CNN’s GUT CHECK for September 17, 2012
CNN's GUT CHECK | for September 17, 2012 | 5 p.m.
– n. a pause to assess the state, progress or condition of the political news cycle
DEVELOPING: OBAMA VS. ROMNEY ON CHINA... President Barack Obama campaigned in America's car country on Monday after his administration filed a trade complaint against China's auto industry subsidies, while Republican challenger Mitt Romney complained the move was "too little, too late." – Tom Cohen
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AT A CAMPAIGN EVENT IN OHIO: “He has been running around Ohio claiming he is going to roll up his sleeves and he is going to take the fight to China. Here, here’s the thing – his experience has been owning companies that have been called pioneers in outsourcing jobs to countries like China. He, he, he made money investing in companies that uprooted from here and went to China. Pioneers. Now Ohio, you can’t stand up to China when all you have done is sent them our jobs. You can talk a good game, but I like to walk the walk not just talk the talk.”
MITT ROMNEY AT A CAMPAIGN EVENT IN LOS ANGELES: “The president may think that announcing new trade lawsuits less than two months from the election will distract from his record, but American businesses and workers struggling on an uneven playing field know better. If I had known that all it took to get him to take action was to run an ad citing his inaction on China’s cheating, I would have run one a long time ago.”
