Remember when Bill Clinton told Barack Obama to stop attacking Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital?
"There's no question that in terms of getting up and going to the office and basically performing the essential functions of the office, a man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold," Clinton said.
Obama just told him to shove it with his latest attack ad calling Romney the “outsourcer in chief.” Bain Capital, while Romney was the helm, invested in companies that were pioneers in outsourcing.
“Romney’s companies were pioneers at shipping U.S. jobs overseas,” the ad says, “investing in firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India.”
It’s a good strategy by Obama. Bain Capital might be a successful company, but at a time when unemployment is still above 8%, outsourcing is an ugly word.
