Why can't dems just shut up!? Newark Mayor Booker 'uncomforable' with attacks on Bain Capital [View all]

Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D) said on Meet the Press he was "uncomfortable" with the Obama campaign's attacks on Mitt Romney's record with Bain Capital.

Said Booker: "I'm not about to sit here and indict private equity. If you look at the totality of Bain Capital's record, they've done a lot to support businesses -- to grow businesses. And this to me, I'm very uncomfortable."
