Outsourcer-in-chief?

The Obama campaign, true to their ability to spin, is calling Mitt Romney the "Outsourcer-in-Chief" because during his time with Bain Capital, he created jobs not only here, but also overseas.

Yes, that is true - he did outsource jobs. But here is what the disingenuous Obama campaign fails to point out: it was Romney's JOB to create maximum profits for the people who invested in Bain. And outsourcing created greater profits. In other words, Romney knew what his job was, and did it VERY well. It was NOT his job to create jobs for Americans.

But if Obama wants to talk about outsourcing jobs, perhaps he can explain why his close advisor, Jeffrey Immelt of GE, outsourced thousands of American jobs to overseas locations. Or why Obama gave stimulus money to overseas companies to hire overseas workers (like Fiskars). Unlike Romney, it is NOT Obama's job to outsource jobs. Unlike Romney, it appears Obama does NOT know his job, and does NOT do it well.

Frankly, I like the idea of electing a person to the White House who KNOWS his job, DOES his job, and does it WELL. That is the opposite of what we have now.

Anyone who OBJECTIVELY looks at Romney's life will notice that whatever job he is tasked with, he focuses on it and gets it done. Even when a company was broken up and people laid off, it was what was necessary to maximize profits. It was his job. If elected president, I do not doubt he will focus on that job as president and do the job that needs to be done, and do it well.

What a refreshing change that would be.
