BIDEN Uses TAIBBI To Gut Mitt: 'Romney Willing To Go To Extremes To Secure FEDERAL Bailout For Bain'

“Combined, the auto companies have committed to invest billions in expansion," Biden said. But, hitting at Romney's former firm, it's "What they didn't tell you -- it's not the Bain way -- not in Mexico, not in China, not in Vietnam, but in Lordstown, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland. Made in America."

.........................

While Biden spent much of his speech hitting Ryan, he also attacked the Republican presidential candidate head on, citing a Rolling Stone report from earlier this week that said "Romney was willing to go to extremes to secure a federal bailout" for Bain and Company (the consulting firm) which ultimately totaled $10 million.

[font color=red]“You know, he is absolutely against the federal government or any government using funds to save jobs, to save industries,"[/font] Biden said, before accusing Romney of hypocrisy. "He says it’s bad for business except when it comes to his business.... It was one thing when a million middle class jobs were on the line. It was another when his own financial interests and those of his partners were on the line."
