You talk about moving jobs overseas? I assume then that you are upset with Obama for giving over five hundred million taxpayer dollars to Fisker to build cars in NORWAY?
The company was unable to find a contract manufacturer in the United States, so it outsourced assembly jobs to Finland (the company denies the charge that it used any part of the federal loan to fund manufacturing operations in Finland)

Ok ...so you added the qualifier of "crimnal activity"...agreed. Smoking gun to me would be something that sinks his campaign...and by the very nature of him defying his own fathers precedent and calls from his own party to do so, I believe that "smoking gun" is thier without question.

I don't believe you know what a genuine "socialist" is, nor what they like. Keep eating the talking points and you will become intellectually sick.

The most notable green project to get money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus, was Fisker, which got $529 million from the Department of Energy, $359 million of which was supposed to go toward a plant in Wilmington, Del. However, Fisker began assembling its first line of cars in Finland in 2011. USA Today reported that the Fisker Plant in Delaware is “absolutely empty.”
Yesterday, A123 Systems announced that it had signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with China’s Wanxiang Group for a US$450 million investment in return for an 80 percent stake in the company, which U.S. taxpayers helped to finance.
With the approval of the Obama administration, an electric car company that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work.

Just for reference Compare McCains Medical report from 2008 to Obama's medical summary written by an original Obama Backer for a single payer system. Funny how Obama turned on his doctor for the inauguration. Obama invited his Barber and did not invite the good doctor. I guess Obama got what he needed from him.

Obama has not released anything comparable to it other than the ritual annual White House Check up.
So you have a problem with a politician who invests his own money overseas, but support a president who sends our public funds overseas?

You also bring up a good point.
What about Obama's large head scars that have never been explained?

I have a half moon scar on my head that is pretty clear when I wear my hair short in the Summer.
Fisker has raised over $1 billion in private equity, Fisker spokesman Roger Ormisher told us. That private money was used to finance the manufacture the cars in Finland, he said, while the DOE loan was used exclusively in the U.S. for engineering, design and marketing, and sales. That supported more than 600 jobs in the U.S., he said.
“All of the DOE loan money that we got for the Karma project had to be spent in America,” Ormisher said.
It’s possible that DOE money used to fund operations in the U.S. allowed private investment to concentrate on overseas manufacturing. But it would be simply inaccurate to claim that all of that $169 million funded jobs overseas. Moreover, a number of American suppliers were used to make parts that were assembled in Finland, Ormisher said, creating about 1,500 jobs. Last year, Fisker officials estimated more than 45 percent of the components of the Karma were manufactured by about 40 U.S. suppliers.
In addition to the $169 million, the DOE approved a much larger, $359 million loan to help Fisker develop a lower-priced version of its car, called the Nina. The plan is to build those cars at a shuttered General Motors factory in Delaware. That project has hit some snags. In February, amid delays to the project, Fisker let go 26 employees from the Delaware factory.
However, Fisker still plans to move forward with the car, and the “first option” is still to build them at the factory in Delaware, Ormisher said. If it moves forward, the plant could employ up to 2,500 workers. A prototype of the car, renamed the Atlantic, was unveiled recently, but a launch date was not announced.
To date, Fisker has drawn down $193 million of the $529 million in government loan guarantees, Ormisher said. Fisker has been negotiating with DOE since last May regarding the future of this second part of the funding.

Why did McCain release such a long and detailed version of his medical records??? Oh yeah...because his history of health issues and people had questions about his health and if it would interfere with him being President.
Wow...that sounds familiar...kind of like people having questions about Romney's past financial interests...you would think Romney would follow McCain's example and release a long and detailed record of his taxes to put the people's questions to rest.

Smart investor??...Are these the folks that nearly collapsed our economy and then had to take over a Trillion dollars in TAXPAYER bailouts when their "smart" investments were shown to be a shell game??? Like Romneys 100+ shell companies that he hides money in? In CAYMAN AND BERMUDA AND SWITZERLAND???
I will look for a President that chooses to invest in AMERICA...
And your claim that Obama did otherwise has been proven to be utter BS as shown above.edit on 22-8-2012 by Indigo5 because: (no reason given)
Well, Obama’s preferred bank is JPMorgan Chase, where he had a checking account with less than $15,000 in it and an asset management account worth between $250,000 and $500,000 in 2010.
He also had at least $200,000 invested in the Vanguard 500 Index, a mutual fund based on the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.
Update, July 2: Late on July 1, the Obama campaign issued a formal objection to this article, claiming that Romney remained at least a “part time” manager of Bain after February 1999. We strongly disagree. Both Romney and Bain have stated repeatedly that Romney “has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way” since leaving to head the Olympics. Romney stated that twice on official federal disclosure documents, where a falsehood could draw a federal felony charge and possible fines and prison time if convicted.
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.
■One TV ad, called “Come and Go,” claims that Romney “shipped jobs to China and Mexico.” But two examples cited by the Obama campaign occurred after Romney left Bain. There’s no clear evidence that a third company shipped jobs to China under Romney.

Not 500 Million, 196 million and not jobs in Sweden, 2,100 jobs in the USA.
