Maybe this will do to express my reaction.
Almost, but not quite. This may be more accurate.
Closer, but I think that this next one should suffice:

On a more serious note, the Washington Post ran a great peace on Bain Capital under Mitt Romney outsourcing many American jobs.
Somehow, I don't think that I would trust a job outsourcer to do this.
Romney’s Bain Capital invested in companies that moved jobs overseas
By Tom Hamburger, Published: June 21
Mitt Romney’s financial company, Bain Capital, invested in a series of firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India.
During the nearly 15 years that Romney was actively involved in running Bain, a private equity firm that he founded, it owned companies that were pioneers in the practice of shipping work from the United States to overseas call centers and factories making computer components, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
While economists debate whether the massive outsourcing of American jobs over the last generation was inevitable, Romney in recent months has lamented the toll it’s taken on the U.S. economy. He has repeatedly pledged he would protect American employment by getting tough on China.
Somehow, I don't think that I would trust a job outsourcer to do this.
