Dem aide on Bain: If Romney wasn't in charge, who was?

(CBS News) The debate over when Mitt Romney left Bain Capital continued Sunday morning, as a campaign aide to President Obama hammered on the issue despite the Romney campaign's attempt to move beyond the discussion and focus on the economy.

The debate intensified this past week after media reports revealed that Romney maintained the title of "sole shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and President" of Bain Capital after 1999, when he said he left the firm to run the Salt Lake City Olympics. Obama spokesperson Stephanie Cutter said Romney's departure date matters, because his experience at Bain is "his sole rationale for being president."

"If you're signing an SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] document with your own signature that you're the president, C.E.O., chairman of the board and 100 percent owner of a company, in what world are you living in that you're not in charge?" Cutter said Sunday on "Face the Nation."

"If he wasn't the head of it, who was?" she asked.
