President Barack Obama speaks during a campaign event, Monday, Sept. 17, 2012, at Seasongood Pavilion in Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, OH - President Barack Obama touted his administration's new trade complaint against China here in swing state Ohio on Monday, characterizing GOP rival Mitt Romney’s vow to get tough on China as mere lip service.
Recommended: Under increasing scrutiny, Romney campaign turns to details
Obama played up his administration’s new World Trade Organization complaint, which accuses the Chinese government of illegally subsidizing its auto parts industry so as to make products more competitive in the American market. The complaint has particular resonance in states like Ohio, where the auto industry makes up a large share of the economy.
“These are subsidies that directly harm working men and women on the assembly lines in Ohio and Michigan and across the Midwest,” Obama told a crowd of 4,500 at Eden Park in Cincinnati. “It’s not right; it’s against the rules; and we will not let it stand.”
Jim VandeHei shares details from a Politico article, which suggests infighting within the Romney campaign and details the role of top strategist Stuart Stevens in the campaign.
Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, has promised to take a tougher stand toward China if he were elected. That commitment, Obama argued, can’t be taken seriously given Romney’s record at Bain Capital, in which companies acquired by Bain sometimes outsourced jobs to other countries.
Obama accused Romney of having a mixed record on China, claiming that while Romney is “running around Ohio claiming he’s going to roll up his sleeves and take the fight to China,:
“Ohio, you can’t stand up to China when all you’ve done is send them our jobs,” Obama said. “You can talk a good game, but I like to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.”
President Obama talks about his plan to encourage jobs creation in the U.S. to a crowd of supporters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ohio, where one in every eight people has ties to the auto industry, is an ideal host for Obama’s attack on China’s auto industry practices, especially as both campaigns are vying fiercely over the state’s 18 electoral votes. Obama seemed to be widening his lead here slightly as of the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist University poll which showed him leading Romney 50 percent to 43 percent.
This was the second auto-focused WTO complaint Obama launched against China while speaking in Ohio. Back in July, he announced a citation against the country’s imposition of tariffs on American automobile imports while in Maumee, Ohio – right outside the auto-manufacturing hub of Toledo.
The Romney campaign pre-butted to Obama by releasing a statement from the candidate that new complaint was “too little, too late,” calling it a “campaign season trade case.”
“I will not wait until the last months of my presidency to stand up to China, or do so only when votes are at stake,” Romney said in the statement.
But today the White House insisted the complaint was not politically motivated.
“It's clear that this is a long and consistent part of the president's record,” deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said of the many WTO cases Obama has brought against China, during a gaggle with reporters on Air Force One en route to Cincinnati. He added that this trade complaint had been “months in the making.”
Obama continues his Ohio swing with a stop in Columbus later Monday afternoon.

Speaking of walking...
WHAT is UP with Willard's baby steps?
Are his mom jeans he hikes up under his armpits too tight?
Dude looks like a Weeble!
Romney, and his bluff-all-the-way-to-the-election strategy...
Do you really believe after all these years, that Romney would do a 360 on Trade?
After Bain Capital sent jobs to China all those years, Romney tells us he's getting the boxing gloves out now?
The truth is before this election - as today - Romney took full advantage of unfair trade practices with China.
Mitten's can't do both. He talks the talk, but then trips over his tongue when he trys to walk the walk.....

O&Joe 2012
Willard doesn't want to step out fully from behind his wall of secrecy on everything.
Afterall, he's a former CEO who doesn't have to tell the truth, just make money!
Willard, needs to baby step so that he won't fall down, we all know he doesn't care about lying consistently!
Speaking of walking...

..... away from your beloved DumbFux avatar??
IF this is the REAL Nasty DumbFux, that has taken down her vile, insulting, avatar, then I might start believing there is some hope for this country under President Romney.
IF this is a fake Nasty DumbFux, carry on. It's FUNNY.
Look who's back. The welfare farm subsidy lines must have been short today. Hope you gave a shout-out to Michelle Bachmann while waiting in that short line.
I'm surprised the man can talk the talk. His tongue must be exhausted after all the wound licking he has had to do over the last few days as his campaign blew up.
Oh god how can you be so damn clueless if Romney gets in where gonna be in another damn war are you insane i doubt that hope will ever come for America if Romney gets in
Hi feisty long time no see been about 4 or 5 months since i have been on and i can see nothing has changed much just normal Romney bots blathering the same old stuff
Feisty, my sweet, gentle, rarely said a curse word, grandma would likely say Romney walks as if he has a corn cob stuck where it shouldn't be. Sorry, no offense intended but seriously, Mitt walks funny.
“I will not wait until the last months of my presidency to stand up to China, or do so only when votes are at stake,” Romney said in the statement.
This is another "first day" promise in office that's not going to come to fruition. Spontaneous Mitt think been brash with words is the answer. Bain or Brain, I choose Brain.

Romney does give that impression doesn't he but it still amazes me how people can still think that Romney can walk on water despite everything that has happened
Willard is trying to get in front of October 3.......too late Willard, Mr. Lehrer will not allow you to waffle, so be careful about what you say now, concerning domestic policy.

he walks funny, how does Obama walk? Got a limp?
Jody,
Your Grama was a wise woman! ☺
Willard does not walk like a confident man...
I've been wondering about those baby steps for a while too, but thought better of even mentioning THAT. Frankly I think there's a broomstick up there somewhere.
Ouch! That had to leave a mark didn't it Willard?
Albany Joe, maybe if you complained about the ugly, hateful conservative anti-Obama avatars sometimes used on FR, then we might pay attention to your whining.
CA, President Obama has a purposeful, confident stride. Romney walks as if he's not sure he'll get there in time.
Annoyed, I know what you mean.
China has been pulling this crap for years, why is it so important now? Oh yeah....another promise to renege on. Thanks O.
Mitt walks like a baby/toddler with a diaper full of...well, you know what!
So the President says "I like to walk the walk not just talk the talk". Filing a complaint is one thing, accomplishing a result is another. Ok Mr. President, what about your promise to cut the deficit?
The President went on and on as to how bad deficit spending was. Without conditions of any kind to include any act of congress, the President vowed to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Well, this is the end of his first term. To keep the President's promise the federal deficit for this year, 2012, cannot exceed 229.27 billion dollars yet the President's own White House is predicting that the deficit will exceed 1.2 trillion dollars. The President also promised transparency. I want the President to explain what magic he is going to perform between now and the end of the fiscal year in order to keep his promise to the American people. Remember that the 2012 federal fiscal year ends at the end of the month.
