Here's some non-BS...

After giving a speech in Austin, Texas in which he decried Mitt Romney for overseeing companies that outsourced jobs, President Obama attended a fundraiser hosted by Tom Meredith, a former Dell executive who once oversaw outsourcing at his own company — and said he would be “ruthless” about cutting costs.

In 2001, while serving as senior vice president of Dell Computer Corp, Meredith defended plans to lay off between 3,000 and 4,000 employees — largely in Texas — while sparing about 4,000 jobs in Asia Pacific. When that strategy was reported by the tech press at the time Meredith defended the move.

“We will be ruthless in how we address our cost structure,” Meredith said, a comment that drew wide attention at the time.

Apparently, Obama has no problem with off-shorers when they stick money in his pockets.

all the demnuts can talk about is how romney outsourced jobs, but lets talk about obama doing. OH sorry that is not allowed since he is president. BS.

Here is one source for ya and since it is from the huff and puff we know it must be true
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/1 ... 66443.html

hell most of the people he put together for one of his job councils is filled with ceo's that did a lot of outsourcing of jobs overseas. So go look in the mirror and take a hard look at what your own did. Its ok for the demnuts to do but no one else. Talk about ignorance and stupidity

Then we have obama's stimulus that also sent jobs overseas. You won't talk about them either.

You never talk about Romney's outsourcing...(or is it off-shoring?..I can never remember). You just move right into some irrelevant, obscure "Obama did it too" bullsh*t.

Let me know when you're ready to talk about Romney's outsourcing...

So there it is, so long as it is obama it is irrelevant, whenever it is a democrat it always seems to be irrelevant. So it is a bad thing that Romnut did, but not what obama did. kettle calling the lid black. They are both lying about it. Both of them. One is just as guilty as the other. It is that simple

http://www.computerworld.com.au/article ... _vs_obama/ One of the many articles about both of them doing it. Romney and obama are more concerned about themselves and how they are percieved than the jobless in THIS COUNTRY.

Why does Romney's outsourcing when he was a private citizen have anything to do with after he becomes president?

Obama was still supporting the companies that do outsourcing when unemployment is over 8%. Sending hundreds of millions overseas to Fiskar and other green companies while millions of American are looking for work.

Or LJ, do you think that green energy was more important than high unemployment numbers?

It matters because he's running on being a "job creator", and it's a lie. He tries to take credit for jobs created "after he [allegedly] left the company", (which apparently is what you call "retroactive retirement"?) And he tries to dodge jobs off-shored/outsourced/destroyed-to-make-a-buck while he was there.

In short, he's a liar... That why it matters. That's why I don't want an outsourcer-in-chief, mony-grubbing, crony-capitalist, vulture-capitalist in the White House. This is NOT the "United States of America, LLC".

The argument that somehow "green energy" kills jobs is bullsh*t from the usual kool-aid think-tanks.

"Privatize the gains; Socialize the failures." That's what he does best.

Real interesting reading, This is about Romney and the so called allegations from the obama campaign. They like to tell thier version of the truth and not the real truth.

Seems obama campaign folks are the liars. Was romney perfect no. The lies being told and the half truths being told by the obama campaign is overboard though.

rofllol Sounds like Obama who socialized the risk and privatized the profit with Solyndra and other garbage companies. :thumbsup:

God I love it when you hold up Politifact when you think you've occasionally got one for Romney, but when the other 99% of his lies get exposed, all of a sudden they're a "left-wing, biased, partisan" site that is not to be given any credence...

Factcheck: Romney Wrong on Economy

Posted: 05 Jun 2011 07:12 AM PDT
An AP fact-checking story claims that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was wrong when he said about President Obama, "When he took office, the economy was in recession. He made it worse. And he made it last longer." AP reporters Calvin Woodward and Jim Kuhnhenn write, "The gross domestic product, the prime measure of economic strength, shrank by a severe 6.8 percent annual rate before Obama became president. The declines eased after he took office and economic growth, however modest, resumed."

