Mitt Romney, countless times: Europe isn't working in Europe, it sure as hell won't work here in America.

Europe's largest independent refiner by capacity has been teetering since its lenders restricted credit late last year, a victim of thin refining margins and high debt that was a result of its private equity-backed business model.

The Bain Capital model isn't working in Europe.
