[snip]Obama accuses Romney in a series of TV ads of being a “corporate raider†who “shipped jobs to China and Mexico,†asking if voters want to elect an “outsourcer in chief.†But some of the claims in the ads are untrue, and others are thinly supported.Bain Capital, the venture capital firm founded by Romney in 1984, is the focus of the Obama campaign’s attacks. There is no question that Bain invested in some companies that helped other companies outsource work and that some of that work went overseas. That was the core business for Modus Media and SMTC Corp. — two outsource companies featured in a June 21 article in the Washington Post that has been the basis of recent Obama TV ads. Bain also invested in U.S.-based companies that sold goods manufactured here and abroad, and some of those companies closed U.S. facilities and eliminated U.S. jobs.But after reviewing numerous corporate filings with the Securities and ExchangeCommission, contemporary news accounts, company histories and press releases, and theevidence offered by both the Obama and Romney campaigns, we found no evidence to support the claim that Romney — while he was still running Bain Capital — shipped American jobs overseas.[/snip]
