US presidential race turns bitter

Obama goes negative with Romney attack ad AFP, Washington
The US presidential race has grown increasingly hostile and bitter, with President Barack Obama releasing an attack ad that blamed Republican rival Mitt Romney for shipping American jobs abroad.
Obama, who with a stubborn unemployment rate of 8.2 percent, is fighting historic precedent to keep his job, poured scorn on his White House opponent's business record, intensifying his recent character assassination of Romney.
The 32-second ad, made public Saturday, alleged that Romney, when head of venture capital outfit Bain Capital, had links to companies that chose to lay off US-based workers and move those jobs to plants in Mexico and China instead.
The commercial, titled "Firms," aired just days after the Obama campaign seized on government records that suggested Romney remained in charge at Bain for three years beyond February 1999, when he officially stepped down.
The date is considered crucial as after that year Bain is said to have invested in companies that moved jobs abroad. Romney has denied having any managerial influence at the Boston-based investment firm beyond 1999.
With an off-tone Romney rendition of the patriotic anthem "America the Beautiful" ringing in the background, the ad, which aired in nine states as well as on YouTube, also accused the Republican contender of outsourcing jobs to India when he was governor of Massachusetts between 2003 and 2007.
Romney said on Friday that the Obama camp's claims about his involvement in moving jobs abroad were "false, misleading" and "wrong-headed," but the Democrats insist the charges are valid.
In a third salvo, the officially approved
campaign ad hit out JtYhWePUBli^n candTclate Torlia^ing "millions in a Swiss bank account," and of shoring up money in tax havens such as Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
"Mitt Romney's not the solution. He’s the problem," concluded the ad.
The issue of jobs is considered crucial as no US leader since World War II has won a second term while unemployment was above six percent, other than Ronald Reagan, who was reelected despite a 7.2 percent jobless rate in 1984.
In an already heated campaign, Obama has sought to paint himself as a down-to-earth American — in contrast to his portrayal of Romney as an "out of touch" corporate raider who cares more about profits than everyday people.
