Bain snookered a lot of people, didn't they. Are any of those running for President, though?

Snookered?  SNOOKERED??  What the hell are you talking about, snookers?   :dunno:

I'm talking about how all of those on the list are retirement FUND PACKAGES, of which Bain is not the ONLY stock in the bundles.

* Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund ($2.2 million)
* Indiana Public Retirement SystemRetirement System ($177.1 million)
* The Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension System ($19.5 million)
* Maryland State Retirement and Pension SystemRetirement System of Nevada ($20.3 million)
* State Teachers Retirement SystemRetirement SystemRetirement System of Rhode Island ($25 million)
* San Diego County Employees Retirement Association ($23.5 million)
* Teacher Retirement System of Texas ($122.5 million)
* Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System ($15 million)

...and those packages were handled by a financial institution such as Edward Jones, Fidelity Funds, Vanguard, Franklin Templeton, etc. who chose the individual companies in any given portfolio that they sell. People who are against big oil still wind up with shares in big oil anyway when buying such packages.
