David Axelrod: Mitt Romney Running To Be 'Outsourcer-In-Chief'
President Barack Obama's reelection campaign seized on a Washington Post report that highlights Bain Capital's investment in companies that outsourced jobs under Mitt Romney's leadership. The article published on Thursday has stimulated a potent new angle to stories attacking the presumptive Republican presidential candidate's record at Bain.
The Obama campaign, which has already attacked Romney on the issue of outsourcing, branded the former Massachusetts governor as a potential "Outsourcer-in-Chief" in a conference call with reporters on Friday.
"Nothing in [Romney's] background suggests that he would be the advocate for workers and American jobs," said Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod. "Nor does it suggest that he would in fact stand up to China or any other country on behalf of American workers."
"It's particularly egregious coming on a day when Gov. Romney began running an ad in Ohio promising to stand up to China -- demanding a level playing field for our businesses and workers -- when it turns out that his companies were actively involved in shipping jobs to China and India."
