Mitt Romney Cast As 'Economic Traitor' In New Ad Campaign

With the 'throw the kitchen sink' phase of the presidential campaign
now in high gear, two progressive groups are launching some of the
sharpest attacks yet on Mitt Romney's private equity days.

The ad, titled "Economic Traitor," was paid for by Workers' Voice, the
super PAC arm of the AFL-CIO, and Patriot Majority, a super PAC linked
to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Playing on the controversial
decision by Bain to move jobs at the company Sensata from Illinois to
China, the ad is a cornucopia of sharp jabs at the Republican nominee,
painting him as a heartless plutocrat who cares more about catering to
the Chinese for profit than protecting American jobs. In short, it
resurrects the caricature of Romney with which he struggled during the
summer, only to dispel during the first presidential debate.

Romney campaign spokeswoman Michele Davis pushed back on the ad in a
statement to Politico.

"President Obama promised to take China 'to the mat' but China
continues to cheat without consequence as Americans across the country
lose their jobs. For four years, we've seen the results of President
Obama's failure to stand up to China. Mitt Romney will do it on day
one of his Presidency," Davis said.

The group said they are putting $1 million behind the ad, which will
run in Youngstown, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pa. (presumably in order to reach
the eastern part of Ohio); and Green Bay, Wis. All of these,
naturally, are areas that have been affected by outsourcing. The group
is also investing in pushing the ad online, via Facebook, Google and
Bing.

Obama's Going to Las Vegas

By Fred Lucas

September 12, 2012

(Update: In a second schedule update issued around 10:42 a.m. on
Wednesday, the White House indicated that President Obama would continue
with his campaign trip to Las Vegas after issuing a statement on events
in Libya and Egypt in the Rose Garden.

The only change in the updated schedule is this: "Shortly after (the
Rose Garden statement), the President and Secretary Clinton will visit
the State Department in Washington, DC. This visit is closed press." The
updated schedule still states that "In the afternoon, the President will
depart the White House en route Las Vegas, Nevada.")

(CNSNews.com) - On the day after the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three
other Americans were killed in Benghazi, the White House on Wednesday
morning released a schedule showing that President Obama would continue
with his planned campaign trip to Las Vegas.

Before he leaves, the schedule indicated, Obama will "deliver a
statement" in the White House Rose Garden at 10:35 a.m., the White House
said.

Obama on Wednesday morning confirmed the death of Ambassador Chris
Stevens, the administration’s point man during the Libyan revolution, in
a statement condemning the "outrageous attack on our diplomatic
facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans."

"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious
beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of
senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants," Obama
said.

The White House schedule released at 9:19 a.m. Wednesday, verbatim:

In the morning, the President will deliver a statement in the Rose
Garden. Secretary of State Clinton will also attend. This statement is
open press.
