Obama: Romney’s ‘tough talk’ on China is like a fox guarding the chicken coop

“I understand my opponent has been spending some time in Ohio lately and he's been talking tough on China,” Obama said at a campaign stop at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. “He says he's going to take the fight to them, he's going to go after these cheaters.”

If Romney tried to say the same thing about Obama, he'd take twice as long, stutter, and manage to piss off whoever he was explaining it to.
