Obama for America

"Believes" +

:30 ad from July 3, 2012 run in CO, FL, IA, NV, NH, NC, OH, PA and VA. 

[Music] Male Announcer: What a president believes matters.

Mitt Romney's companies were pioneers in outsourcing US jobs to low-wage countries.  He supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.

President Obama believes in insourcing.

He fought to save the US auto industry, and favors tax cuts for companies that bring jobs home.

Outsourcing versus insourcing.   It matters.

Obama (voiceover): I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

Notes: According to the press release, the ad...

"...highlights a key difference in President Obama and Mitt Romney's economic philosophy: the President believes in an economy that expands manufacturing and brings jobs back to America, while Mitt Romney’s policies would encourage outsourcing which threatens the security of the middle class.

"President Obama fought to save the auto industry and continues to fight to end tax breaks for companies that shift jobs overseas. On the other hand, Mitt Romney put maximizing profits for himself and his partners before workers and communities, even if it eliminated American jobs -- which helps explain why he now supports tax policies that would reward companies that send jobs overseas."
