So.... the Obama machine accuses Romney of being the King of Outsourcers. After the story of wrongdoing published by the Boston Post was proven to be false today, it looks like they're batting 1000. Even HuffPo is calling them out... amazing!


During the past two weeks, President Barack Obama's campaign has blasted Republican challenger Mitt Romney as an “outsourcer,” focusing on his career with private equity firm Bain Capital. The Romney campaign hit back on Tuesday, claiming Obama's stimulus package failed to protect American workers and helped create jobs overseas.

If Romney really wanted a juicy example of outsourcing, he would have to look no further than the president's jobs council.

Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, 26 business leaders assembled by the president for job-spurring ideas, includes representatives of several companies that have used outsourcing, fueling job creation abroad and job losses in the U.S. Shipping work to low-cost overseas labor markets has been a trend in American manufacturing for decades. The White House has a plan to curb outsourcing, but companies represented on the jobs council reveal just how pervasive the practice is.

There’s General Electric, whose CEO Jeffrey Immelt has served as chair of the advisory board since January 2011. Since Immelt took over GE in 2001, the company has lost 37,000 American jobs, and added 25,000 jobs overseas, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some of those U.S. job losses are inflated by the company’s sale of NBC to Comcast in 2009.

Chris Townsend, political director of the United Electrical Workers labor union that represents roughly 5,500 GE employees in the U.S., said the company has closed more than 30 U.S. plants since Obama took office. GE would not confirm the number.

We're watching them fall apart, ladies & gentlemen. Sooner or later, they're gonna have to quit making up nonsense like this and address the true issues... like a sorry economy and no hope of things getting better as long as Obama is in the WH.

Come on November... so we can finally begin to climb outta this pit.

And Mitt has to make sure the public knows this. He is not attacking Obama enough with the truth and it could be his downfall. A lot of people on the streets don't read like we do and compare. I know Obama has outsourced more but he attacks Mitt. That's all the people will see.

Well remember when Obama was touting the Trade treaty with South Korea? I do recall him saying that 70k jobs were created. Course back then he failed to mention all those jobs were overseas in S. Korea. But the Obamabots cheered him on.

They can't run on Ubama's record and Romney is about the most squeaky clean pres. candidtate in a long time. They keep attacking him on riding a wave rider and crap like that, because they have nothing on him.
