ATLANTA (AP)
-- President Barack Obama is pledging to be an "insourcing" leader who
will bring jobs that have moved overseas back to the U.S.
The
president was building upon his campaign's recent attacks on Republican
rival Mitt Romney's business record.
The Obama team says the private
equity firm Romney formerly ran invested in companies that sent jobs to
China and India.
Obama says the American people need a president in the White House who will bring jobs back to the U.S., not ship them overseas.
Update:
Via The DC Caller:
A new ad from President Obama’s re-election campaign calls Mitt Romney “Outsourcer-in-Chief,” accusing the former businessman and presumptive Republican presidential nominee of overseeing companies that shipped jobs to China and India while leading Bain Capital.
But while Obama tries to hit Romney on this issue, records show that Obama’s campaign is using a travel booking company this year that have operations in India and China.
Federal Election Commission reports show that Obama for America made numerous payments to the corporate travel company Egencia as recently as May. They were made to Egencia’s Bellevue, Washington office.
Egencia is a corporate travel division of the online travel company Expedia and, according to its website, has call center operations “around the world.”
