Charlie maneuvered him into saying Romney (as head of Bain Capital) would be able to help business more and therefore the economy. I sense another run from him and a strong counter to what Bernie Sanders is saying. I'm still unsure of why we are being held hostage, but think this exchange helps explain it. They may truly believe they are the good guys and we should be thankful to their giving us any jobs at all.
