Tough on China? Not Mitt Romney.
When a flood of Chinese tires threatened a
thousand American jobs…it was President Obama who stood up to China and
protected American workers.
Mitt Romney attacked Obama’s decision…said
standing up to China was "bad for the nation and our workers."
How can Mitt Romney take on the cheaters… When
he’s taking their side?
Notes:
From the press release...
When a flood of Chinese tires threatened 1,000
American jobs, President Obama stood up to China and protected the
American worker. Mitt Romney attacked the President’s decision, calling
it “bad for the nation and our workers.”
Obama for America’s new television advertisement tells the story of the
President taking action in the face of China’s unfair practices, while
Mitt Romney continues to hypocritically ignore the fact that he thought
it was a bad idea and make false attacks
against the President’s record on China.
Earlier today, President Obama’s U.S. Trade
Representative filed a new trade enforcement case against China – part
of the Administration’s larger efforts to stand up for American
workers, level the playing field for our manufactures and
businesses, and hold China accountable. If Mitt Romney was serious
about holding China accountable, he wouldn't have criticized the
President's efforts to crackdown on China to protect American tire
workers, wouldn't have maintained his investment in a Chinese
company that relied on outsourced American jobs, even after he saw
appalling working conditions firsthand, and he wouldn't have proposed a
tax plan that could create hundreds of thousands of jobs overseas
including in China.
Mitt Romney now says he’d be tough on China, but how can
he take them on when he’s taking their side?
