Truth to Power – just the facts from Stephanie


President Obama had some pretty powerful words on what this campaign is going to be about — and I wanted to make sure folks on the Truth Team heard them.
At a press conference Monday, the President was asked why the campaign is taking a look at Mitt Romney‘s record as a corporate buyout specialist,  a record Romney’s been claiming as his chief qualification for the presidency.
The President said that while there’s nothing wrong with private equity, Romney’s priority wasn’t to create jobs — it was to maximize profits for partners and investors. A president has to focus on more than just that.
Watch the rest of his response on why Romney’s record should be looked at, then share it far and wide:

President Obama said of Romney, “his main calling card for why he thinks he should be President is his business expertise … And when you’re President, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot.”
Folks, that’s what we’re going to be fighting for this year — and it’s up to us to lay out the stark differences between Romney’s views and our President’s. Get our President’s back — pass it on:

Thanks,
Stephanie
P.S. — Here’s the video the President refers to in his response. Definitely worth a watch.
