Mitt Romney's history at Bain Capital has been at the center of the presidential campaign for more than a week. Romney's demand for an apology from President Barack Obama remains unanswered, and the president continues an unwavering attack on Romney's record there.

I was the Founder and President of Bain, the sole and only 100% shareholder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer. I got paid millions from the Bain and its investments, and still get paid millions from the Bain and its investments, and my role at Bain shows how great a businessman and job creator I was...but I am not responsible for anything bad they did...and by the way even though I gave 23 years of tax returns to McCain when I wanted to be his Vice President and my father made public 12 years of tax returns when he ran for President...I will only release 1 year to the public and I will not comment on the hundreds of millions I have stashed in overseas tax havens..and I will not comment on the millions the lobby group I founded in 2007, the Private Equity Council, spent to kill the legislation sponsored by Republican Chuck Grassley from Iowa in 2007 to close the tax loopholes I used and still use to only pay 15% tax on the over $43 Million I make per year as a "retiree."

The nerve of you to even ask such questions or to even doubt me...Now shut up and elect me President.

Signed Mitt Romney to the American people.