With the federal government now more than 16 trillion dollars in debt, I estimate that the money the federal government is borrowing today will end up costing the tax payers more than 10 times the amount borrowed to repay over the next 180 years. That is just my estimate. I want the President to present a plan for repaying all of the money that it owes. The tax payers have a right to know how much all this federal borrowing is going to end up costing them.
The President needs to be reminded of some words of wisdom that were spoken back in March of 2006. The words are as true today as they were then.
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.
And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.
Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities. Instead,interest payments are a significant tax on all Americans–a debt tax that Washington doesn’t want to talk about. If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we would see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal policies.
Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
~ Senator B. H. Obama, March 2006
Obama does not like to "Talk the Talk" ? Someone please keep me from hysterically laughing all over this website. ROTFLMAO ! That is all Obama DOES .... talk, talk, talk .... pander for votes, attend a couple of fundraisers and talk, talk, talk some more !! If we could harness all the hot air coming from his pie-hole, why we would have a new energy source and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels !
Obama said he would cut the federal deficit in half during his first term .... totally HOT AIR as he has increased it over $5 trillion and has yet to have a budget.
Obama promised to close Gitmo ... only to realize that he had no where to send the prisoners.
Obama promised the Stimulus was there to supply funding for all those "shovel-ready" jobs ... only to later laugh about them not being so shovel-ready.
Obama talks about pulling jobs back from China ... but again, it is ALL TALK and no action.
Interesting. Obama criticizes the Chinese government for doing almost the same thing he did with G.M.
Kinda' makes you go, hmmmmm, doesn't it?
DEMOCRATS FOR ROMNEY 2012!
Jody, Iowa
no you wouldnt. You guys dont like anyone right of castro as I always say.
Jody, I'm sorry but the current President, Obama surrounds himself with rap artists and DJ's. The guy is more worried about his FB status than running a country. He may seem confident, but his abilities and solutions are dismal. You like high unemployment, lack of responsibility, anarchy, rooting for the enemy, high gas prices, poor GDP and a lack of leadership, this isn't the America for you. Quit trying to fundamentally change this country into a 3rd world nation of layabouts and humility
Seriously aging myself because I know what that is!!!! Well at least he won't fall down and can just weeble wobble his way back to his wonderful wife and out of politics!
jim,
[Obama said hewould cut the federal deficit in half during his first term .... totally HOT AIR as he has increased it over $5 trillion and has yet to have a budget.]
The debt increased $5 trillion - NOT the deficit !!
Since I have corrected you statement before … I think it would serve you well to stay away from any discussions on the debt and deficit until you become better informed on the difference because it is a big difference.
btw does anyone else notice the annoying tic that Romney has when he is speaking going back and forth back and forth like a water sprinkler or is just me
Debt != Deficit
In fact, Obama loves increasing the deficit so much, that his 2013 Budget Proposal cuts over $400 billion from it.
If Mittens wanted to PROVE he means what he says on China he could start by calling for a repeal of tax breaks for sending jobs offshore...
...but he won't do that, will he? In fact NO ONE in the Republican Party will do that.
proof? Obama doesnt cut anything except deals. TRANSPARENCY
Xabre
not to mention the small little detail that Obama has had the smallest increase in federal spending for the last 5 Presidents. just one of the many annoying details that get in the way
List of Obama actions on China trade since 2009:
Joe in Albany - regarding Ms. Fiesty''s avatar, put two and two together.
Ms PhinePhancy died the other day. She was a woman with a gentle soul and courage to speak her mind in a way that many on both sides of the discussion board appreciated. She used humor to make her points. She was a sports fan who enjoyed talking about her teams with anyone. She used a pink flamingo in her avatar.
There are currently several avatars that have been changed to include pink flamingos. I suspect that several of the ladies on this site that Ms Phancy was close to have changed their avatars to include pink flamingos to both honor and to mourn her. It's a gift to show those that were close to her that they still stand with her.
I think it's great.
Republicans blaming President Obama for the deficit and the debt is a conundrum. Who quadrupled the debt? Reagan and Bush 41. Who turned this country from a creditor nation to a debtor nation? Reagan. Who doubled the debt again? Bush 43....and guess what, Paul Ryan voted YEA on every single deficit and debt-busting UNFUNDED piece of legislation from 2001-2008. Where were all the conservative deficit and debt hawks during those years? Sleeping under a rock no doubt. I sure didn't read or hear a single republican legislator complain nor did I read any conservative FR posters complaints about it until after Jan 20, 2009.
Matthew, thank you, well said.
VOTE! Obama/Biden 2012. 4 more for 44!
oh ms PhinePhancy died that is sad news i enjoyed her posts she was a very nice person to chat with and she had a great sense of humor to me
may i ask if it isn't too much trouble what happened
maybe i will change my pic as well even though i am a guy :P
Matthew,
Thank you for taking the time to spell it out to the idiot from Albany! ;o)
I don't have the time or patience to respond to his garbage!
Annoyed,
She lost her hard fought battle against cancer last week!
Please join us, plenty of other "guys" have!
Feisty
thanks for telling me i have had people in my family die from cancer even my own mom (while we are not on good terms) is fighting lung cancer it is a hard thing to go through
one thing for sure is that PhinePhancy will live on in our memories
Joe in Albany-1902257
Joe, you are way off base, It is to honor Phinephancy who passed away from cancer.
This is a political blog, why does it matter what avatar anyone has. Not cool!
Annoyed,
I hear you, been there and done that with both of my parents! As for your Mom, spend every moment you can with her...
You won't regret it, I promise!
annoyedperson and others - please consider contributing to the cancer foundation of your choice or even better, donating your time. I suspect that Ms. Phancy would appreciate that. (I know I did when my Dad died and people shared their love of him with gifts to places and things that he believed in.)
Heck, tell them it's in honor of Ms. PhinePhancy and really confuse them. :)
Matthew: thank you. You said it better than I could.
Joe in Albany... I hope you feel foolish for being nasty. Wouldn't it just be easier to say something in a constructive way instead of having to be insulting and rude ? You might gain a few adherents to at least some of your arguments.
Maybe take a cue from Spanky who usually confines himself to coherent arguments, even if he is wrong.
BTW Joe,
A lot of people think the avatar is a kind and class act. Maybe this one time you can take a lesson from Fiesty.
