Obama Campaign Hits Flip Romney’s Chinese Connection

A new ad from the Obama Campaign hits Flip Romney where it hurts – in China. Yes, China, where Romney has made millions of dollars from outsourcing American jobs for cheap labor and a huge profits.

The Associated Press reports;

The 30-second spot opens with a clip of Romney during a 2011 Republican primary debate. He says “the Chinese are smiling all the way to the bank taking our jobs and taking a lot of our future. And I am not willing to let that happen.”

A narrator responds that Romney “made a fortune letting it happen.”

The Obama ad refers to a newspaper account about the role Romney’s firm played with companies that were “pioneers” in helping outsource jobs. It pointed to one business that said it was a “one-stop shop for their outsource requirements.”

“Mitt Romney’s not the solution. He’s the problem,” the narrator says.

Chris Christie Is A Real Bad Man… Clutching His Ice Cream Cone

While cruising down the boardwalk in the popular vacation town of Seaside Heights, NJ., Republican governor Chris Christie was  met by one of those pesky Corporations… ah… people. A man who had the nerve to interrupt Mr. Christie and his ice-cream cone with a question.

This unbelievable act by the man to ask a public politician a question caused Chris Christie to stop licking on his cone, a very dangerous thing for a man who has obviously indulged in one too many licks. Christie charged at the fellow screaming, “You’re a real big-shot! You’re a real big-shot, shooting your mouth off!”

“Nah, just take care of the teachers,” the man said as he walked away.

“Yeah, keep walking away,” the Republican governor yelled, “Keep walking!”

And from the corner of his eye, Christie noticed the ice cream dripping down the side of the cone. Like the expert he is, Christie managed to toss some tongue action at the cone, capturing the impatient drip.

He continued his cruise down the boardwalk. A Real bad man… clutching his ice cream cone.

Presidential Address – Creating Long Term Economic Stability

The President of the United States:

For months, I’ve been pushing Congress to pass several common-sense ideas that will help us do that.  And on Friday, I signed into law a bill that will do two things for the American people.

First, it will keep thousands of construction workers on the job rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure.

Second, it will keep interest rates on federal student loans from doubling this year – which would have hit more than seven million students with about a thousand dollars more on their loan payments.

Those steps will make a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans.  But make no mistake: we’ve got more to do.

The construction industry was hit brutally hard when the housing bubble burst.  So it’s not enough to just keep construction workers on the job doing projects that were already underway.

For months, I’ve been calling on Congress to take half the money we’re no longer spending on war and use it to do some nation-building here at home.  There’s work to be done building roads and bridges and wireless networks.  And there are hundreds of thousands of construction workers ready to do it.

The same thing is true for our students.  The bill I’m about to sign is vital for millions of students and their families.  But it’s not enough to just keep their student loan rates from doubling.
