VP Biden hammers Romney on outsourcing, wealth
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/26/12421122-biden-hammers-romney-on-outsourcing-wealth?liteThe outsourcing attack continues, with Joe Biden wielding the rhetorical cudgel today.
"You got to give Mitt Romney credit. He's a job creator," Biden said Tuesday at an eastern Iowa UAW hall, pausing for dramatic effect from a knowingly chuckling crowd of over 400. "In Singapore. And China. And India."
On the first stop of a two-day swing through the Hawkeye State, Biden skewered the GOP nominee for his tenure at investment firm Bain Capital, repeatedly calling Romney a "pioneer" of shipping American jobs overseas.
"Here's the bottom line, folks: Bain and their companies, they made a great deal of money outsourcing and off-shoring American jobs," the vice president said. "Yeah, they made a lot of money, but in the process they devastated whole American communities here in the heartland and back in my home state of Delaware."
