The Obama campaign has been targeting Romney viciously and unfairly over the last few weeks over his business career. Should I point out that Obama was a lawyer, which are much more disdained than businessmen? We'll leave that for another time.
What Obama is doing is exactly the thing that fires up the crazy "birthers" and the claims that he is a socialist or a communist.
He is attacking capitalism. He is attacking business. Business is capitalism. AMERICA is a capitalistic society. Remember, just over 20 short years ago, we would have had a nuclear war to prevent (or attempt to prevent) the loss of our capitalistic society. Now, we have a President who is blatantly and immorally attacking capitalism, capitalistic careers, ideas, ect.
Then you wonder why the crazies begin to call him a communist or socialist.
Obama was a constitutional law professor at Harvard. Romney's entire reason for being president is his work at Bain. This is a legitimit attack on Romney's record that he loves promoting. If he was running as Governor of Massachussets and Obama attacked his record there, would it be an attack on the entire state government? If he attacked him as head of the Olympics, would he be attacking the all the Olympic Games of the past? Obama attacking Romney while at Bain is just that, an attack on Romney's Baim record. Not an attack on capitalism collectively.
