Presidential Debate #2

How does Romney have a history of supporting outsourcing but now say he wants to make America attractive for businesses?

Because from a business’s stance outsourcing makes sense… so he knows what to do to make it so outsourcing doesn’t work better than staying here

 

[scipio337]

Romney’s taking the Ross Perot stance…he just said, ‘gridlock’

Actually that was his running mate, Admiral James Stockdale

Funny but It was more than one person

I remember SNL had a field day doing skits of Stockdale.

God rest his soul, he was an American hero, the kind that we need in our government now. Sadly, no one close is in the running.

Maybe ask China if it wants to be the 51st state?

Dont you mean 58th State?

How does Romney have a history of supporting outsourcing but now say he wants to make America attractive for businesses?

Romney says he retired and left Bain Capital in February of 1999 to run the Salt Lake City Olympics, which means he never had control of the companies doing the outsourcing.

Romney should be able nail him on “trade deals.” The only trade deals he has signed were proposed during the Bush Administration, held up by Democrats in Congress, and finally passed once Republicans took Congress. Obama has done no new trade deals.

Edit Add: Gah! Won’t happen…no time, even if he would have.

Romney just repeated, ‘Government doesn’t create jobs.’ Didn’t he said he’s going to create 12 million jobs?

 

[LotusCarsLtd]

“Government doesn’t create jobs, government doesn’t create jobs!”

^^^^THIS is a good soundbite, as much as I hate them.

 

[IbnFiktur]

“Sometimes in the course of a campaign a candidate focuses more on attacking the other than projecting his vision of the future, and I think the President has painted me as someone other than who I am.” -Romney (paraphrase)

OH the irony is so thick.

True. It was horrible how he was portrayed after that debate.

 

[Dawnia]

Did Obama just say “when he was President”? Is he already an ex-president? When did I miss that?

 

[vz71]

I must have missed something. The audience was applauding the President at the end.

Yeah, those claps were for the President.

You may want to check your DVR.

The President was caught trying to rewrite the history of the event.
Romney made certain it was repeated for clarity and ‘for the record’ and then showed the falsehood.
The moderator agreed.
The audience clapped.

OH the irony is so thick.

Not at all. His attacks on Obama have been on policy…not on the man.

Good answer by Romney on this. We’ll see what Obama says about himself.

 

[exoflare]

Did Obama just say “when he was President”? Is he already an ex-president? When did I miss that?

Freudian slip?

 

[rlg94086]

“Fair share”…that’s got to be at least one shot of Tequila…

 

[rlg94086]

47%! Woohoo…getting drunk…

Of course, Obama is answering about himself by attacking Romney.
