Obama campaign's latest Bain ad makes direct contrast on jobs

The Obama campaign's Bain Capital offensive took a fresh turn Tuesday with a new television ad that directly pits Mitt Romney against President Obama on the issue of jobs.

The new 30-second spot is the first of the series of ads centered on the private equity firm Romney founded to make a direct contrast between the Republican hopeful's experience and the president's record. It focuses on a recent Washington Post report that cast Romney and his firm as the "pioneers" of outsourcing, or sending American jobs overseas.

"What a president believes matters," a narrator says at the start of the ad. The former Massachusetts governor, it continues, "supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. President Obama believes in insourcing. He fought to save the U.S. auto industry. And favors tax cuts for companies that bring jobs home."

As photos of the two candidates appear one after the other, the ad concludes: "Outsourcing versus insourcing. It matters."

2. who left the word "insourcing" in that ad? Bad communications...

That is a clear example of using language that does not resonate with most Americans. It sounds like something out of Dilbert. It should be something like "keeping American jobs in America..."

3. I still think of them in older meanings.

Perhaps the standard meanings yet today.

Where I worked we used to outsource our typesetting, graphics, and printing..

Then we insourced the typesetting and graphics..

Elizabeth, whose company was about 3 miles away, the the printing when we outsourced it. Nice little mom-and-pop printing company.

When I got us our laser printer and nifty software we insourced. I did the "typesetting" and my colleague did the "graphics."
