True. Except Obama hypocritically berated Mitt Romney for supposedly shipping jobs overseas during one of the debates in a cheap and calculated ploy to gain votes. Of course, he neglected to mention how many of the auto manufacturers he "single-handedly" rescued from bankruptcy have facilities outside of the U.S., or how his buddy Geoffrey Immelt of G.E. recently closed a factory which re-opened in China, or how Fisker took hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayers dollars for a "Green" grant then promptly shipped the factory to Scandinavia. Wouldn't want to confuse the Oba-zombies with a few inconvenient facts now would we? Stepping off my soap-box now.
CHIMO!