Yea Feisty, Phine actually friend-ed me not long after I posted a few comments, she was a Great Lady and will be surely missed.
feisty thanks
unfortunately my mom lives in Arizona now so it will be hard to visit, and due to some circumstances i have a hard to being around her for any period of time (long story)
don't get me wrong i love my mom and would do anything for her it just is hard to be around her.
~Knight
Joe in Albany-1902257
Nothing wrong with honoring ones memory but Feisty's previous avatar is totally offensive and violates the COH that idiot Fisty likes to throw around when it suits its needs. Not that Joe needs my defense but he said nothing offensive about the recently departed and I think its deplorable of you people to now turn it into a politicized discussion.
You few that turned this into something it wasn't should feel like crap but I doubt you heartless trolls will.
Hospice is another excellent foundation to donate to!
They are true angels...
Annoyed,
I understand, I had rough patches with my own over the years... Thankfully, I did a little "growing up" and she did a little more "understanding"! ☺
Caesar Augustus
how so
Matthew - nice explanation of the Flamingos. I think I'm keeping mine up for a while in honor of Phine - as it appears a number of people are doing.
Feisty and the rest - Mitts doesn't just walk funny - everything movement he makes looks uncomfortable. He just doesn't appear to be comfortable in his own skin. I think it's very telling. People like that always appear to be less than honest and it comes through in every movement.
Obama/Biden 2012
Caesar Augustus,
While I do not agree with Fiesty's politics, the commetns he made were a personal attack on Fiesty. I did not see any comments that pertained to the story. You speak of heartless trolls, well......pot and kettle!
annoyedperson
Caesar Augustus
if you can't answer that on your own than I am certainly not going to entertain that debate.
Again
I personally attack most of the bullies in here Knight but stop with the naivety. The lefty gang banger mob mentality on here is definitely far more rampant than from opposing view posters. Im sure you'll be right there next time "Idiot from Albany" is incurred unwarranted. Pots and Kettles indeed Equite
well said - name calling, bashing, gets out of hand by many on here. A personal insult is really uncalled for, but it seems that some people get so flustered that it is really "all they got", I guess...
@Dennis the Menace, Ohio State "fan" ..... "since I have corrected YOU statement ....." blah, blah, blah, blah, blahhhhhhhhhh ......... Let me guess, you took remedial English along with the Ohio State football players ! People with your arrogance are really quite amusing ! Did you get free tatoos as well ?
Any way you care to slice it, dice it or dissect it, the National Debt has increased over $5 trillion during Obama's reign of fiscal insanity. Obozo has yet to have a budget passed ! All Obama has accomplished is to increase the debt load on future generations ... something he once criticized Bush about !
Obama, hypocrit in chief. Outsourced $2 Billion in electric car money to Finland (result = no American jobs, no electric cars, and an additional $2 Billion in US debt), and now wants to Give Egypt $1 Billion US tax dollars to purchase (outsource) German UBoats.
Egypt doesn't need German UBoats anyway. Egypt may need California dune buggies, however. They may be purchased right here from Cal's Dune Buggy Shoppe. No tax dollars. No trade deficits. One pound of dune buggy should be worth about 5 pounds of Egyptian fig bars, buyer pays freight. No government subsidies or middlemen.
That's probably why Obama is not trying very hard to help California workers, because the last thing they need is more of Obama's help.
Mr. President just keep yakkin' over there but please stay out of the way of business.
Sure Barack.....you walk the walk.......
Like those jobs GM is shipping to China in 2013.......that's the walk Detroit wants to hear!
Considering the number of 1st day promises most of the country is choosing to ignore with the current administration, I'm not sure why it matters what is said now. They can say anything they want, half say yeah, half boo, yet neither is giving any solutions that will fix the current mess.
Many of the comments are apparently a testament to how inadequate our education system is. Statistically many of these comments come from people who have attended and actually graduated from college. Therefore, they either skipped a whole lot of government classes or actually know better and are blinded by their partisan ideology.
In our system the "president proposes and the congress disposes." President Obama has no authority to spend $1 unless the congress grants the president that authority. All debt and all deficits were approved by both the House of Representatives and by the Senate. If you are unhappy with this you only have your three members of congress to blame -- and quite frankly yourself for voting for those three people in the first place.
There is one thing, regarding the debt/deficit I'm curious about: Back in early 2009, right after President Obama took office, what would you have done? Propose, lobby for and sign the stimulus package or stand by and do nothing? It seems to me that a recovery (albeit slow) trumps depression. But that's just my point of view.
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
I'll bet you couldn't walk any better if you had a hand (or two) stuck up your azz either. Come on Feisty, it's gotta be uncomfortable walking while someone is pulling strings so you can talk. Show some compassion!
So President Obama has quit crawling on his hands and knees to Harry and Nancy! Maybe we will here himtalk about putting all the illegals across the boarder (giving illegal orders to OUR law enforcement agencies) balancing the budget, Harry get the bills out of your back pocket, and getting rid of the illegal Obama Care (This is is not a Tax) If it is not a tax than it IS illegal. You heard the SC.
Sorry Obama, but that's all you do is just talk. Radical extremists break into a US Embassy and tear up the US Flag and replace it with an AQ flag. What does Obama do? Nothing. He doesn't even mention the incident.
I bet AQ laughed like crazy after the incident. Can you imagine how proud they must be? These guys got into an embassy representing the most powerful country in the world and the President of that country says nothing.
Then this same President has the nerve to stand at a podium and say that he is all action. Obama, tell that to AQ.
OOOOOOH! A complaint to the WTO. And that's going to do what? Nothing. More symbolism instead of actual substance. It will probably satisfy the Obots but it won't do a thing for our manufacturing and trade.
Go get them Mr. President.
Nope. I just wish Obama would have at least mention the incident. He was too afraid to even do that.
We don't have trillions of dollars lying around. We're broke because of Obama's spending habits and we are getting more into debt everyday!
Today because of Obama the US takes one step forward and then 3 steps back. We are fighting a losing battle. One job created and then losing 3 jobs will get us nowhere.
Romney has no vision, no core values (except to win) and no plans that he is sharing with voters (execpt not to release how his taxes might be affected by what he is not telling us).
However, Obama's response to Romney's charge of pulling a "campaing season trade case" - that this World Trade Commission complaint by Obama has been months in the making - is lame. I mean how long does it take to draft a complaint?
jimmy in philly - nowhere on this board is there anything to do with Chicago Schools so why would Feisty comment on the Chicago Teachers' Strike? What does that have to do with anything. That is a city issue and is being handled - appropriately- at the city level.
