WASHINGTON — Add another document to the pile of evidence contradicting Mitt Romney’s continued insistence that he ended his active role with Bain Capital in early 1999, part of his long-running effort to avoid responsibility for the company’s activity, related to outsourcing and bankruptcies, during the years that followed.
A corporate document filed with the state of Massachusetts in December 2002 — a month after Romney was elected governor — lists him as one of two managing members of Bain Capital Investors, LLC “authorized to execute, acknowledge, deliver and record any recordable instrument purporting to affect an interest in real property, whether to be recorded with a Registry of Deeds or with a District Office of the Land Court.”
In August 2011, Romney told federal authorities, as part of the financial disclosure process, that he “retired from Bain Capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake Organizing Committee . Since February 11, 1999, Mr. Romney has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way.” Bain Capital Investors is a Bain Capital entity.

Bloomberg Businessweek’s Mormon moment fail
Posted by Sarah Pulliam Bailey
am certainly not the first to note this, so let’s all say this together: What were the editors at Bloomberg Businessweek thinking? Basically, its cover story about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ finances could offend just about anyone who practices just about any kind of faith.
As Daniel Burke from Religion News Service reports:
A lengthy story in Bloomberg Businessweek that hits newsstands on Friday details The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ vast financial holdings, from a $2 billion mall in Salt Lake City to a $1 billion ranch in Florida.
Reaction to the magazine’s cover has overshadowed the article, however. The illustration satirizes the moment when Mormons believe John the Baptist bestowed the priesthood on Joseph Smith, the faith’s founding prophet.
In the parody, John the Baptist tells Smith, “and thou shalt build a shopping mall, own stock in Burger King, and open a Polynesian theme park in Hawaii that shall be largely exempt from the frustrations of tax …” Smith answers, “Hallelujah.”

Mitt Romney Demands President Obama Apologize for Telling the Truth
TPV-Deaniac
I literally thought it was a headline in The Onion when I read that Mitt Romney is demanding President Obama apologize for using Bain’s own SEC filings to prove Mitt Romney a liar. Say what? I mean I know that Romney’s party lives on opposite planet most days, but this is absurd by even whackjob standards. Let’s get some facts straight:
•Mitt Romney told everyone that he “left” Bain in February of 1999 and has had nothing to do with them since.
•SEC filings turned up showing Mitt Romney listed as Bain’s President, CEO and Chairman of the Board as well as … you know… sole owner through 2002. Oh, and he was drawing a salary at least in the six figures during this time.
•President Obama’s campaign points that out and relies on the simple concept that if you’re listed with all those titles, and paid for your service, you must have (and take) responsibility.
•Instead of apologizing for lying to the American people (or, in the alternative, filing a deceptive SEC report), Mitt Romney turns around and demands that President Obama apologize for telling the truth.
