http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-targets-romneys-work-as-venture-capitalist-in-biting-attack-blames-him-for-lost-jobs/2012/05/16/gIQA5RvGTU_story.htmlVice President Joe Biden is pouncing on Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney in swing state Ohio, casting him as a corporate raider more interested in making profits than in the needs of workers.
In a speech set for delivery Wednesday in Youngstown, Ohio, Biden strikes hard at Romney, picking up on an attack line set this week in ads by the Obama campaign and by a super political action committee supporting the presidents re-election.
(snip)
The vice president specifically singles out Romneys tenure at Boston-based Bain Capital, a private equity firm Romney co-founded, and the fate of a Kansas City, Mo., steel mill that failed after Bain purchased it 19 years ago.
Everyone lost their jobs, Biden says.

I'm thinking Vampire capitalist is more accurate. Sneaks in when your not looking and sucks out the life blood...

He is at heart a genuine "regular Joe" and identifies deeply with the common man because those are his roots. Go, Joe, go!
