The Obama campaign has released a new ad holding Mitt Romney responsible for the loss of 750 jobs in the bankruptcy of a steel plant purchased by Romney’s Bain Capital in 1993. The ad, which will play in several key states, is accompanied by a new Obama campaign website, romneyeconomics.com, which tells the story of GST Steel, a Kansas City firm that went under in 2001, not long after Romney left Bain.