You really need to try to keep up. You're comment has no place here
Obama/Biden 2012
Your comment not you're !
True but how many jobs have been lost since Obama took office?
Who do you trust? The guy that visits a chinese factory sees how the workers are being treated like slaves, comments on how badly they are being treated to the factories manager, but stills buys the factory or the guy that did do any of that?
Nice spin but it's not going to work. The recent Middle East fiasco is important and Obama should talk about all of it instead of picking and choosing.
He should have spoken about the Embassy in Egypt right after it happened.
Too bad so many people hate the United States. What is ironic is that during the 2008 campaign Obama criticized Bush so many times about people hating us. He blamed it on Bush. Well, what can Obama say now? More people hate us now than four years ago.
More Republican lies!
NY Times, Sep 11, 2009
In a break with the trade policies of his predecessor, President Obama announced on Friday night that he would impose a 35 percent tariff on automobile and light-truck tires imported from China.
China.org.cn, Dec 30, 2009
The US Commerce Department said on Tuesday that it has set preliminary anti-dumping duties (AD) on imports of steel grating from China...The Commerce Department said it set a preliminary anti-dumping duty of 14.36 percent on four Chinese producers or exporters in the steel grating investigations.
Washington Post, Apr 10, 2010
The Commerce Department imposed penalties Friday of up to 99 percent on imports of oil field pipe from China, the latest in a growing list of duties slapped on Chinese products found to be unfairly priced.
Reuters, Apr 28, 2011
A U.S. trade panel gave final approval on Thursday to duties ranging up to more than 400 percent on around $500 million of aluminum products from China

The U.S. Commerce Department on Friday said it had slapped preliminary anti-dumping duties ranging up to nearly 83 percent on over $100 million of wood flooring from China to offset unfair pricing practices.
LA Times, May 18, 2012:
The Obama administration ordered tariffs of 31% and higher on solar panels imported from China, escalating a simmering trade dispute with China over a case that has sharply divided American interests in the growing clean-energy industry.
There are other examples. These took about 5 minutes of googling.
C'mon, Romney! You and Bain are just too heavily invested in China to stand up to them. Your only conscious is your wallet!
Fiesty,
Are his mom jeans he hikes up under his armpits too tight?
Guess you forgot when Obama set that fashion trend when he threw out that first pitch a couple years ago, remember?
Wow, it took Obama only THREE AND A HALF YEARS to wake up and start to clamp down on China!
.
Way to go, Barry! So after six months of attacking Romney for telling you to get tough with China, and saying that it would be a bad idea, now Barry wakes up and starts getting tough with China.
And it only took him THREE AND A HALF YEARS to wake up!
But this is too little, too late!
.
OBAMA HAS FAILED!
TIME TO KICK HIM OUT!
You heard the talk...
HERE IS THE WALK:
http://www.tpp2012.com/
They are lying to us again!
"On his first day on the job, Romney is not going to put himself on the immediate defensive with the world's second largest economy," said one top financial industry executive who strongly supports Romney. "It is unclear what China's initial reaction would be [to Romney's proposed actions]. But none of the scenarios are positive," the executive added. "Will they ban some of our exports? Maybe. Will there be crippling tariffs? Maybe. It would set into motion a very unpredictable and possibly very damaging series of events."
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81254.html?hp=f1
Romney is so confused on the world stage that he's either insulting our allies or grabbing his ankles. Though he wouldn't admit to it, Netanyahu relishes the idea of Romney in the White House - just like the billionaires trying desperately to buy the election, Netanyahu has an agenda and is hoping for a big payoff.
I doubt George Soros is anxious for Governor Romney to become president. Soetoro-Obama is his boy and sock puppet.
Uh, Dennis? You DO kow the difference between news and opinion, do you not?
And, by the way, Romney comprehends the exact nature of our relationship with the Chinese, while it is clear that Obama does not.
See, WE are their biggest customer. What do you suppose would happen to their economy if, say, we yanked Most Favored Nation trade status from them? Hint- it wouldn't be good.
The problem with Obama is that he understands as much about that aspect of business as he does about any other- which is to say, nothing.
That's why Obama has failed at that, the same way he's failed on the economy, the debt, and foreign policy.
Who is? Well except RWNJs... like you.
It's okay for the Koch brothers and Grover Norquist to tell Romney what to do but not okay for Soros to tell Obama what to do. This, if true, seems a
tadlot hypocritical to me.Dennis is also a person that thinks Obama doesn't deserve any critisim and its all GOP/Bush's fault. Tell me Left of Castro's, Why do you guys make it seem the Office of the Presidency has been vacated for 4 years? Oh wait, "We got Bin Laden and GM is Alive!" What a great and successful 4 years has been.
Uh, Dennis? You DO kow the difference between news and opinion, do you not?
And, by the way, Romney comprehends the exact nature of our relationship with the Chinese, while it is clear that Obama does not.
Snooky - Speaking of opinion....
NJNB -
What would happen? Corporations like Wal-Mart that make a ton of money off things manufactured in China would not be too happy, and neither would the stock market.
China and other countries would retaliate with off-setting tariffs that would hurt our exports.
American companies that have invested heavily in opening up the Chinese markets would lose their investments.
To make the claim that Romney is some kind of business guru based on his years as a equity capitalist is specious at best. Romney specialized in using leveraged debt to acquire undervalued companies, which he would then load up with debt in order to extract hefty management fees.
While this was highly profitable to Romney and his shareholders, it doesn't require great leadership or a keen sense of how business works. Romney never had to develop long-term growth strategies, resolve labor issues, deal with changes in the market, or satisfy stockholders.
I can see how Repoublicans would admire his business accomplishments - Romney was an expert at borrowing massive amounts of money that someone else had to pay back. In fact, Romney built his fortune by using a favorable federal tax code to subsidize his company's debt.
No Joe,
Where did I say or even imply that the Politico article was news? Why would it be considered anything other than an opinion especially when it comes from a person not involved with policy or legislation?
Mitt Romney knows no more than our President’s team {period}. That was made evident by Jon Huntsman.
The fact is he will not do what he is saying because it would be a disaster for our economy and our citizens. He just wants to look like he is flexing his muscles just like The Donald.
You really don't understand at all, do you?
