*Obama accused Romney of exporting jobs overseas (Stimulus has funded many jobs overseas) http://abcnews.go.com/WN/obama-stimulus-money-spent-overseas/comments?type=story&id=10002592

*Running up the debt is "unpatriotic" (5 Trillion with a T in new debt)

Romney is funded by Corporations and Obama is funded by small donors (Truth-O-Meter rating: False)

Obama accuses Romney, GOP of offering only outdated ideas (Socialism lol)

Obama accused Romney of false ad's (we all know both parities are guilty of this)

Obama, Republicans block all his job bills, (The Dem Controlled Senate block all the GOP's bills also)

Outsourcing - Did you even read your link? It suggests that the uproar may be misdirected and explains it simply. To put it MORE simply, Obama isn't "outsourcing jobs" to China any more than you are "outsourcing jobs" by buying Chinese made shoes from an American company. I mean, c'mon. He's not writing checks to Chinese companies to buy windmills. These are American companies doing the outsourcing for their own reasons. This is standard US business practice. If you want to do something about that, vote Democrat.



Debt - Unchecked, irresponsible spending IS unpatriotic in that it's not good for our country. I think we can all agree with that? Every president in recent history has spent more than the previous president. This is another fact not up for debate. But did you know this one? Obama's rate of increase in spending has been less than any other president since Eisenhower. It's true. Look it up. There are solid numbers to support it. But I will freely admit that that is a debatable argument in that any increase is an increase even if it's increasing less than normal. Lulz. The point is, what used to be a near vertical line on a graph of government spending under President Bush has tapered off and is leveling out under Obama.



Funding - While that is obviously not universally true, it sure is true from a balance perspective. Romney gets far more large donations that Obama. Obama gets far more individual donations of smaller amounts.



Outdated ideas - Drop the socialsim crap. Social policies are not universally bad and not at ALL outdated. Social Security? Hello? Outside our country there are plenty of places that have successfully embrased far more encompassing social policies and they work wonderfully. If anybody were to actually say that Romney's policies are outdated (which they can't because he hasn't shared any of his magical economy cures), they would be referring to the fact that Republican top-down garbage was all tried before and that's why we're in this mess.



Ads - Yes, both parties have had some doozies aimed at them. Superpacs are the worst thing to happen to credibility in American politics EVER.



Republican blocks - Democrats have regularly attempted compromise whereas Republicans refuse any compromise. There will always be disagreement between party ideals, but the extent to which this Republican congress has gone to fight any and all of Obama's goals is beyond compare in American history and has done nothing but harm for our country.

I'm a small donor for President Obama, so not false...there are a whole bunch of us from state to state who KNOW that President Obama is the absolute BEST MAN for the job of keeping our Obama-Democrat-produced slow-but-steady recovery going and growing, so we keep on giving small increments, just like Ron Paul's donors do and have done in the past.



President Obama has only spent $885 BILLION, and this is confirmed by an indepth analytical study from Newsweek and The Daily Beast as of July 2012 (posted on Powerwall). The Bush/Cheney administration had FUDGED THE BOOKS in more ways than one, including the fact that the costs of both wars were NOT INCLUDED and neither was more than $2.7 TRILLION (deliberately kept OFF THE BOOKS) that had to be added in the first week President Obama was in office in order to get a true accounting of where we were in order to implement the needed nation-saving changes. According to Rex Nutting of "Market Watch" and a columnist for the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, "Government spending under Obama, including his signature stimulus bill, is rising at a 1.4% annualized pace---slower than at any time in nearly 60 years. See? NOT "running up the debt" at all---that is PROPAGANDA by the Republicans who actually did what they try to now accuse our very frugal President Obama of doing.



Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has joined forces with the religous-extremist right-wing Republicans who met on Inauguration Night 2009 in a secret meeting on Capital Hill (according to Draper's exposing "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives") to PLOT and promise to "bring Congress to a standstill" (and this is before our brand new President Obama, chosen by the masses, had even had time to show what he wanted!) "and to BLOCK every piece of Obama legislation, even if it was beneficial to the nation." Despite this, President Obama was able to get his Democrats to organize long enough in the previous 111th Congress to pass more than 300 pieces of legislation, earning that previous Congress a rating of "MOST PRODUCTIVE Congress in more than 60 years" (C-SPAN News, LA Times). By contrast, the DELIBERATELY SABOTAGING right-wing-controlled do-nothing 112th Congress has been rated as the "LEAST PRODUCTIVE since Herbert Hoover days" (same source). JOBS bills, TAX CUTS for small business bills...these are things Republicans should be backing---but nooo, simply because a popular and powerful black man and a Democrat proposed these wise pieces of legislation.



And you are wrong about the nation-saving Reinvestment and Recovery Act (a.k.a., "stimulus package"), too. Read Michel Grumwald's new indepth exploration, in "The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era" or try the recovery.gov site.

At this point nothing really matters because mitt will most likely lose due to his taxes.

He has to keep all that going so his troops won't listen to anything else and perhaps learn that he lies.
