The November presidential campaign took a harsher tone today as the Obama Team released this video about the role of Bain Capital in the loss of steelworkers jobs.
The Christian Science Monitor reports:
Most of the two-minute ad is taken up with the personal tales of veteran GST steelworkers. They accuse Bain of vacuuming as much cash out of the firm as it could, then leaving the company for dead.
“It was like a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us,” says 31-year steelworker Jack Cobb in the Obama spot.
The ad accuses Bain of closing the company pension plan and seeking the elimination of retiree life and health insurance.
Is this fair comment, especially as it appears Mitt Romney had left Bain Capital by the time the steel plant was shut down?
