President Barack Obama threw down the gauntlet against China on Monday, accusing the country of unfair trade practices that "harm working men and women."

"And today, my administration is launching new action against China - this one against illegal subsidies that encourage companies to ship auto parts manufacturing jobs overseas," Obama said in advance excerpts of a campaign speech he plans to give in Ohio, the heart of auto parts manufacturing in the United States.

"Those subsidies directly harm working men and women on the assembly line in Ohio and Michigan and across the Midwest. It's not right; it's against the rules; and we will not let it stand," said Obama, who has faced criticism from his Republican rival Mitt Romney over not being tough enough against China on trade.

Well, this is cute of Barack. Too bad his crew is busy working on the East Asian equivalent of NAFTA.

Thanks for the fair shake.

Who was responsible for NAFTA? Oh yeah, "free market repubs."

Have they done a damn thing right in the last 30 years?

So Obama choosing to make the same mistake as the republicans did is the republicans fault? At least it has expanded to beyond just Bush...

 

[NAOS]

Dude, you have to throw Clinton's name at any NAFTA discussion. Nuff said.

 

[One Brow]

The administration claims they have lodged complaints against china at nearly twice the rate Bush did. A couple back in 2009 were mentioned. So, it's not just for the campiagn season. This does not mean that I think Obama is some great defender of American jobs.
