Was there any doubt?
Obama really does have Cayman Trusts and Chinese investments in his pension account...

I honestly thought he was bull ting and just trying to deflect Obamas talking point...
But don't forget that my Trust is much, much bigger and that I still own 51% of Bain Capital. Greed is good my friend.
I never BS.
pretty funny if not entirely ironic since its just his pension.
The problem for Romney is that he's the one playing the "tough on China" card. All that said, I'm pretty sure neither get to pick where their retirement funds invest money at.
I'll agree with that.
neither one has any intention of "getting tough" on china. romney himself said he even wants more free trade and i'm sure he'll continue to grant subsidies to off shore companies. romney also endorses the TPP pacific rim free trade policy (as does obama) and he mentions nothing of NAFTA which has cost even more american jobs than free trade with china has (approximately 3 million).
"neither get to pick where their retirement funds invest money at."
I'm VERY SURE felony tax evader Gecko, and his team of tax consultants and his high-net-worth mgmt bankers, know where his hidden wealth is stashed overseas.

I had no doubt about it being true. This will be a big sting when liberals/democrats see in more and more in the news and political commercials. This is what they have been trained to hate.
You gotta be kidding. he gets a pass. "He doesn't make decisions for the Illinois pension system"
Didn't Romney pull this same little gotcha trick with Newt in the primaries? Pretty much anyone with a diversified 401k or Ira is going to have investments in a Chinese company. Obama got no tax advantage from his Cayman island account. There is no doubt Romney did.
And that would be a true statement.
Let's see:
Buying out companies, laying off US workers, and shipping their jobs to China
is somehow equivalent to
Having a state-run pension that owns mutual fund shares that have foreign investments
^ AFAIK, Romney's investments in China are no different than Barry's.
indirectly, wasn't this romney's way of saying you have no right to complain about free trade to china if you buy TV's from wal-mart ?
That's what happens when US policy makes it cheaper to buy foreign goods. Don't blame those who see it and make money that way. If not them, someone else would have. Blame the policy makers that allowed it to happen.
That's all fine and dandy but let's not pretend the concept is incredibly ethical nor has it ever been.
You only hear the bad from your liberal keepers. Most of their venture capitalist investments did in fact save the companies. Companies that would have failed without someone taking a chance.
Do I live in a zoo?
Probably.
"US policy makes it cheaper to buy foreign goods."
what policy is that and what policies would you replace it with?
Really?
I have made several points over the years. If you are not going to remember a single one, should I waste my time repeating myself? And to you? Someone who always does nothing more than act like a troll?