If MFN was yanked from China, there would be a short period of dislocation- and then, goods from India, Sri Lanka, and South America would fill the gaps. Worse, however, would be the economic dislocation that would occur in China- with millions out of work, and a tinderbox ready to explode.
In China's history, revolutions occur immediately on the heels of economic slowdowns. You may be unaware of that history- but their leadership is not.
Obama seems also to be completely unaware of said history- therefore, completely inept at handling trade negotiations with them.
NJNB -
It is obvious from your simplistic response that if there is anything you know less about than politics it is economics.
You are advocating replacing one unfair trade partner with many others, therefore wiping out all the political and economic capital that we have invested in China and increasing the complexity of the situation.
Oh, and just ignore the human suffering that would result from this "economic dislocation" and the subsequent revolution. Also ignore that in response the Chinese government would be driven further away from the path to democracy, and be turned into a true military foe.
That's exactly what we need, a well-armed pissed off country with nuclear capability and millions of people who blame America for their economic problems.
Are you a foreign-policy advisor to Mitt Romney? That plan sounds right up his alley, Republicans alway like to find a "big stick" to poke in a hornet's nest.
No Joe,
I, by far and away, trust Jon Huntsman’s opinion about how awful Romney’s proposed China economic policies would be for the US and the world.
no joe: you assume that President Obama is not aware of the history of China. On the contrary, he is very aware of it. That is why he is working through the WTO instead of just imposing punitive tariffs (as China has done.)
China is also fully aware that the House is ruled by the Tea Party, which does not allow any kind of increase in taxes. Since import tariffs are taxes the Tea Party will not allow them to be raised for any reason.
I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad - no joe talking about the difference between opinion and fact - when all she ever posts is opinion - usually the Fox opinion. Not a fact ever comes across in her posts. LOL
Obama/Biden 2012
And you post nothing but your opinion which you magically elevate to "fact".
The President is hypocrit in chief. Calls Bain Capital an outsourcer? Not true in the first place. But look at Obama. Outsources $2 Billion US tax payer dollars to Finland electric cars that didn't run. Now outsources $1 Billion US tax payer dollars cash to Egypt for purchase of German UBoats! There is no end to the kind of bad choices Obama makes and he spins everything to put blame on the other guy every time. It's smokescreen.
And another thing, why on earth does Egypt want German UBoats? Why doesn't Obama suggest Egypt purchase California dune buggys? No tax dollars, just cash or trade. Available today from Cal's Dune Buggy Shoppe, cash or trade. If Egypt is so darned poor they got no cash, trade 5 pounds fig bars for each pound of dune buggy. Buyers pay freight.
Scott - your claims on outsourcing are false and have been debunked many times.

Really, Obama? The outsourcing line is getting very old and tired. *yawn* “Ohio, you can’t stand up to China when all you’ve done is send them our jobs,” Yes. Because anyone with half a brain really thinks that's "all" Romney has done. Sigh. Obama CLEARLY has NO IDEA what it's like to work with businesses if he uses lines like that. Can we please get Romney in there to help get business back up and running (and hiring)?
Romney/Ryan 2012 - A New Hope
And what is that grand old plan? An executive order demanding businesses hire? At least Romney can proclaim "He Built That Executive Order".
RedDevPS
Since you lefties have a Bag O excuses, what's Obama's again? GOP, BUSH, CHINCHILLAS?
'AMERICA, YOU DIDNT BUILD THAT!'
Soetoro-Obama knows how to COLLECT a check though!
No!
Caesar-
Still beating that dead horse?
How is that any different from what Romney said at the 2002 Winter Olympics?
Paul Ryan - The Defict? I Built That!
Romney's plan to get business hiring again. Free Trade Agreements. Most of the time, those same Free Trade Agreements are designed to outsource good paying jobs from the US to other countries. It was a really nice try of you to get rhetoric in that has no factual basis. What has Obama done in his 4 years? He has helped the Private Sector save or create over 24 million jobs. What has Romney ever done? He created a company that bought bad companies, then tore those companies apart and renamed them, finally putting the costs of buying those companies back into the company, of which many eventually have filed bankruptcy over.
TNSEVOL
Caesar-
get back to me when you guys stop beating yours.
RUSSIA = STATE BUILT ATHLETES
USofA = NOT STATE BUILT ATHLETES
See the Difference
BTW tell Sears/Roebucks they didnt build that but TNS when did the Fed funded roads start again? I know the answer do you?
Caesar-
You failed to answer the question as to how Romney's speech about Olympic athletes is any different from President Obama's speech.
The speech did not discuss just roads and bridges, but the American principles that help people achieve their dreams and goals:
Caesar, I don't really think you know the answer, because you keep asking the wrong question.
The difference is that Americans help eachother. Obama insinuates government. Re-read that speech. It talks nothing of American exceptionalism, no individualism. one line that you emphasise does. wow.
And Obama's plan is?............
(((crickets)))
simple. spend
What's mittens plan? ( silence) He more worried about keeping his tax records secret than an actual plan on how to kick start the economy. If anything the Reps will get back to work just to try and prove the issue was with Obama when in fact their voting record in congress shows otherwise.
If republicons actually cared about America and Americans they would repeal their law that gives huge tax cuts to corporations that export American jobs. But they have not and they will not. They are not patriots, but Fascists.
Bain was a pioneer of outsourcing and that steaming pile of mitt was it's CEO and sole owner then.
The Democrats tried to repeal that anti America republicon law but the republicons filibustered them not once, but twice!
Are you anti-American republicons all wearing your American flag lapel pins?
Romney, you are losing.
It's like the little boy who cried wolf one too many times. How many times has Romney attacked Obama with statements that later turned out not to be true? I've lost count.
Can't count past three? Remember the Obama approved ad about the steelworker whose wife was killed by Romney? Get a grip. Soetoro-Obama is the Liar-in-Chief.
Off the top of my head, here are three claims Romney has made that turned out not to be true:
Chief -
You've almost topped that total in one post!
1) The ad was NOT approved by President Obama. It was developed by a PAC, not the Obama Campaign.
2) The ad did NOT say Romney killed the steelworker's wife - it merely pointed out they lost their insurance, and that later she died of cancer.
3) PRESIDENT Barack Obama is the Commander-in-Chief.
Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!
And how many times has Romney attacked Obama and then Obama turns around and does the very thing Romney attacked him for a few days later. Case in point, Today, Obama announced an inquiry into China's trade practices. Once again, lead from behind. And Mitt was the one to stir it up. Do I detect a little, just a smidgeon of anxiety in the Obama camp?
