Left challenges Obama on outsourcing of jobs; Florida TV station debunks Obama's claims on Romney and jobs

President Obama's claim that Mitt Romney was an outsourcer of jobs while running Bain Capital has been debunked.  And now look what the Washington Post says this morning:
Barack Obama promised voters four years ago that he would work to slow the outflow of American jobs to other countries, proposing to revamp a federal tax code that encourages companies to maintain overseas operations.

Obama as president has continued to call for rewriting the rules that allow U.S. corporations to avoid paying taxes for a time on income generated overseas.

But the broad tax changes have not happened.

While White House officials say they have been waiting on Congress to act, Obama’s critics, primarily on the political left, say he has repeatedly failed in other ways to protect American jobs from being moved overseas. They point to a range of actions they say he should have taken: confronting China, reining in unfettered trade and reworking a U.S. visa program that critics say ends up sending high-tech jobs abroad.
Did I mention the debunking of the Obama claim on Romney and Bain? I did. For the exclamation point, a Florida TV station drives the point home.
