but michele davis, she took it. and that's who mitt romney hired to clean up bain. and that's who mitt romney has hired. some of them have ethical constraints on what jobs they would take. but some don't. this firm was also hired by the gap in 2007 to clean things up for them after it was discovered that gap clothing was using being produced, using 10-year-old slaves in india. >> for gap, a retailer that has long promoted itself as promotionally responsible, the pictures could not be more embarrassing. children as young as 10 showing clothing carrying the gap label in a sweat shop in india. the photos got immediate response from gap's president. >> i am grateful that this investigative reporter found this because we can do something about it. >> good answer. when the gap needed some good answers when they wanted to clean up, not necessarily that problem, but the image problem created by their child slave labor problem, they hired this p.r. company called brunswick group. brunswick also got the cal when bp befouled the gulf coast with the spill. brunswick was who bp

her name is michelle davis. she has worked at some of the most questionable parts of washington.ae as a lobbyist. that's the same time that they got a 400 million-dollar fine. that's one of the many problems that fannie mae has had. she was one of the people who said, don't worry, fannie mae is fine. it doesn't need taxpayer money and it was shoveling the money to their executives. turns out, oops, fannie mae and freddie mac needed hundreds of billions of dollars from the united states taxpayers. who cares, all of her friends got paid. and she got paid. she was part of the bailout. she was with hank olsen the turley secretary under bush where they gave bankers everything. do you know that cynthia nixon played her in a hbo movie "too big to fail" let's show you an indicative scene from that movie. >> and what do i say when they ask me why it wasn't regulated? >> no one wanted it. we were making too much money. >> you'll work on, we were making too much money. >> cenk: no, but that is exactly it. that's the crux of the real ethical problem. not strippers, not any of that nonsense.

. >> romney campaign spokeswoman michelle davis goes further "with this investment, mitt romney and bainh its consortium partners partnered with a new management team to transform this company and grow it into a tremendous success. mitt romney is running for president to put that experience to work." >> jon: see america? we don't need fundamental changes in our policy making mechanics or the rebuilding of our structure. we just need better accountants. oh, i can't wait until we funnel south carolina to luxembourg. (laughter) by the way, how did the italians feel about this deal? >> one company shareholder who opposed the deal said "the government got ripped off, it was the beginning of the destruction of italian industry." >> the republican candidate seen as a "persona non grata" there. >> jon: wow. mitt romney's business practices are too shady for italy. (laughter) italy. (cheers and applause) mitt romney has to say to italy "i'm a legitimate businessman." (laughter) italy. a country where the prime minister, the head of the country's largest media conglomerate, and the host of their f

michelle davis is a former top aide to treasury secretary hank paulson who was once said about her, the hank paulson doesn't do anything without talking to michelle. she was paulson's right hand during the 2008 financial crisis. michelle davis served at fannie mae as their vice president for regulatory policy during a time in which fannie mae was found to have doctored its earnings statements to juice executive bonuses. so the crisis team he has brought in to manage the crisis might actually need a crisis team. >> you would have to wonder whether or not they have enough sort of ability to sort of own themselves or step outside of their own personal histories that they could look at this with the objectivity you would need out of a crisis team. >> peter: it seems like this highlights -- people talk about mitt romney being out of touch. this highlights it. someone probably told him hey you have a problem with bain so he says okay, i'll bring this person in. not realizing this person has a problem of their own. >> these are the people you know. so you turn to the people you know. they were

not only did she graduate, michelle davis graduate high school but now she is heading to college.ere's cnn's education distributor steve perry. >> reporter: you struggled in school, what ways? >> when i was younger i was labeled with a learning disability. so of course that affected reading and spelling. i always felt like i'm a normal kid, yeah, it might have took me a little longer to get one word or something like that, but when i got it, i got it. >> reporter: you say you were labeled. what does that mean to you? >> i felt like it was the easier way to just say oh, she has a disability, you know, it wasn't like we're not going to just give her some extra time or not going to just try to help her. it hurt, but i actually looked at it more as like i'm going to prove you all wrong. >> once the child is labeled and then they feel that they can't keep up with the other kids, and at the time, they was labeling here. oh she got adhd. give her some medicine. medicine? she's not going to any pills. i fought. i asked them to evaluate her. i went to her doctor, did as much as i could to

we know at the beginning of august that the campaign hired michelle davis, a pr person, to focus on changingrative around bain. we're starting to see that online. whether or not it's working is a whole another story. >> today the romney campaign put up a site called sterling career.com. the title that comes from the quote said bill clinton said about romney's record, they have done that. they've put up a new youtube ad. one thing that is interesting about this election is how quickly that youtube rapid response, and the democrats have been great at this. >> we're getting fact checking and in mitt romney speech he said in building bain capital they used $12 million of their own money and they had investment money on top of that. i don't know how many small businesses they start out with $12 million of the small business owner's own money. we're finding all sorts of things coming online and through activitier. >> you can see quick pics from our editor and a couple of people are saying they're not going to shop at staples any more after watching that. >> interesting. they're trying to get bette

davies, thank you very much for that. >>> all right. you probably expect some big endorsements to pour in for some of the olympics. hey, this is 2012. forget disneyland and wheaties. our correspondent michelleo a television set near you. >> reporter: well, you know, randi, olympic gold medals, they are great, but the reality is they just don't pay the rent. so as the stars from these games aim for endorsement deal, some are trying to leverage their new found fame into a career on reality tv. lolo jones was the track story of the olympics but i kind of fell in love with sandra richard ross, and apparently so did the networks. she has reportedly already sold a reality show pilot to the we network. according to deadline hollidayly, the deadline was. it's look at her training regimen as well as her personal life. she's married to nfl player ain ross of the jaguars. she's not the only gold-medal winn winner. gabby douglas is a huge fan of the vampire diaries an she's been tweeting back and forth with the executive producer of the show who's just invited her on. it looks like she may do it. but you know the biggest reality star could be swimmer ryan lochte. he's already in a funnier dive video wh

michele and i would not be here without the help of grants and student loans. we're only here because the chance of our eshoo -- the chance that education davis. want every person to have that chance -- that education gave us. i want everyone to have that chance. parents have to parent, young people have to stay disciplined and focused, but if you are willing to work hard, a college education in the 21st century should be available to everybody, not just the wealthy few. [applause] whether it is a four-year education, a two-year program, higher education is not a luxury. it is a necessity. every american family should be able to afford it. that is what is at stake in this election. that is a reason i'm running for president. i want you to understand -- i am not just talking the talk, making promises. since i took office, we have helped over 3 million more students afford a college education with grants that do not make it difficult. [applause] unfortunately, the economic plan of governmegovernor romney cut education by about 20%. the grants that we have used, that many of you may be taking advantage of -- those grants could be cut so deeply th
