Romney Interview Directly Contradicts His Previous Statements About Bain Tenure
Update: The Boston Globe reports The Romney campaign declined to comment on the record about whether the business trips and board meetings were related to Bain Capital obligations.

Mitt Romney told CBS Newss Jan Crawford Friday evening that he did not attend Bain Capital meetings after he left the company in February of 1999 to run the Winter Olympics. But this answer appears to contradict sworn testimony he delivered in 2002 as part of a hearing to determine whether he had sufficient residency status in Massachusetts to run for governor:
2002: (T)here were a number of social trips and business trips that brought me back to Massachusetts, board meetings, Thanksgiving and so forth.
2012: I was in Salt Lake City for three straight years. I dont recall even coming back once to go to a Bain or management meeting. We were, I was out there running the Olympics and it was a full time job, I can tell you that.
Jan, I had no involvement with the management of Bain Capital after 1999, Romney insisted on Friday.

Nothing riles people more than watching the videotape of a politician giving contradictory answers, and hearing the words come out of their own mouth.
I think the Obama people are keeping the powder dry on some of this till we get closer to the election in November.
Result: should be devastating.

If Romney wasn't in charge, why doesn't the person who WAS in charge at that time step forward. The one who signed the 1040s in April, the one who read the quarterlies, the one who signed the checks?
