obama for america 2012

First Lady Michelle Obama announces the launch of "It Takes One". "It Takes One" is a new effort that asks you to inspire one more person to join you every time you take an action to move this country forward. If you're making phone calls or knocking on doors, take a friend along. If you're registering to vote, make sure that a family member is registered as well. If you're attending an event, bring one neighbor along. And if you're voting early on election day, bring one new voter with you. You could inspire five, or ten, or 100 new people before November.

President Obama kicked off a two-day "Betting On America" bus tour. He talked to voters in their communities about his commitment to investing in American workers and creating jobs here at home. He's also discussing the choice in this election -- between his vision for growing our economy from the middle out and Mitt Romney's vision for an economy built from the top down.

President Obama held a town hall meeting in Cincinnati where he highlighted a new report that estimates Mitt Romney's economic plan would create 800,000 jobs in other countries, including 73,000 jobs in China. These jobs are likely to come at the expense of American workers, in cities like Cincinnati.

Before President Obama delivered remarks at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, he visited the home of Jason and Ali McLaughlin to discuss the need for Congress to extend the middle-class tax cuts that would prevent a tax hike on all families earning less than $250,000.

The choice on taxes.

Mitt Romney's plan: A twenty five percent tax cut for millionaires, tax breaks for oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas, but a tax hike for 18 million working families.

President Obama's plan: ask the wealthy to pay a little more so the middle class pays less, eliminate oil subsidies and tax breaks for companies that outsource."

Two plans. Your choice.

Lucas, an Iraq War veteran who served with the Iowa National Guard, leads supporters in the Pledge of Allegiance at one of President Obama's grassroots events. He shares why he supports the President and how President Obama continues to make sure veterans are cared for.

Mitt Romney, 10/11/2011: "The Chinese are smiling all the way to the bank ... taking our jobs and taking a lot of our future. And I am not willing to let that happen."

He made a fortune letting it happen. Newly published documents show Mitt Romney's firms were 'pioneers' at 'helping companies outsource their manufacturing' to countries including China.

Bragging they were 'A one-stop shop for their outsource requirements.'

Mitt Romney's not the solution. He's the problem.

Every woman who believes decisions about our bodies and our health care should be our own is troubled Mitt Romney supports overturning Roe versus Wade. Romney backed a law that outlaws all abortion -- even in cases of rape and incest. And that's not all.

What a president believes matters.

Mitt Romney's companies were pioneers in outsourcing US jobs to low-wage countries. He supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.

President Obama believes in insourcing.

He fought to save the US auto industry, and favors tax cuts for companies that bring jobs home.

Outsourcing versus insourcing. It matters.
