Give this guy a bigger megaphone and a medal…
Evidence that the Romney campaign is punching back on Obama’s “job outsourcing” lies against The Gov, plain-spoken Romney surrogate John Sununu today fired another salvo against Obama. Taking on main stream media Andrea Mitchell (Mitchell Reports/MSNBC), in the course of the interview, he chuckled at her several times as she “struggled” to defend the real job outsourcer – Obama:
Sununu: “The outsourcing issue really causes two problems for President Obama. One: It underscores his dishonesty. The ad they were running – which all the independent fact-checking groups have said is dishonest – ends with President Obama saying “I’m President Obama and I approve this message.“ It should say, “I’m President Obama and I approve this dishonest message.” And the second problem he has with outsourcing is that there is a huge amount of outsourcing which was driven by Obama policy. The money – the $500 million they gave to FISKAR – created jobs in Finland. The solar energy grants they gave created jobs in Mexico. The wind turbine grants they gave created jobs in Denmark. So, the point that I think is really interesting is that the outsourcing issue underscores how few smarts there are in this White House and in this Obama campaign – that they expose themselves to the response criticism that I think – unlike what Mr. Cilliza said – is going to end up making this a winning issue for Mitt Romney.
Mitchell: Isn’t it a winning issue for the White House, fundamentally, granted that the PolitiFact folks and the Washington Post pointing out that the President’s campaign ad on that issue had a lot of questions and a lot of questionable attacks?
Sununu: But they said it was wrong. A lot of questionable tactics is not right, it was wrong.
Mitchell: But the point is, that isn’t Mitt Romney more vulnerable than the President on this issue because there still is — the whole question of private equity of outsourcing. Yo could argue about when he left Bain Capital and whether he was still getting money from Bain Capital and what some of the companies in Bain were doing, companies that did end up working overseas and sending jobs overseas. But isn’t it a bigger problem for Republicans than for the White House?
Sununu: No. When you’ve sent $500 million to Fisker and it goes to Finland immediately. When you send the solar money and it goes to Mexico. When you send the turbine money and it goes to Denmark. And we can go on all day. There is $29 billion worth of purchases that came out of this administration, outsourced jobs to foreign countries.
Mitt Romney outsourced zero –
Mitchell: Zero?
Sununu: Zero. He wasn’t there when those issues came up.
Mitchell: Well, first of all the $29 billion are not all outsourced from the administration because —
Sununu: Sure they are.
Mitchell: A lot of those jobs still remained here. There are jobs — when you do a grant, governor, there are jobs here as well as overseas.
Sununu: [laughing] You’re struggling, Andrea. You’re struggling.
…
Sununu: You know, it’s interesting that the President again chooses to demonstrate why he has ruined this economy. He doesn’t understand why he is behind the eight ball with 8.2% unemployment. He’s behind the eight ball because those people who invest in jobs that want to put money into create jobs look at this administration and are scared to death of things like this tax and like overregulation. All he’s done with what he put out yesterday is convince them that if Obama is elected, they’re taking their investment money out of the country.
…
Sununu: “Well, he’s [Obama] doing to his Democratic party what he did when he sent up a budget and lost in the house by 414-0 and in the senate, 98-0. All he cares about is himself. He doesn’t care about the people that support him politically and frankly I think this is just a repetition of a desperate act by a president who wants to create class warfare. It’s why he’s going to lose.“

The gloves are on.

Great truthful response by Sununu
Love it! The MSM cannot present a case that sticks. Sununu won’t let them get away with the lies and distractions. People love straight talkers like Sununu. He tells it like it is. Andrea Mitchell and most MSM know Obama is a flop, but they just can’t give up on him. Career over country…a crying shame.
could Romney pull a bush and make Sununu his VP? it would ensure that he won NH, wouldn’t it? and Sununu doesn’t mince words. He is sharp as a tack.
And look at his background. He probably speaks Spanish, could win some Latino voters over:
“Sununu was born in Havana, Cuba, the son of Victoria (née Dada) and John Saleh Sununu, an international film distributor.[1] He is of Palestinian Christian and Greek descent [2]. His father grew up in Jerusalem and his mother was born in San Salvador, El Salvador.[2][3] He is a Maronite Catholic”.

BRAVO Governor Sununu! Tonight I finally heard someone other than myself say how Obama has outsourced our GREATEST inspiration and innovation our nation has and that is NASA. Obama, by ending our shuttle program prematurely, we are now DEPENDENT on the Russia shuttles for our astronauts. You are right, Governor. JFK must be spinning in his grave over this!
For those of you that think that NASA is a waste of money, PONDER THIS:
IF you have a computer (obviously), THANK NASA.
IF you have an iphone, smartphone, ipad, THANK NASA.
IF you have a microwave, teflon pans or velcro, THANK NASA.
IF you remember having EVERY item you bought at the store keyed in BY HAND but then came scanners…yep, THANK NASA for that, too.
But MOST IMPORTANTLY: IF you or a loved one’s life was SAVED by the use of a debfribrillator, MRI or CATSCAN…
Well, you should know who to THANK by now.
AND..who to vote for come November.
