Maybe it would be better to call this “welcome to a Mitt Romney’s America“: The shock of losing a precious job in a town afflicted by high unemployment is always hard. A foundation for a stable family life and secure home instantly disappears, replaced with a future filled with fears over health insurance, missed mortgage […]
Team Obama is out with a new ad, blasting Mitt Romney for sending U.S. jobs overseas and not wanting to contribute back to our nation by putting his money in tax-free havens. This should play as much as possible in every battleground state, like here in Ohio where outsourcing has cost the state dearly. It’s […]
Sounds like Mitt’s excuses are really running out now.

Yesterday the Washington Post’s fact chcker, Glenn Kessler, awarded the Obama Campaign 4 Pinocchios for this ad: Here’s how Kessler characterized it: The Obama campaign apparently loves to ding former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney with the charge of “outsourcing.” On several occasions, we have faulted the campaign for its claims, apparently to little avail.

Bain Capital has fallen off the radar lately, but an explosive new piece in the Washington Post should put it back in the spotlight: Mitt Romney’s financial company, Bain Capital, invested in a series of firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India.

Clear Channel is doing some big layoffs here in the Cincinnati market: Tony Bender, Program Director for 55KRC and ESPN 1530, is gone. He writes “23 years. It was a good run.
