Obama: Romney Plan Would Ship U.S. Jobs Overseas

HeadlineJul 17, 2012

President Obama continues to push his campaign theme of linking Republican rival Mitt Romney to the outsourcing of U.S. jobs. Appearing Monday in Ohio, Obama seized on a new report that said Romney’s tax and regulatory proposals would send U.S. jobs overseas.

President Obama: “There’s a new study out by nonpartisan economists that says Governor Romney’s economic plan would in fact create 800,000 jobs. There’s only one problem: The jobs wouldn’t be in America. They would not be in America. They’d be in other countries.”
