Obama vulnerable on outsourcing charges

NY Times:

Obama Calls Romney Possible ‘Outsourcer in Chief’


The president’s campaign capitalizes on a report that Mitt Romney’s old associates at Bain Capital were “pioneers in outsourcing.”
Outsourcing by Bain was pretty minor compared to the outsourcing of our energy supplies to madmen like Hugo Chavez and other unreliable sources.  Why should we outsource offshore oil exploration to Brazil as Obama suggested in his speech in that country while he was imposing a moratorium in US waters.  Democrats have been outsourcing energy supplies for decades and that has cost the US jobs, and GDP.  They are the real threat of outsourcing a vital commodity to the US economy.  Obama and Salazar are now threatening to add burdensome regulations to the fracking process which has made US energy viable again.  They continue to try to strangle domestic production on federal sites.  They are in effect outsourcing thousands of jobs compared to the small number by Bain.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
