Obama complained to a Virginia audience that Romney “invested in companies that have been called pioneers of outsourcing. I don’t want a pioneer in outsourcing. I want some insourcing.”

Apple moved so many jobs overseas that economist Jared Bernstein cited the company as “an example of why it’s so hard to create middle-class jobs in the U.S. now.” Who’s Jared Bernstein? Oh, he just used to be one of Obama’s economic advisers, up until last year.

General Electric, headed up by Obama’s good friend Jeffrey Immelt – hand-picked by the President to chair his council of economic advisors – outsources software work to India.

Honorfirst: I don't drive nice cars. Our cars are 1994 and 2001. My house was a nice house, but we don't have the money right now to do repairs that are needed since my husband lost his job. Granted he is working now at 56 years old and doing a very hard job, which is taking it's toll on him. Went to school to learn a trade, but could not find a job in his field. What makes you think that others are not aloud to have nice things? If they HAD a decent paying job and lived within their means, are they not entitled to have some nice things? Or are the elite the only ones entitled to the nice things in life? Alot of people were thrown into poverty when they lost their jobs that they have been working hard at for many years. Don't assume that everyone was living off the high hog and spent money like there was no tomorrow. My Father had his own business, he is now retired, and my parents taught us to work hard for our money and to spend wisely. Please quit generalizing and make it look like everyone has fallen into poverty because of their own faults.

Y_tnk: What a clever play on words, did you learn that in Jr. High? If you really believe that taxes should be raised on the ones that already pay the largest share, you need help. And I stand by my comment that many in poverty live in big houses, drive nice cars, have large families, dress nicely... Open your eyes and look around, you can't possibly be that naive. Finally, as a veteran, I don't need your lecture on what is patriotic. The pathetic spending by Obama is leading this country down the tubes. This is the guy that is wiping out the middle class with his drive toward socialism. And you don't seem to have a clue.

Where is the proof? Unfortunately, today you have to pick the lesser of two evils. Mostly every single representative has no Honesty or Honor left. Name one, please.

"The wealth of the top 400 families = the wealth of the bottom 50%

Mr. Romney wants to double-down on trickle-down economics. Trickle-down doesn't work. The only thing that trickles is crap.

OBAMA - 2012"

wislady...I'm sorry, I do not understand the point of your question. If you are insinuating I have used links from biased sources in the past, I don't believe that I have. If you can provide an example where I might have, my apologies, I generally try to be very careful about the sources I use.

Obama has out-sourced our Space Program to Russsia, and Japan.

Through all these comments only one person got it right. Perhaps more people need the medicine the Kid uses to see things for what they really are.

Create jobs!? Really! No representative should brag that they have created any jobs. Period. Just like here in good old Wisconsin with Walker and all his jobs he allegedly created. I have seen many people here in Janesville after they have worked months and who were finally happy to have a job to be let go. Companies are creating 2nd and 3rd shift positions until they don't need you anymore and then you are gone. These poor people have to start looking for a job all over again. To all you companies and representatives, DON'T brag about creating jobs unless you can create permanent jobs for people. I don't care to hear anymore about your temporary or alleged permanent jobs. These temp jobs are not jobs people can rely on to support and feed their families and keep their homes. We NEED permanent jobs!

Are you serious?

Rick-Raff, I am not interested in doing anything that you tell me to do,
whether it be putting up or shutting up.
I will continue to express my opinions and if you don't like them,
that is fine with me.
Thank you for the response.
I knew that I could count on you.
Have a nice day.

bottom line...
how is it that the conservative movement could accuse a man of not loving his country for forgetting a pin but support a man who hides his money to avoid paying american taxes?

hfirst,
I "sound like", but you know nothing about me. Your ASSumptions are wrong.
.
Personally, I am doing fine... my family fine.
.
However, my country is not doing fine. The middle-class is shrinking and the wealth is being concentrated by fewer and fewer. That wealth also controls our politics. I am concerned.
.
I listen to people make excuses for the wealthy "job creators" on a daily basis. Taxes, regulations, employee wages, unions, etc... These excuses have been used to give these "job creators" a free pass to create jobs in third world countries where working conditions are something we, THE USA, would not have tolerated in 1900.
.
The wealthy "job creators" are getting richer while creating "jobs" in these third world countries and then, AT THE SAME TIME, complaining about the cost of the poor in this country.
.
Yes, there are people who abuse the system... take Mr. Romney for example. Tax shelters to avoid paying taxes.. legal but also UNpatriotic.
.
Think about this... President Obama was ripped apart for a US Flag lappel pin missing yet Mr. Romney is able to legally skip paying taxes and all is quiet.
.
Apparently, according to the conservative right, it is more important and more patriotic to wear a button then to pay all of your taxes. We agree that forgetting a button and using tax shelters are both legal but only one upset fox news, rush, hannity and right wing extremists.
.
I am for the middle-class in this country. I want it to grow and do well. I recognize that when this happens I do better. Life is better for me.
.
I believe that president obama, although extremely frustrating at times, is more in agreement than I am.
.
BTW, your characterization of those in poverty with big families, houses etc... is horribly and pathetically ignorant.

