President Obama is preparing to tell Ohio voters that Republican Mitt Romneys tax proposals would spur job growth in foreign countries including China.
The president also plans Monday to highlight his administrations 2009 bailout of the auto industry which saved thousands of jobs in Ohio according to Democrats. Romney opposed Obamas use of massive federal loans to keep Chrysler and General Motors afloat while they reorganized under bankruptcy protection.
Obama is holding a town hall event in Cincinnati one of the states most heavily Republican areas. Ohio and Florida again are shaping up as the most intensely competitive states in the presidential race.
White House aides said Obama will cite news reports suggesting that Romneys plans for limited taxing of overseas profits by U.S. companies would encourage foreign job growth. The two candidates have repeatedly accused each other of outsourcing American jobs.
The White House said Obama will renew his call for extending the Bush-era tax cuts on all households except those earning more than $250000 a year. Romney says the wealthiest Americans also should keep their tax breaks because they are the most likely people to create jobs.
Ohios Republican governor John Kasich often notes that his states unemployment rate is lower than the national average. That has proved awkward at times for Romney who assails Obamas stewardship of the national economy.
Kasich and other Republicans say the states unemployment rate has dropped steadily in spite of Obamas economic policies not because of them.
