It seems that Mittens RobMe can't stop lying to save his life. His latest ad accuses Obama of shipping Jeep jobs to China after selling them out to Italy.
Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Even Jeep's CEO has come out and stated that they have no intentions of shipping American jobs to China. As a matter of fact, things are going so good, they're expanding.
The new Obama ad, "Collapse," will air in the crucial swing state of Ohio, where one in eight jobs are tied to the auto industry. It opens by spotlighting a Romney op-ed headlined "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" to claim that Romney "turned his back" on the auto industry at a crucial time.
This is not entirely fair: Romney did not actually use that phrase - it was the headline placed on an op-ed he wrote - and Mr. Obama's administration took GM and Chrysler through a "managed bankruptcy," which is what Romney advocated in the column. The difference is that while Mr. Obama used federal funds to help the industry, Romney advocated providing federal loan guarantees to banks that loaned Detroit the necessary money. Administration officials say those loans would never have come due to the financial crisis, and that Romney's position would have thus meant the end of the industry.
The narrator in the Obama ad goes on to say that "now, after Romney's false claim of Jeep outsourcing to China, Chrysler itself has refuted Romney's lie."
On Thursday, Romney said, "I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state Jeep -- now owned by the Italians -- is thinking of moving all production to China. I will fight for every good job in America. I'm going to fight to make sure trade is fair, and if it's fair America will win."
Chrysler called that claim "a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats."

Me personally? I'd never trust someone as president who lies as much as RobMe.
If Romney had a chance in Ohio, I have to believe this new ad will put that possibility out of reach. It is obvious that Romney has become desperate.