Why_Think,

You sound like a "don't have" that is attempting to get into the "do_haves" wallets. Why don't you and the others that feel the same as you do try to make your own way in life like the successful ones do. I can tell you people are getting tired of supporting the people that suggest they are living in poverty, but many drive nice cars, have large families, nice houses, dress nicely... Wouldn't it be better to assist them in getting their priorities straight and make better decisions instead of supporting their bad decisions? Sort of like the saying that goes something like; give them fish and they can enjoy a meal or teach them to fish and they can enjoy many meals...

OBAMA - 2012

Wonder what Mittens is hiding in those tax returns?

Much of this dust-up, created by the Romney camp and set in motion by the Drudge Report, is to distract from Willard Mitt Romney's failure to release twelve years worth of his tax returns - a precedent set in place by his father. Release twelve years of tax returns, Willard Mitt Romney, like your father did and like President Obama and Vice President Biden have. Your own father said, "“One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show." What are you hiding, Willard Mitt Romney? [ http://www.taxhistory.org/www/website.ns... ]

"Mitt Romney yesterday finally admitted that he pays a tax rate of about 15 percent, though he continues to put off releasing his full tax returns. However, when Mitt’s father, George Romney, ran for President in 1968, he released 12 years of tax returns, which revealed that he paid a 37 percent effective tax rate." [ http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/01... ]

Making this demand is not about class warfare or class envy or any of the other excuses Romney and his supporters use to deflect attention on the subject. It’s about transparency. It’s a relevant quest made all the more important since news reports revealed Romney’s tax shelters and bank accounts outside the United States. Even Republican Party elder Haley Barbour says, “I would” to the tax return-release question." [ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post... ]

Mooshoo; Birther comments? That is your pathetic answer? Wow, how impressive. To make it simple, when Obama first ran for President, I said first, what were his q-u-a-l-i-f-c-a-t-i-o-n's? Obama said that Romney's business experience wasn't enough. Don't strain anything now!!:)

The truly sad point of this is that 'news' is now based off of political advertisements?? Why not a news release on what that adorable Taco Bell dog is up to??

You can ask all you want.
I just hope that you have better luck
than they have been having with Romney.

garyprimer: HaHa, Obama is the one that brought up qualifications so why can't we ask what his were? There are still alot of questions that Obama needs to answer or don't we need to know?

Ha,ha!
You guys think that you can turn the tables that easily?
This is about Mitt and what Mitt did.
Everything that happens in the world is not about Obama.
Let's talk about the other candidate for once.
Mitt, please release the tax returns and come clean.
We will still love you.
We will still respect you in the morning.

Mooshoo: What were Obama's qualifications to be President? How about Mr. Obama reveling a few more facts about his experience. Why is he keeping so much secret about his past? Why is Obama afraid to talk about his record? Too many questions? Let's make easy, answer the first one.

Wislady you are so misinformed. Would you rather states continue to have their hands tied when it comes to finding more ways to help people become employed?
"HHS is encouraging states to consider new, more effective ways to meet the goals of TANF, particularly helping parents successfully prepare for, find, and retain employment. Therefore, HHS is issuing this information memorandum to notify states of the Secretary’s willingness to exercise her waiver authority under section 1115 of the Social Security Act to allow states to test alternative and innovative strategies, policies, and procedures that are designed to improve employment outcomes for needy families." HHS will only approve waivers relating to the requirement to work that make changes intended to lead to more effective means of meeting the work goals of TANF.

Do you ever bother to research any of the right wing propaganda articles that you get your information from? It was either you or donnaw that suggested I not rely on Poltifact so much and be willing to read other articles to see a different point of view. I do that. I print off and read these articles from liberal and conservative sources. I then highlight all main points and then investigate to find out the facts. I do not use biased sources in this research. I use govt agencies actual reports, White House papers, Project Vote Smart, Poltifact, Fact Check and studies conducted which cite their sources. There is nothing wrong with reading articles to get a different perspective but why would anyone base their decisions on a point of view other than the truth? You cannot just blindly accept everything stated in these articles, otherwise you are allowing yourself to be misinformed

This is nothing more than Obama deflecting bad economic news to take the conversation in another direction. Show us your school transcripts Obama. Show us your work history. Tell us who you really are.

Mr. Obama can't "come clean" because he is "Chicago politics" on steroids.

This "controversy" is simply another diversionary tactic the WH has used while they secretly work behind the scenes.

The latest "executive order" has removed the 1996 welfare reform measures that Clinton/republicans put in place. Waivers now... for welfare recipients so they do not have to look for work.

The Obama re-election team is deliberately using deceptive means to imply wrong doing. Most of what they have said has been proven to be false. Looks like you can throw the words Honesty and Honor out the window with the word transparency. They seem to mean so very little to the current WH.