Why does Obama pander to Muslim extremists and why did our embassy apologize for a film that has conveniently been deemed the cause of the riots ? Funny how this just happens to occur on 9/11 after Obama continues to spike the football over "we got Bin Laden" !
At the end of the day, Romney was correct ... the U.S. had no business apologizing ! That is all Obama knows how to do ... to lead from behind !
You can stop whining anytime now. You RWNJs hate the fact that Obama and the rest of the Dems have a spine and they are beating you at your own game.
Wrong! Romney and the GOP are desperate. Case in point all of the GOP rats are starting to look for the I told you so exit.
What???? Surely you jest.
Nope. The S.S. Weather Vane is rudderless and is taking on water fast. Mitt is doing a better job of shooting holes in his boat the Dems ever could.
jim -
Please point out to me where any statement from either the US Embassy in Egypt or the Obama Administration contained any words of apology:
The very definition of "Apology" is an expression of remorse or regret, an admission of guilt, or asking for forgiveness. I fail to see where any of that occured.
If "condemn" equals "apologize" then why did Mitt Romney apologize for Todd Akin's Rape comments?
I am disgusted that while our US Embassy was still under physical attack by a mob of angry Egyptians they were verbally attacked by Mitt Romney.
I CONDEMN this act of political opportunism and anyone who puts their political party ahead of their country.
TNSEVOL - he can't since we all know an apology wasn't there. This is just his usual posting of the GOP lies. It's all he has!
Obama/Biden 2012
Because Obama has been so honest up to this point, right?
jim - you're a liar. There was NO apology. This has been debunked over and over again. The fact that you decided to ignore the truth because it doesn't fit your lying agenda says everything about you! As usual - you just spout lies!
Obama/Biden 2012
And BTW, Obama's declaration today about the investigation into China's "practices", still has to pass muster with the WTO ( That's World Trade Organization for you libs who don't pay attention beyond the "executive mandate" by your hero), to mean a damned thing going forward. Six months to a year for that verdict to come in (source CBS News with Scott Pelley tonight at 6:30). So wait for it. And I wonder how many of the supposed other six he has proposed have passed muster with them? Any of you libs care to answer?
Just another reason that we need fact-checkers at the presidential debates.
signon.org/sign/have-fact-checkers-at
Give us the facts and not the spin!
Speaking of fact checking, the video of Santorum declaring the GOPTP are all idiots was priceless. Then to boot, on Mitchell Reports, the self-admitted dumb-blond, Alice Stewart, repeated the non-intellectual claims of Obama being the 'appeasement/apology' president. Three times, Andrea told dumb-blond Stewart she was wrong, but the dumb-blond doubled down, tripled down, and quadrupled down, proving beyond a doubt, Santorum is right - the party is comprised of a bunch of IDIOTS.
A final thanks to Santorum, we can now say, without dispute, that Romney/Ryan are IDIOTS.
You can say that because you are a partisan hack ... but who really pays any attention to your contrived "logic" ?
Since Rmoney lies a verified 71% of the time, it will be fun watching that Mittwit defending those lies.
The same goes for Ayn Ryan. How will he defend his lies, like the ones in his speech at the RNC.
While the republicans do everything they can to protect the tax cuts for moving our jobs overseas, Romney promises to cut the taxes for money made overseas.
Yes Romney is going to be so tough.
Romney even outsources government call center jobs to India while governor. Not to mention he outsourced Olympic uniforms while saving the Olympics with tax payer money all by himself with no help from anyone.
Bain got rich outsourcing jobs overseas and now he wants you to believe he would turn on those that made him so rich as he campaigns for more tax cuts for the rich.
Just where are those tax returns that show what an honorable man Romney is? As if any of us have any doubt as to why he won't let the American people see just how he got so rich all by himself without any help from anyone, much less how the tax cuts and his overseas accounts have made him richer while increasing the deficit.
VOTE FOR AMERICA....VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Yep......GM is shipping tens of thousands of jobs to China next year.
I suppose that one will get blamed on Bush too, huh?
All this talk of Bain outsourcing... you do know that billions of retirement investment funds for Police, Fireman, Teachers are in Bain don't you. Funny, the very people that supposedly vote to support unions for civil service workers also bash a private enterprise company like Bain. But those very orginizations are invested in BAIN. You liberals are funny (and ignorant).
That's false, Laker Steve - http ://www .factcheck.org/2012/06/is-gm-becoming-china-motors/
GM is building cars there to SELL there. These jobs never existed in the US. This is not outsourcing where jobs are taken from the US and shipped overseas to make goods to sell back to the US
GM is still Detroit based and the US is profiting from these sales.
List of Obama actions on China trade since 2009:
It was sooooo good I had to repost it!
Book em Danno...
Owe, that had to hurt. President Obama is absolutely right. Trouble with Romney is that he doesn't know which way to walk without playing rock, paper, scissors with one of his advisers.
As President Obama said about Romney at the Democratic convention, "you might not be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you can't visit the Olympics without insulting our closest ally."
Like!
But of course, you would rather have Obama kiss the proverbial a$$e$ of these extremists and toss them a billion or two in the process ! Perhaps, Romney could take lessons from Obama in "bowing down" ? After all, Obama has MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE doing that !
By the way, Romney was correct about weak security at the Olympics as their contractor for providing security services was unable to fulfill the total requested amount ! The Brits later realized this and brought in the troops.
In Egypt, Obama will not issue live ammo to their security detail ... he might OFFEND someone !
weak security at the Olympics my god they had anti-air missile launchers on the roofs of citizen houses how much more do you need
I am sure missile launchers will be very effective with Muslim terrorists moving into a crowd with a hidden bomb ! Those missiles are not very "selective" when fired into a crowd.
Again, annoying one, they company hired to provide security came up short and they brought in troops !
Read up on it junior !!
I wonder if the Indonesian cleared his comments with Valerie Jarrett, Michelle and Hillary Clinton before he made them? Someone check for bruising.
Chief, what exactly is in that peace pipe you are smoking?
Chief, ditto what Al in Visalia said. Guess Indonesia is the latest GOP southern strategy, dog whistle since the Kenyan whistle didn't work.
They have blown the birther whistle so many times the pea disintegrated.
How about the video going viral where Rmoney calls 47% of Americans worthless because they do not pay income taxes. Those 47% include children and retirees. If one does the math they would find the actual number to be 18%. And that 18% do pay payroll taxes, which makes up 40 % of the federal government's income.
