Great points! Its interesting to contrast Obama's attacks on Romney's Private Equity career with his own experience with Solyndra - Public equity from Obama was wasted on that company. I'd rather see private equity partners lose their own money on a bad investment than the public, who lost millions in this case.

Sure, Obama can say that Romney is not a good businessman or the businessman that this country needs, but Obama doesn't dare look in the mirror.
