Obama ad calls Romney 'the problem' with job losses to China July 7, 2012 Undeterred by independent fact-checkers that have debunked the thrust of their claims, the Obama campaign is redoubling attacks on Mitt Romney as an "outsourcer" in a new TV ad airing in eight battleground states. The 30-second spot — titled "The Problem" — claims Romney condoned the Chinese "taking our jobs and taking a lot of our future." "He made a fortune letting it happen," the narrator says, focusing on Bain Capital outsourcing to China, a country Romney has vowed to challenge as president. It's the latest in a steady drumbeat of negative attacks on Romney's record as a corporate buyout specialist, alleging he profited off of deliberately bankrupting companies and sending jobs overseas. The inclusion of China in the new ad also comes as Obama tries to bolster his image as a hard-liner against China. On Thursday, the administration lodged a new complaint against China at the World Trade Organization, challenging tariffs on U.S. auto exports. The case coincided with Obama's campaign bus tour through auto manufacturing country of Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Romney campaign called the latest ad a continuation of "desperate lies," citing reports by several independent fact-checkers that have discredited the suggestion that Romney himself had a direct role in relocating U.S. jobs overseas. "We found no evidence to support the claim that Romney — while he was still running Bain Capital —shipped American jobs overseas," FactCheck.org concluded in a report last month. Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler also concluded that while Bain-owned companies may have engaged in outsourcing, Romney's ties to the practice are tenuous. The ad blitz comes in spite of Obama's comments to audiences on his bus tour last week decrying the negative tone of the campaign on TV. "You guys are getting bombarded with all kinds of nonsense on TV. So I know that sometimes politics can be discouraging, and especially Washington politics can be discouraging, and it can seem small and it can seem petty," Obama said Friday. Independent media monitors that track campaign advertising report that 76 percent of the TV ads Obama's campaign has aired over the past month have had a negative, "anti-Romney" message. The new ad begins airing Saturday in New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada, the Obama campaign said. http://news.yahoo.com/obama-ad-call...osses-china-211558697--abc-news-politics.html
Hahaha... the moderator can change the title to "Obama Lies Like A Rug" if he would like. But, then again, there are rugs that I like better than Obama... hmmm.. we have a dilemma.
One quick question: Who has made every U.S. citizen a[n] indentured servant/debt slave to China from all the loans he's taken from that country?
Debt is cumulative. All your graph really shows is that Bush's debt plus the debt Obama added is greater than Bush's debt alone. And then it has Obama in office until 2020 and attributing all the debt to him. What I have shown is who actually spent the money. Bush's spending continues into the future while Obama's spending does so to a far, far less extent. What is it with Right-wingers and their inability to understand simple charts and graphs. Geeesh! Oh Yeah, they're Right-wingers and critical thinking is beyond their scope.
The graph I presented uses figures from the Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office. If you don't like the statistics, speak to them. Your graph doesn't even list the cost of Obama's continuation of the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq (much less the cost of the war Obama inflicted upon Libya). What is it with left-wing liberals and their hatred of correct facts and figures?
Just because you can read the source of the data at the bottom just like the rest of can, doesn't mean you know what that data means. You obviously don't once again.
The Bush Tax Cuts expired at the end of 2010. After that they should be in the Obama ledger since he signed the current tax cuts into law. Something like 800 billion over the last 2 years.
Do you mean to tell me that you read the source of the data and you STILL can't figure it out? That doesn't say much for our country's educational system, now does it?
Thanks for pointing that out, Stujoe. It's something Moen/Joen either doesn't see or is not wanting to acknowledge.
No one argued about the source of the data just YOUR interpretation of it. You simply have to change the subject to try and win every argument. It's pretty pathetic and exactly what makes you such a joke.
I guess I am missing something here. Where is "YOUR interpretation" of the data for your graph? BTW, "President Obama's national health care law will cost $1.76 trillion over a decade, according to a new projection released today by the Congressional Budget Office" - and that was before the SCOTUS said that states cannot be forced to pay.
Both graphs posted were in response to the question, "Who has made every U.S. citizen a[n] indentured servant/debt slave to China from all the loans he's taken from that country?" That was the thing you guessed you were missing....and you were and still are missing it. This is why you only find Right-wing bloggers throwing around the $1.76 Tillion increase number.....Because it is BS!

What did you think the $425 stimulus tax cuts number meant? What’s also important, but not evident, on this chart is that Obama’s major expenses were temporary — the stimulus is over now — while Bush’s were, effectively, recurring. The Bush tax cuts didn’t just lower revenue for 10 years. It’s clear now that they lowered it indefinitely, which means this chart is understating their true cost. Similarly, the Medicare drug benefit is costing money on perpetuity, not just for two or three years. And Boehner, Ryan and others voted for these laws and, in some cases, helped to craft and pass them.
BO conned his way into office in 2008 by lying to the public with his claims he knew what our problems were & he knew how to fix them. 51% of the voters were dumb enough to fall for the lie. This time around BO's strategy is to convince the same number of people that they are getting screwed by someone else & only he can protect them.
The problem is that the 51% who were so dumb are still dumb. The only question is how much have they learned in 4 years. MTV and ESPN do not cover taxes.
