I'll bet these two paid their taxes, unlike many in the Obama Administration.
President Obama's rhetoric would suggest that he's against Bain (both Bain Capital, the investment firm, and Bain Consulting, the consulting firm, as he makes little distinction between the two Bains where Mitt Romney worked in the past). But Obama's own hiring practice suggests something a little different: His own budget director is a Bain guy who married a Bain gal.
Jeff Zients is the head of the Obama administration's Office of Management and Budget. "Like Mitt Romney, the man who would unseat his boss, Mr. Zients (rhymes with science) got his professional start at Bain Consulting," the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303644004577523071816686902.html?mod=googlenews_wsj) reports.

After Mr. Zients donated to 2008 Democratic presidential candidates Mr. Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, an unexpected door opened. Mr. Obama set up a new position, "chief performance officer," to cut bureaucracy, but the original nominee was forced to withdraw over a tax controversy. A fellow entrepreneur, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, says he floated Mr. Zients's name.

As Mr. Zients net worth is estimated at $200 million, I'm sure he doesn't mind paying that extra 3%. I wonder why all those rich Democrats just don't cut the government a check as they don't need that much money. Better yet, cut me a check! I can't do any worse budgeting than Dingy Harry.
