Tuesday, June 5, 2012 – Daily News WORLD BRIEFING Clinton: Romney would be warned Monday that a Mitt Romney presidency would be ''calamitous'' for the nation and the world, going further than even President Barack Obama in depicting the conse- quences of a return to Republican rule of the White House. With Obama standing thoughtfully to one side, Clinton slammed Romney by name, an apparent rebuttal to his own comments last week that were widely seen as flattering to Romney's background in business. 'calamitous' for US NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton when Obama defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in a bitter Democratic primary. But Clinton caused some heartburn in Obama's campaign last week by remarking that Romney had a ''sterling'' business record — an assertion that under- cut Democrats' criticism of Romney's decisions at the pri- vate equity firm Bain Capital. Clinton said Obama had earned a second term because of his steering of the economy through a ''miserable situa- tion'' and ''the alternative would be, in my opinion, calami- tous for our country and the world.'' Clinton's take came as he helped raise at least $3.6 mil- lion for Obama at three New York fundraisers. The two have patched over a personal rift from the 2008 campaign Costner over BP deal NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Kevin Costner's fame is the only reason fellow Hollywood actor Stephen Bald- win and another person sued Costner over their invest- ments in an oil cleanup device tried out after BP's spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Costner's attorney said as trial opened in the multimillion-dollar business dispute. Baldwin and friend Spyridon Contogouris claim Costner and business partner Patrick Smith duped them of their shares of an $18 million deal for BP to buy oil- Trial opens in suit against 5B separating centrifuges after the April 2010 oil spill. Costner's attorney, Wayne Lee, said his client played no role in Baldwin and Contogouris' decision to sell their shares in a company that marketed the centrifuges to the energy company for $1.4 million and $500,000, respectively. ''Kevin Costner is here for one reason and one rea- son only: He's famous,'' Lee said in opening state- ments. Plaintiffs' attorney James Cobb accused Costner and Smith of spinning a web of lies that cheated his clients out of millions of dollars, telling the eight jurors that the case is about deception ''fueled by power and greed.''
