer, no jobs for these guys.

Quote from tomdavis:

...To return to the original point: if you want to hold a 45 year-old episode of bad behavior against Romney, that's your choice; but I can't see any logic in the argument.
I only remarked on his consistency over time: drive-by haircuts.

Obama has to kill them. He doesn't want to be seen filling up Gitmo and actually questioning captives for information. He has no place for prisoners. Killing is seen as cleaner and less of a chance to be imbarrasing if something happens in prison.

...
My point was, and is, if you only look at someone's failures you can make a case against anyone. .
So true. Solyndra comes to mind.