That steaming pile of Mitt doesn't like Americans any better than he likes the English.
Mitt and his puppet, Ryan have said so many lies/untruths/fabrications, flip flops and cart wheels...who knows what they say is true? Obama could have walked a lot further, if Congress didn't block his way all the time. Its pathetic how the teabaggers and GOP are so mad at the dems, they will hurt the country despite the good that this administration could do if given the chance. After Mitt's term as govenor, his state fell to 47th in job creation. Can we afford to have this power hungry fool as president? I think not.
Walk the Walk back to Kenya
We could all take a walk if we are not an original native of this land.
Romney could go back to Massachusetts, except they don't support him there, well, then, he can go back to his compound in California, oops, ditto, then why doesn't he retreat to his summer home in New Hampshire, uh oh, polls show he is losing in NH, then Michigan, where he was born, scratch that, they don't want him...Utah, then? Yes, let Romney walk back to Utah.
We here in Utah don't want him either ..... Know quite a few of the "brethren" that are very discouraged as to how he has performed on the national stage.
Obama/Biden 2012
Layton-3733410,
Romney, from what I am to understand, is supposed to be part of the AUB Denomination. (Apostolic United Brethren) If I'm not mistaken (and I shouldn't be as I have written a 200 page discourse on Mormonism itself), they believe in some Socialism for the betterment of their society, such as collectively "owning" property and other such things.
If Romney is a member of this sect, wouldn't it be fair to state that he is being hypocritical, at best? Since Romney's sect believes in the betterment of society through shared labour etc, and he touts that he doesn't think Socialism of any kind works, isn't that a smack in the face of Mormonism as a whole?
Birther nonsense. The tin foil hats are over on aisle Fox...
bettermsnbc . . . .
I think you accurately depicted what the Mormons based their doctrine on. However, as I'm sure you know, the betterment and sharing of labor, etc., is exclusive to members. All of the rest of us are gentiles and to be excluded and ridiculed. No worries, I don't want to go to Kolob when I die with all of the hypocrites.
Must have been some discourse!
Back to the Mormon bs ? But if someone were to question whether Hussein was a closet Muslim, you guys would wet yourselves in anger and declare intolerance from the right !
Jim .... reading comprehension is obviously NOT your strong suit. The Mormonism mentioned was due to two things ...
a) Utah doesn't want Romney back here, and
b) The Mormon religion as pointed out by bettermsnbc is very much into socialism for themselves
By the way, Mitt Romney has addressed his faith and has used it as a source to try and make people believe he is somewhat of a human being. Your comment about the President is so old and stale ... try and come up with something relevant if possible.
Layton - you're talking to a wall. jim won't get it because he doesn't want to understand. It undercuts his hatred!
Obama/Biden 2012
SpeekingInsanity talks about hatred ? LOL ! Is this before or after her diarrhea-like tirade of calling people "idiots", "morons", "gutter trash" .... yes, we see "liars" above, "having no sanity at all".... "filth", etc, etc ad nauseam. I am sure your parents would be so proud of your ongoing POTTY MOUTH !
The bottom line is you self-proclaimed "progressives" are actually quite "regressive" when it comes to religious tolerance. Liberals have attacked Mormons (because Romney is a member of that faith) and Catholics because they don't like government shoving birth control issues down their throat ... which go against their religious beliefs and is a faux health issue.
The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" has NO clue on Foreign Policy, and what very little he does know he has picked up from "Chump-Change-Cheney." Again! "Romulian Romney" has NO idea of what he is talking about when it comes to relations with Russia. His "Alien" and lack of thoughts are that of a politician in 1970, and not in 2012. Putin of Russia has even labeled the "Speculator and Chief" as ignorant, not Presidential, not caring, and has no clue of how far relations between the US and Russia have come. Putin obviously has NO respect for "Romulian Romney" and his still living in the Cold War World of "Alien" Foreign Policy. The GOP/RNC Tea Begger "Zombie" wants to spend even more on defense, and bomb Iran. Hey Romulian? How is our nation going to pay for your Foreign Policy of "Radioactive Puke??" Our nation still has to pay off the war "Bush Wars" in Iraq and Afganistan. Our nation still has to medically, mentally, and phsycally pay to injured military veterans coming back from the illegal "Bush Wars." The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" wants to expand US military adventures in even more Middle East Nations! How would our nation pay for such a military expansion? What US Military "Boots On The Ground" would even be around? The US Miltiary Forces are too tired, too stretched, and too injured on many levels. Diplomatic negociations on all levels with our allies must come first. NOT LAST! The "Brainless Bush Doctrine" was and still is a huge failure, and GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" wants to bring those same failed policies back. WOW!
Romney wants to be President Retroactively
Romney bases his foreign policy on Dr Strangelove.
Bull$hit followed by more bull$hit ... Obama's foreign policy is to apologize and try to look good to the muslim world. Romney believes we deal from strength, Obama deals from weakness !
obama is a pillar of good, who stands up for american jobs and shames china......oh wait, I just remembered something. Isn't this the same president obama that sent the dalai lama packing out the back door, the servant's door to the white house, and gives china a grand state dinner? yep, that's him. And just like w/ president bush, when he did the same.....oh wait. He did not do the same, he treated the dalai lama w/ the respect and dignity that he deserves. Those are the FACTS. obama is a big phony. EVERYTHING he does is for the campaign, including having all of you worthless "news" outlets who have made it your mission to re elect this abject failure. It is almost fun to watch everyone on your network kiss this man's ring. But why??? What has he done? What has he been successful at? He rolls over for the muslim brotherhood and they laugh at him. Putin loves obama, when compared w/ romney. Doesn't that tell you something? Is Egypt our friend? Well, not in the "legal definition", eh, er ah yea, that too. And then there is sherriff joe. Sent to rub elbows w/ the people.....I mean sent to give massages to total strangers. Watch out, sherriff joe back.
So sick of all the BS being tossed back and forth.. Has ANYONE heard either of their plans to get us back on track? Will they kill tax breaks for outsourcing jobs and get jobs back home? will they give tax breaks to the real middle class, the people who do most of the actual work in this country? Will we be able to start manufacturing things again in this country? We need to stop outsourcing and bring the work back here.
The republicons passed a law giving huge tax cuts to corporations that export American jobs. That is the centerpiece of their jobs program.
