Obama for America

"SinceWhen" +

:30 ad from Oct. 1, 2012, run in CO, FL, IA, NV, NH, OH and VA.

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

[Music] Male Announcer: These appliances could have been made here in America.
 
But a company called Global Tech maximized profits by paying its workers next to nothing…under sweatshop conditions…in China.

When Mitt Romney led Bain, they saw Global Tech…as a good investment….even knowing that the firm promoted its practice of exploiting low-wage labor to its investors.

Mitt Romney, tough on China?

Since when?

Notes: From the press release announcing this ad...

Today Obama for America released a new television advertisement titled “Since When” to highlight Mitt Romney’s long-standing commitment to outsourcing. When Romney led Bain Capital, they invested in a Chinese company called Global Tech, which relied on American outsourcing for its success. Even though Global Tech promoted its practices of exploiting low-wage labor, Romney and Bain saw Global Tech as a good investment. So now, when Mitt Romney tries to talk tough on China, it’s just embarrassing. The American people know that trusting Romney to hold China accountable is like asking a fox to guard the henhouse.
