Mitt Romney Blames Obama for His own Outsourcing of Jobs to China
When a person who is guilty of certain actions blames someone else of doing precisely what they are doing, psychologists consider it a defensive strategy and not always conscious hypocrisy. In psychological terms, if a person denies their own actions and ascribes them to the outside world or other people, it is projection because it involves projecting the belief that others originate the guilty person’s feeling or actions. It is usually dumbfounding to hear someone else blame another person for doing what they obviously do as a matter of course, and for most people, the guilty party is a hypocrite. Americans who follow politics closely recognize that Republicans are notorious for projecting their actions on their opponents, and a prime example is John Boehner accusing the President of killing jobs in early 2011 when the GOP spending cuts threatened to kill millions of jobs.
Yesterday, Willard Romney was answering questions from reporters and extolling the virtues of his still-secret economic plan, and in attacking President Obama for not standing up to China, he had the temerity to say because of the President’s policies, “China has taken Americans’ jobs.” Now, whether Romney was in his pathological liar mode, or failed to think about what he said, he was clearly projecting on President Obama and China what he did while at Bain Capital. After the President’s remarkable acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, Willard must have felt dazed and confused because he obviously forgot that Democrats and the President have been successful exposing his practice of outsourcing Americans’ jobs to China.
