JohnH said... Bain is a very convenient shorthand for "finance" and "kleptocrats." As Robert Reich says, "Mitt Romney is not simply a callous vulture capitalist, he is the living embodiment of the financial catastrophe that brought this country to the edge of ruin."
Short of having Lloyd Blankenfein or Jamie Dimon run for President, there is no better symbol for what ails America...until you realize that President Obama is a pretty good symbol for everything that ails America, too. Where are the prosecutions of banksters, Big Oil, war profiteers, etc?
Either way, we're screwed, which means I'm voting third party to register my discontent.