Mitt Romney's "Fake-Facts"

last Thursday when former corporate raider Mitt Romney, who made millions out-sourcing American jobs to foreign countries, expressed his opinion on the Supreme Court's decision upholding Obamacare. In just one paragraph of his speech, Romney made six claims that bear no relation to the real world. He created "fake-facts" about health care reform and totally distorted the law's real impact. This is an old Karl Rove campaign tactic -- make things up -- on steroids. It needs to be exposed.

1. Romney said Obamacare "cuts Medicare, by approximately $500 billion." This claim is meant to scare seniors, but it is simply false. PolitiFact.com has this to say about this bogus claim: "The bill doesn't take money out of the current Medicare budget but, rather, attempts to slow the program's future growth, curtailing just over $500 billion in anticipated spending increases over the next 10 years." Those savings come from a variety of administrative changes and things like requiring Medicare Advantage plans to reduce their inflated costs. The law makes no cuts to guaranteed Medicare benefits. In fact, it increases Medicare benefits by improving the prescription drug benefit and by making cancer screenings and other preventive services available without a co-pay.

2. Romney said Obamacare "raises taxes on the American people by approximately $500 billion." False. In fact, families across the nation will save money as a result of the Obamacare reforms, such as state-based exchanges that come online in 2014. Families who purchase private health insurance through these exchanges will save up to $2,300 each year on their health care spending. Millions of Americans already see real savings as their out-of-pocket costs go down to zero for preventive care like flu shots or cancer screenings.

3. Romney says Obamacare "adds trillions to our deficits and to our national debt." False. In fact, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that Obamacare will reduce the national deficit by $210 billion over the next 10 years.

4. Romney says Obamacare will force up to 20 million Americans to "lose the insurance they currently have." False. Rather than losing insurance, millions of Americans will get insurance for the first time. CBO and the Joint Economic Committee estimate that the number of people without health insurance coverage will be reduced by 30 million to 33 million by 2016 if the states implement the law as intended.

5. Romney says Obamacare is "a job-killer." False. It takes a lot of nerve for a politician who has endorsed the job-killing agenda of Paul Ryan and the House Republicans to try to label health care reform as a job-killer. In fact, one recent study suggests that the lower growth in health care costs through Obamacare will create 250,000 to 400,000 thousand new jobs in many industries annually throughout the next decade.

6. Romney says "Obamacare puts the federal government between you and your doctor." False. Obamacare removes the insurance companies from their position between you and your doctor. Remember, under Obamacare, insurance companies can no longer end your health coverage if you become ill or deny you coverage because of a pre-existing condition. And insurance companies will have to spend 80 percent of the money they take in on health care - not on administrative costs or CEO salaries - and refund the money to their customers if they don't meet the target. Before the end of the summer, 12.8 million Americans will receive rebates because their insurance company spent too much of their premium dollars on administrative costs or CEO bonuses.

When you hear Romney and other politicians say these things, tell your friends and coworkers that they are spreading lies. They are out of touch with reality.

I've got a whole page of Politifact verified lies that they've told about the Affordable Health Care Act, but since we're talking about the TRUE STORY of Romney's OUTSOURCING OF THE OLYMPICS UNIFORMS, (and the true, proven story about the behind-the-scenes crony capitalism that made sure that Stapes got the Olympic Committee contract for office supplies--[how conveeeeeeenient]), I'll save it for later.

Not all of your "facts" up there have been verified. They are more best case scenarios. A lot of Obamacare is still being interpeted. So if you are are going to say Romney is making assumptions, so is the HuffPo.

Example 5: Sure Obamacare will make some jobs, as businesses have to hire people to update health systems, but will jobs be lost because of increased taxes and people choosing to fire people and making their companies more lean to reduce insurance costs? For example, eliminating maximum coverage limits will raise costs for private insurance that will be passed down to businesses and employees.
