Who has Investments at Bain? Oprah for one....

What do Oprah, Yale U, California teachers and Illinois public employees have in common? Hint: It rhymes with "Rain Capital"

When President Barack Obama and/or his surrogates - including Uncle Crazy Joe Biden - convene in Charlotte, NC, expect to hear much more talk about how that terrible, awful, no-good, greedy, heartless vulture Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was a cold-hearted, conniving, cheating capitalist when he worked in the private sector.

Do not expect, however, to hear Oprah Winfrey, public employees anywhere, professors or administrators at elite universities or teachers' unions say one negative thing about the Collectivist in Chief Obama or one positive thing about Moneybags Mitt. Those typically left-winging types may not mouth the words, but they've already voted with their pocketbooks.

Deroy Murdock, in a column in the New York Post, has done the country a great service by exposing the hypocrisy of the Obamaphiles listed above. You see, gentle reader, left-wing institutions of all types have invested their money with - EGADS! - Bain Capital.

A partial list of those outfits representing public employees - most likely unionized public employees - who either had or have big bucks with the firm Romney founded:
* Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund ($2.2 million)
* Indiana Public Retirement System ($39.3 million)
* Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System ($177.1 million)
* The Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension System ($19.5 million)
* Maryland State Retirement and Pension System ($117.5 million)
* Public Employees' Retirement System of Nevada ($20.3 million)
* State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio ($767.3 million)
* Pennsylvania State Employees' Retirement System ($231.5 million)
* Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island ($25 million)
* San Diego County Employees Retirement Association ($23.5 million)
* Teacher Retirement System of Texas ($122.5 million)
* Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System ($15 million) (Go Big Orange!)

Murdoch wrote that Yale wasn't alone among left-leaning schools like Columbia, Cornell, MIT trusted Bain with their money, in addition other institutions of higher learning:
* Purdue University ($15.9 million)
* University of California ($225.7 million)
* University of Michigan ($130 million)
* University of Virginia ($20 million)
* University of Washington ($33 million)

Yep, when they want a return on their filthy lucre they gained from the 'rigged system' they turn to a Republican businessman's former company to invest it for them.

Oh wait, I suppose they would characterize it as "reaching across the aisle" or "putting aside our differences to get something done."

It is pretty amazing to me. Mr. Romney's team should make it a point to explain to people about investments and pension funds and what Bain did and how the economy works for the people who believe the lies and smears. It is probably a waste of time, but hopefully he can get some of these points across in the debates and persuade a few undecided voters.

The debates are coming and Obama will be exposed between Romney and Ryan. Contrary to what some say.
