He just can't help lying, even when it doesn't matter.
From the article:
"Mr. President, have you looked at your pension? Have you looked at your pension? Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?" Romney challenged.
In one of the debate's lighter moments, Obama countered, "I don't look at my pension. It's not as big as yours so it doesn't take as long. I don't check it that often."
The remarks sparked some audience laughter — and yet another Romney rebuke.
"Let me give you some advice: Look at your pension. You also have investments in Chinese companies, you also have investments outside the United States," he said.
On that score, Romney is likely correct.
Many public pension funds have a diversified foreign investment portfolio that includes China. For instance, the California Public Employees Retirement System, or CalPERS, recently announced a $530 million investment in two real estate funds that target China.
Most other public pension funds have directed increasing allocations to emerging markets and alternative investment classes to generate returns and bridge exploding funding gaps.