They care about it so much that when the Democrats tried to repeal that anti-American law, the republicons filibustered them not once but twice! first in 2010 and again just this last July.
Ouch!!! Keep hitting Mitt Romney in the gut!! He does not have a plan! He did not accomplish anything as a governor, and was a lousy businessman!!
And Obama's plan is?............
(((crickets)))
And what is Obama's plan .... more of the same failed policies ? The only things Obama wants to do are raise taxes, redistribute the wealth and blame everyone else for his failures ! He hates Israel and will not support them if Iran or any other Muslim country were to attack.
The only reason this is not clearer now, he still needs the jewish vote to win Florida.
Right Tommy, no plan.... pick one.....

The President says, "I like to walk the walk not just talk the talk". Well what about all of those promises that the President made and to date has not kept. For example the President promised to go over the health care bill, "line by line" with my congressman and that all proceedings would be shown on CSPAN. When are these promised broadcasts scheduled to begin?
umm, you those 97% promises that he has attempted to keep or has kept. (source Politifact)
According to Politifact Obama made 508 campaign pledges. He has kept 37 percent and has failed to keep 16 percent. The rest are still TBD. A 16% broken promise rate is nothing to brag about. After all a promise is a promise. If one cannot keep a promise then one should not make the promise in the first place. For example the President said that the White House dog would be a mutt. "like me", from a shelter yet the dog they got is a pure bread that has never set foot in a shelter. The President is suppose to be the most powerful man in the free world yet he cannot keep his word on something as trivial as the White House dog. Obama says that sound good at the time but in reality have little real meaning.
You heard the talk...
HERE IS THE WALK:
http://www.tpp2012.com/
They are lying to us again!
Romney touts that he will institute more Free trade agreements with other countries. Since he admits this readily in his e-book, shouldn't he at least quit being double minded? Either you want free trade Agreements, or you want to take a tougher stance on them. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Free Trade agreements don't work like that. I, for one, don't think Free Trade agreements help with the US economy at all. As a matter of fact, tariffs actually made the US products more competitive here in the US as it allowed for higher wages within the US.Without those vital tariffs, the working class must not make up the revenue with increased taxes, or the government must shrink itself to reapportion the revenue collected. The latter won't work, because too many politicians aren't wanting to cut the right things. Taxes won't work because those same politicians won't raise taxes to readjust for the decreased revenue from Free Trade Agreements. What to do? The easiest thing in the US is to mandate a New Constitutional Amendment that repeals free trade agreements which would allow for the better paying jobs to either return, or we have to find new innovative ideas.
"But today the White House insisted the complaint was not politically motivated."
LOL....of course, the Journ-O-Listers at First Read dont add to this statement ...they take the word of their favored candidate, that is the end of the story
Romney's positions, by contrast, are routinely challenged in First Read news articles...
Romney's positions are also routinely challenged intellectually.
Bob,
FR is the least of Romney's worries. If you ask most people on the street they would even be able to tell what First Read is. FR is for us politcal junkies. Let's face it Romney is Romney's problem.
bob:What Romney positions....he has none.
And what's is Obama's plan? Anyone?
(((crickets)))
They can't answer laker Steve, because they don't know ... libbies are satill buying into the vagueness of "Hope and Change". Obama's menu of plans for his next term is like warmed-over hash that did not work the first time. Meanwhile, the national debt keeps soaring.

Since China’s Government illegally subsidize their auto parts Industry, to out-bet the competition in the United States, Republican nominee, Mitt Romney feels he can get along with China better. That is because he and Bain Capital have been doing the same of being subsidized by our Government to keep their companies open. He and Bain Capital made a lot of money for their selves on Corporate Welfare, at the expense of later having close down or sell the companies burden with debts.
Obama: "It’s not right; it’s against the rules; and we will not let it stand.” Right. As though he's done ANYTHING punative to ANY foreign government. I'd love to see him do one tiny thing to oppose China, but there's no time for him to do it, and he wouldn't if there were. I mean he's had 4 years to reach the goals he promised us he'd reach, and he's still blaming Bush. L-O-S-E-R.
Romney visited a factory in China that has the workers living in barracks surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers.
He praised the factory managers on running such a good operation.
This is Rmoney's vision for America.
Obama and his team need to be very careful regarding China and discussions about outsourcing:
What a moron.....Is Obama really saying the USA does not supplement American auto workers.......FAIL
Obozo talks more BS on top of walking through his own BS. The morons who announed the time line for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan now see our troops getting shot in the back by these radical islamic nuts! We trained these imbeciles so they can kill our troops! Obama is to blame for this blunder as well as many of his giant stupid moves. Get our troops the hell out of this miserable piece of wasteland and let these morons protect themselves!
If they don't have enough training, tough let them get overran by the scum Taliban! Stop all foreign aid to Karzai and the other islamic extremists idiots and save the taxpayers here some money. We are going to need every cent because of the idiot-in-chiefs massive spending!
Get Obozo and crew out of office in Nov along with his stupid left wing demorats! Tell Iran we are going to wipe them off the map if they do not stop their BS nuclear program.
We will need every red cent for our military and our defense because we need to show the world we are going to be the toughest dog in the fight and they better stop their support of terrorist acts against our country.
Tell Israel we will be with them all the way!! If the liberal morons in this country do not like it, tough, move to Yemen!! For the lousy athiests out there this country was founded on our belief in God, if you do not like this, move to Iran!! Shut up and support this country and its foundation, freedom of religion, and constitution! For those who do not believe in GOD that is your right but we don't want to hear your BS about those who do!!
rick colo. Speaking of bull$hit your spewing it all over.
walks the walk... interesting statement, and looking at data from jobs and economy suggest what walk exactly? not a good one imo. Another thing occurred to me while talking with some folks about politics... All this rich corporation talk, and outsourcing talk the dems and libs like to toss around - I really hope none of them use an Apple product like an iPhone or iPad that was made by one of the most capitalist corporations in history and outsources the assembly of 350+ million devices...or you risk being a hypocrite.

Thank GOD the President doesn't want to emulate GW!
“Ohio, you can’t stand up to China when all you’ve done is send them our jobs,” Obama said. “You can talk a good game, but I like to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.”
So why has Ohio done nothing but send China their jobs while under President Obama's watch?
They have been sending jobs overseas since NAFTA began! Gonna blame Obama for that too?
"Obama hits Romney on China"...holy crap, I thought Obama was president. Obama is "crazy making" again.
