We asked people their thoughts on Mitt Romney saying he was retired "retroactively" as CEO of Bain Capital from 1999 to 2001.

This was Mitt Romney's explanation. Verbatim.

President Obama kicked off a two-day "Betting On America" bus tour. He talked to voters in their communities about his commitment to investing in American workers and creating jobs here at home. He's also discussing the choice in this election -- between his vision for growing our economy from the middle out and Mitt Romney's vision for an economy built from the top down.

Tax Havens. Offshore accounts. Carried Interest. Mitt Romney has used every trick in the book. Romney admits that over the last two years he's paid less than 15% in taxes on $43 million in income. Makes you wonder if some years he paid any taxes at all.

We don't know because Romney has released just one full year of his tax returns. And won't release anything before 2010.

Willard Romney.  What page is he on today?

President Obama held a town hall meeting in Cincinnati where he highlighted a new report that estimates Mitt Romney's economic plan would create 800,000 jobs in other countries, including 73,000 jobs in China. These jobs are likely to come at the expense of American workers, in cities like Cincinnati.

Before President Obama delivered remarks at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, he visited the home of Jason and Ali McLaughlin to discuss the need for Congress to extend the middle-class tax cuts that would prevent a tax hike on all families earning less than $250,000.

Mitt Romney's not the solution. He's the problem.

Mitt Romney accuses President Obama of not talking about the issues, but he has run a a campaign of carpet bombing and tearing down his opponents.

The more everyone finds out about Mitt Romney's finances, the more questions they have. Perhaps that's why he's hiding as much as he thinks he can get away with. Yesterday, The Boston Globe reported that Romney was still running Bain Capital two years after he claims he left the firm, directly contradicting his campaign's denial that he was involved in deals that led to layoffs, bankruptcies, and American jobs getting shipped overseas. Either Romney filed false SEC statements or he's making false statements to the American people now.
