John Nichols (The Nation): Obama Outsources Romney

...It was theme that Obama would return to again and again on a night where the president was talking to voters in swing states such as Ohio, which have been so hard hit by outsourcing.

After Romney made his big job-creation pitch, Obama acknowledged that “it’s estimated that that will create 800,000 new jobs.”

Then, with a smile, he added, “Problem is, they’ll be in China or India or Germany. That’s not the way we’re going to create jobs here.”

Obama was not speaking to Romney, nor to Candy Crowley on that one.

He was talking to Toledo.

That’s politics.

Smart politics.
