Obama pledges to return jobs to the US as he and Biden ding Romney for sending jobs overseas
By Associated Press, Published: June 25 | Updated: Tuesday, June 26, 5:58 PM
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden unleashed a back-to-back assault Tuesday on Republican challenger Mitt Romney, re-emphasizing Democratic assertions that Romney as a venture capitalist sent U.S. jobs overseas and paid no heed to the impact on American workers.
Youve got to give Mitt Romney credit, Biden said while campaigning in Iowa. Hes a job creator in Singapore, China, India.
Obama, who was fundraising in Atlanta and Miami, cast his Republican rival as the type of wealthy investor whose only goal was making money no matter the cost.
His basic vision is one in which if wealthy investors like him, folks at the very top are freed up from any kind of regulations, if they are maximizing their profits, even if they are polluting more, or offshoring jobs or avoiding taxes or busting union, whatever the strategy is if they are doing well, then everybody else is automatically doing well, Obama told a crowd of Atlanta donors.

(31,849 posts)2. From the article ...
Biden made note of news reports that Bain took over firms that sent jobs to China and India and opposed union efforts to increase wages and improve benefits. The Romney campaign has argued that the reports arent accurate and dont take into account how work done overseas supports U.S. exports.
You gotta love the defense:
"We didn't off-shore jobs done by American workers; but if we did (and you can prove it), it's a good thing because over shoring supports U.S. exports."
Hello ... Mitt "some of my best friends own companies" Romney, U.S. exports of products produced off-shore IS EXACTLY WHAT IS THE PROBLEM ... the OWNERS MAKE MONEY BUT NOT THE FORMER EMPLOYEES!
