Obama To Condemn ‘Outsourcing Pioneer’ Romney In Speech Friday

President Obama will call out Mitt Romney as an “outsourcing pioneer” in a speech Friday at Hillsborough Community College in Florida, according to prepared remarks released by the campaign:

“We’re going to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion. I have a detailed plan that will cut spending we can’t afford, strengthen programs like Medicare for the long haul, and reform our tax code in a way that’s fair and responsible.

“My plan will stop giving tax breaks to businesses that ship jobs and factories overseas, and start rewarding companies that create jobs and manufacturing right here in the United States of America.

“Now, not only does Governor Romney disagree with this plan, today it was reported in The Washington Postthat the companies his firm owned were ‘pioneers’ in the outsourcing of American jobs to places like China and India. Pioneers!

“Tampa, we don’t need an outsourcing pioneer in the Oval Office. We need a President who will fight for American jobs and American manufacturing. And that’s what my plan will do.”

Everyone was chanting "four more years". You don't see this kind of enthusiasm with Romney.

That would have been hilarious if no one clapped for him, instead everyone just stared.
