To me it's not the outsourcing. It's the fact that all this time, he's been saying that, despite being the CEO, president, and sole stockholder in the company, he's had no involvement with the day-to-day activity at Bain since 1999, but now "The AP reported this week that Romney stayed in "regular contact" with Bain during his so-called absence, "personally signing or approving a series of corporate and legal documents through the spring of 2001." Several sources are now saying that Romney made repeated trips to Boston to meet with Bain executives during this period, even though he recently told CBS's Jan Crawford that he doesn't "recall even coming back once to go to a Bain or a management meeting" during the period in question." He's being dishonest.
Also, he NEEDS to release his tax returns. And that's another area where he needs to get his fact straight.
"John McCain ran for president and released two years of tax returns. John Kerry ran for president; you know, his wife, who has hundreds of millions of dollars, she never released her tax returns. Somehow this wasn’t an issue.” — Mitt Romney, on Fox News, July 16, 2012
He's been using Kerry's wife as an excuse for a while now, but that's a LIE. It WAS an issue. It was a BIG issue. Because the REPUBLICANS made it one! Apparently Mitt has a short memory:

And let me be clear. It's not that I expect there to be some bombshell in his tax returns. I expect they would show a guy making a huge amount of money, and they may show him paying a pretty low tax rate. Those were the tax rates in place at the time, so there's no faulting him for that. He keeps saying that attacking that is "attacking success," well, if that's how he feels, he needs to OWN that and release those returns. McCain was the exception. Other than him, every candidate to run against an incumbent since 1988 has released many years of tax returns

When he refuses to release his, it just makes him LOOK like he's hiding something, whether he is or not, and that's not good.
