Obama camp attacks Mitt Romney’s departure from Bain Capital

The debate over when Mitt Romney left Bain Capital continued to be a major issue for the Obama campaign over the weekend.

As CBS reported, news accounts show Romney signed SEC documents confirming he was the "sole shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and President" of Bain Capital after he said he left in 1999 to run the Salt Lake City Olympics.

On Sunday, Obama spokesperson Stephanie Cutter told CBS' Face the Nation: "If you're signing an SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] document with your own signature that you're the president, C.E.O., chairman of the board and 100 percent owner of a company, in what world are you living in that you're not in charge?"

"If he wasn't the head of it, who was?" she asked.

The Obama campaign maintains whether he left in 1999 or 2002 is important because his experience at Bain is "his sole rationale for being president."

According to CNN, Cutter suggested earlier this week that Romney could be guilty of a “felony” due to the questions that have been raised about the documents.

In an interview with CNN and other networks, Romney reiterated he had “no role whatsoever in managing Bain Capital after February of 1999.”

Ed Gillespie, a top Romney campaign adviser, said Obama's criticism was wrong "We now know that this president will say or do anything to keep the highest office in the land, even if it means demeaning the highest office in the land."
