Sensata....Sensata.....Sensata
It is a plain and simple story.
All Obama needs to do is serve it up, in plain and simple language, with a simple question.
"Mr Romney, because you are the largest share holder in Bain , and Bain Capital owns Sensata a very successful operation, why have you refused to save Sensata from closing and shipping the jobs to China??"

However, you cannot pin sensate on him, and to do so would be a mistake I think. However, you can blame that philosophy on him

(4,982 posts)and due to his very handsome retirement package with Bain, stands to personally profit to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars off of the Sensata deal. His company, Bain, is one of the biggest contributors to the RNCC and one of the minority owners of Sensata donated around $655,000 to Romney's campaign. AND Bain - under Romney - was an "outsourcing pioneer" having developed the model other corps use to ship millions of US jobs to China every year, including shuttering Sensata one day before the election - one day before which Romney will ask for American worker's votes.
Oh yes, this IS tied to him and Obama needs to lynch him with it. Yes - LYNCH.

(4,982 posts)while Romnesia's Bain ships good-paying, high-tech jobs of a very profitable company (which Romnesia has 51% ownership of) to China, shuttering plants here -- AND personally profits handsomely off the deal.
He needs to bring up the irony of Romnesia's "tough on China" talk while Romnesia presided over a company that developed the model themselves and which other companies use to ship the operations of 50,000 manufacturing plants (during bu$h's term) and millions of jobs -- to China -- and they're still doing it, Sensata being one example.
He needs to (excuse the term) LYNCH Romnesia over China. I think he has Libya in the bag. I think that since he is President and has experience and info Romnesia doesn't have and since HE got bin Laden, he's ok on those issues.
