In times of crisis, a strong candidate will come up with answers that satisfy the basic questions surrounding the controversy and will make people want to move on to another subject. Romney, however, could not seem to come up with basic messages that resolved the controversies. Many of his answers seemed evasive or overly legalistic. The biggest problem for Romney is that all of his interviews have only increased the questions that political observers, voters and the media have regarding the subject of Bain Capital.

Mitt Romney's new TV ad says President Obama's attacks on his jobs record have been "misleading, unfair and untrue." The new ad once again uses Hillary Rodham Clinton to make the Romney campaign's point about Obama, showing an image of her from the 2008 Democratic primary saying "shame on you" to her then-rival for distorting her record.

Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus turns the tables on President Obama, charging the Democrat with outsourcing jobs... The RNC is also circulating a Washington Post story out today that reports Obama's critics "primarily on the political left say he has repeatedly failed in other ways to protect American jobs from being moved overseas."

The Washington Post is standing by its reporting on Bain Capital’s outsourcing under Mitt Romney, and will not retract a recent story despite complaints from the Romney campaign.

The attack is the latest iteration of President Obama’s attempts to demonize Mitt Romney over his tenure at Bain Capital.

President Obama ripped Mitt Romney today over a report that the Republican's private equity firm invested in companies that moved jobs out of the United States to low-wage countries. "We do not need an outsourcing pioneer in the Oval Office," Obama said during a fundraising speech in Tampa, Fla. "We need a president who will fight for American jobs."
