Bill Clinton: Mitt Romney’s business record ‘sterling’

President Bill Clinton veered sharply off message Thursday, telling CNN that Mitt Romney’s business record at Bain Capital was “sterling.”

“I don’t think that we ought to get into the position where we say ‘This is bad work. This is good work,’” Clinton said. “The man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold.”

Clinton also went on to say that Romney’s time at Bain Capital represented a “good business career.”

That’s right up there with Cory Booker who made headlines when he said President Obama’s attacks on Bain Capital were nauseating.
