2012 New Obama Ad Accuses Romney of Putting Profits Over National Security
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 5:06 PM
Wow. This ad totally goes there on three different fronts: The Romney-sucks-at-foreign-policy front, the Romney-is-a-callous-businessman front, and the Romney-is-an-asshole front.

The article references something from 2007 - FIVE FUCKING YEARS before Huawei was big news.
Obama is really stretching to try and make this one fit.

@3--What? They're quotes from an investigative report by the Washington Times about Huawei Technologies. Because they were talking about it before anyone else picked up on it makes it a "stretch?"

I don't like it. It resorts to the old, cheap, xenophobic anti-China fear appeal that I expect from Romney and the Republicans, not Obama. It can't be helping the cause of respectful cooperation when both candidates are treating China as our worst enemy. (And in the case of Romney, of course, he adds Russia to his own little Axis of Evil.)

He does, he most definitely is, and he proves that with every other word (with the others proving him to be a bumbling boob).

As opposed to Obama, who has no clue about national security given the scandalous way he has leaked classified information for political advantage, screwed the pooch in Libya and the ME, and ruined our standing in the world. That ignorant fucker has no room to talk.

@3, I remember Huawei being "big news" in 2003 when they were sued by Cisco for pirating parts of IOS. Huawei was "big news" again in 2006 when national security issues were raised, like in this Newsweek article. All this happened before the Romney incident in 2007.

@8 Now, if I was Obama and I heard your rather colorful allegations in a debate, I would probably ignore them and, instead, prattle on about some different point. However, I'm not Obama and this isn't a debate, so I'm challenging you to cite your sources. Leaked classified information for political advantage? Ruined our standing in the world? (HA HA HA! Where were you when the last guy was in office?) Screwed some dog somewhere? Hm...
And Rush Limbaugh and Fox "News" don't count.
