Is Obama the Offshore Outsourcing President?

Yes, I know we are all Democrats but facts are facts and this is a must read.

Is Obama the Offshore Outsourcing President?

where is President Obama, the politician who campaigned against outsourcing? The EE Times story that detailed the stealth layoffs and reactions of IBM workers, appeared on the same day that the President was chumming around with IBM's CEO Palmisano. Here's what President Obama said about why he invited to the White House Palmisano and nine other CEOs who are offshoring jobs:

"They make things, they hire people," the President said of the meeting participants. "They are on the front lines in seeing the enormous problems in the economy right now. Their ideas and their concerns have helped to shape our recovery package in order to get this economy back on track."

Can President Obama really be this naive? Or is it simply that he doesn't believe offshoring matters?

Considering Obama is trying to strip out of Buy American from the Stimulus bill, well, sorry but we need to smell the roses, demand this now $900 billion dollars go to U.S. workers.

The entire theory of stimulus requires the money to go to U.S. workers, it isn't going to do a hill of beans by offshore outsourcing jobs and thus the money.

(Even the current Buy American provisions do not tie U.S. taxpayer money, United States debt to American jobs for American workers!)

1. Clinton Was The Offshore Outsourcing President

And he was paid very handsomely for his efforts.

It's not easy to push the toothpaste back in the tube, but hopefully Obama can do some good work here.

But Larry Summers is running Obama's economic policy team....who is Larry Summers? Bill Clinton's economic adviser.

2. Why don't you wait another few years before declaring him anything.

He's been President for 15 fucking days.

5. because of $900 billion dollars

Right this minute they are going to spend $900 billion dollars and if you do not speak up right this minute, a lot of that money will go to offshore outsourcing and not to the United States worker and the United States economy.

The economy is in such crisis, doing a forensic analysis after Economic Armageddon is not wise.

8. reality disabled?

The first stage after denial is anger.
Sorry for your grief.

Sorry to cut through your denial glasses but you better get on a reality check before your $900 billion dollars goes flying off to India & China.

3. Yeah right!

That's Him! :sarcasm:

I'm sure once he gets to know his way around the White House, he'll get to working on this...but Superman, he ain't!

7. read the bill and the advisers

I'm sorry but you folks need to wake up and smell the roses....right now!

They are trying to block any attempts to tie $900 billion dollars to U.S. jobs for U.S. workers (U.S. citizens).
