"Supplemented by a dozen interviews – from local real estate experts to private equity partners – we get a detailed look at the current state of Mitt’s money, pinpointing his net worth at $230 million, split between 9 different asset classes." -From Forbes.

Guy ought to be in prison he is so bad at investing, leaving out all his other crimes. He somehow (according to the Obama campaign) made over $730MM in PROFIT from just 8 deals and is only worth $230MM.

OK

You do realize that Bain was an investment group and all that profit from all deals didn't go only to Mittens?

Perhaps phrasing it that way in the commercials might be honest. Instead of Mitt Romney profited an average of 92 million per deal.

Face it, that team is scum.

You are unable to understand that Bain Capital was an investment firm, and thus the money made from "deals" didn't all go only to Romney?

I do understand that completely.
There are a lot of people out there that are less educated than myself that will be voting. If I say to someone "I made $XXX,000 last year" do they think it means me or my company?
Why say Romney profited? Why not Bain?
Because one people understand and the other is complicated and the uneducated masses that hate "rich white guys" will run to the polls so their companies aren't folded in the constant chasing of cash that is Mitt Romney. The man will kill just to make a buck.

He really should be in prison.

Ah. Yes. The inevitable victimhood of the rich white guy at the hands of the envious "uneducated masses".

You actually do not think that is who the ad panders to? I have given you way too much credit.
