In the basket that FactCheck.Org has found the Obama statement to be false. This only makes it look more like Romney and FactCheck are in a partnership on this issue. The problem with FactCheck is that they theorized that Obama is wrong because if Romney is wrong it would mean that he comitted a felony. They apparently didn't consider the paper trail that the Obama people used to support their position. The responsible thing for FactCheck to have done is to declare that it is inconclusive because key data is being withheld by Romney. Now Romney did leak a document to Fortune but upon examination it proved nothing because it was a single snapshot and it would require a 2nd document prior to February 1999 for it to be conclusive. Also, Bain stationary before and after February 1999 should show a change in management if one happened. There are all kinds of ways Romney could put this behind him if what he claims is true. That hasn't happened and that strongly suggests Romney has lied to the American people regarding his departure from Bain. You would have to ask him why.
