Romney knows how to create American jobs

I must answer the President Obama misinformation campaign labeling Mitt Romney as an outsource pioneer. These outsourcing charges already have been discredited, yet they are shamefully repeated by President Obama supporters.

According to FactCheck.org, “Obama's Outsource Overreach” found no evidence to support the claim that Romney, while he was still running Bain Capitol, shipped American jobs overseas. In reality, it is Obama who is sending American jobs to China by rejecting the Keystone pipeline.

Bain Capitol, under Romney's leadership, invested in successful American businesses, such as Staples, Home Depot, The Weather Channel, Dominoes Pizza and Burger King, creating hundreds of thousands of American jobs. When Romney says that he knows what makes jobs come and what causes jobs to go, it's not just campaign talk. It's real.

However, the Obama campaign's portrayal of Romney as avaricious and heartless is phony. Romney's 2011 tax returns reveal that he gave more than $4 million to charity. And that wasn't an election-year gesture. Romney gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity. He took no salary as governor of Massachusetts or as president of the Salt Lake City Olympics.

Romney is an American success story and his success has been good for America. Romney's character and experience make him the best choice to restore hope to America.
