Bush: Jobs go to India & China because Americans lack the "skill set"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

TUSKEGEE, Ala. - President Bush said Wednesday the nation needs to keep on the cutting edge in research in the face of growing competition over jobs and natural resources from India and China.

Bush singled out the world’s two most populous nations one day before Chinese President Hu Jintao’s scheduled visit to the White House. Bush noted that event and his recent trip to India.

“These countries are emerging nations,” Bush said in a speech at Tuskegee University. “They are growing rapidly and they provide competition for jobs and natural resources.

“As these new jobs of the 21st century come into being, people are going to hire people with the skills set,” he said. “And if our folks don’t have the skill set, those jobs are going to go somewhere else.”

2. Bush doesn't have the "skill set"

to wipe his own ass.

What an insult to American workers. The only thing we don't have the "skill set" for is to live on $5 an hour.

[smtpgirl]

13. 'cause freepers are 'tards

[neoblues]

20. Shrub doesn't need skills...

He's the inheritor of wealth; and unworthy of his own salt.

[gatorboy]

3. How can the Freepers still stand up for this clown???

He spits in the face of every Amercian and they take it! :mad:

[MUAD_DIB]

22. Thay're just not briaaght enough to git it.

They're too afraid of Osama getting them that they'll let their jobs slip away if their monkey-god asks nicely.


Now I though the reason that Amurka was losing jobs to China ad India was that...

The Fucking US companies are sending them there!

[Jim Sagle]

4. Me: Fuck off, you treasonous peace of unelected filth.

(Not you, w.)

[Supersedeas]

19. well said

[Christa]

5. BUSHIT

:grr:

If that is true, then why the hell not TRAIN our people.

Bloody liar - I HATE HIM.

[brokensymmetry]

6. One would think a President...

would train Americans so they have the required skill sets.

Then again, a pResident wouldn't bother.

[Janice325]

7. What a crock of shit!

:puke: :argh: :banghead:

[TomClash]

8. Total nonsense

It is ONLY a question of money.

[crispini]

9. Bullshit. Same "skill set" at $10,000 / year

Motherfucker obviously doesn't know any technology workers.

Asshole. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[smtpgirl]

15. Agree wholeheartedly crispini!!!!

[Olney Blue]

23. And what's wrong with a "C" average nation?

:sarcasm:


Hi Crispini! I haven't seen you much lately.

[smtpgirl]

10. WTF, The Res doesn't have the skillset for his job, so

WHY IS HE STILL THERE????????????

[warrior1]

11. Fuck. You.

[marmar]

12. What an elephant's ass he is...

And what the hell would he know about "skill sets," being a complete dim bulb who's gotten over solely because of what family he belongs to. :argh:

[No New War]

14. Nice

How much money has his administration cut from education again?

[Wise Doubter]

16. What he meant to say was...

...people are going to hire people with the skills set, for a lot less money” , he said

[Arkansas Granny]

27. And there you have it. It has everything to do with how much

profit the corporations can make on the cheap labor overseas and nothing to do with the skill sets of American citizens.

[kaygore]

17. Guess that's why we are cutting Pell grants

and making college out of the reach of many Americans--so that they can take jobs from Mexicans!

[tulsakatz]

18. even if Americans have the skills.......

.....it won't make a bit of difference because Bush would outsource them to India anyway!!

And besides, how would he know what skills we need? This coming from an idiot who uses words like 'decider'!!

[opihimoimoi]

21. Look at that face...would you buy a car from him???

[LittleClarkie]

24. If we do, it's because he's not pushing research

and panders to those who match him ideologically instead of picking those who are merely good at what they do. Even his father knew how to pick skilled researchers even if they didn't agree with him politically. There's a reason over 4000 scientists signed a petition against the guy.

[Bozita]

25. Every unemployed and underemployed American should see that video

THAT speech really pisses me off.

[flaminbats]

28. this could be our Harry and Louise ad..

Republicans would of never allowed Clinton, Carter, or any other Democrat in office to get away with saying this, why should Democrats allow Bush to get away with this? run this quote over and over again, let Bush show voters how unpatriotic he really is!

[Bozita]

29. over and over and over -- Let Bush hang his party with his own words

[onehandle]

26. People at my wife's company are training their Indian replacements.

As part of their exit (being fired) contract.

Bush is full of shit. He's a fucking LIAR!

[mitchum]

30. Once again, he proves how much he despises American citizens

How much longer until WE say "enough"?
