Obama Bain Attacks Continue

The Boston Globe, which helped get all of this going last week, reports: "Sparring over Bain details continues." And I missed this clip with Charles Krauthammer earlier, but it's excellent:


And here's this morning's editorial at the New York Times, "Mitt Romney’s Complaints":
On Thursday, a Boston Globe article demonstrated Mr. Romney’s continuing ties to Bain through 2002, and Mr. Obama said it raised questions for his opponent. “I think most Americans figure if you are the chairman, C.E.O. and president of a company,” he said, “you are responsible for what that company does.”

Mr. Obama’s campaign aides did go too far, perhaps, in suggesting Mr. Romney may have legal problems over this issue. But Mr. Obama’s criticism is fair. Mr. Romney has persistently refused to tell voters about his finances. Even now it is not clear how much money he has made from Bain in the 13 (or 10) years since he left the company.
Went a little too far? How about jumped the shark, as Krauthammer suggests?
