Joe Biden: We'll create jobs, restore security

"A Plan for Jobs & Middle Class Security" isn't just detailed. It's the right plan.

9:06PM EDT October 25. 2012 - President Obama has brought our economy back from the brink of collapse, our auto industry back to life, our heroes back from war, and our enemies to justice. But this election is not just about how far we've come; it's also about where we're going.

The president has outlined specific, achievable steps to continue creating jobs and restoring middle-class security. It's not just a detailed plan — it's the right plan. Unlike Governor Mitt Romney, the president has been consistent and clear since Day One about what he believes:

First, President Obama will help create a million new manufacturing jobs and double our exports so we sell more products around the world stamped "Made in USA." That means ending tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and rewarding those that bring them home. And it means lowering taxes on manufacturers, and enforcing trade laws against China.

Second, we'll cut our oil imports in half and make our cars and trucks go twice as far on a tank of gas. We'll produce more homegrown energy — oil, clean coal and natural gas, as well as wind, solar and biofuels.

tariffs Obama put on those Chinese imports and saved a lot of jobs not only in Ohio but in other states as well.
Don't forget Rmoney was against those tariffs. That is part of the reason Obama is doing stubbornly well in Ohio.
They have to make that and republican obtruction to jobs bill known.
Romney is not qualified on foreign policy, Ryan is totally worse. They have Bush's war mongering advisers for their foreign policy.
The supreme court appointments, which is bad for women. Will JUDGES further erode democracy, with MORE CITIZEN UNITED decisions corporation person hood?
