Whilst visiting our jobs in India, look what Bush has the GALL to say.

[Bluebear]

He can pander to India while he is being treated like a rajah over there. Come say that at a closing factory's parking lot and see what reception you get, you monkey.


HYDERABAD, India - President Bush urged Americans worried about a U.S. job drift to India and other countries to welcome, not fear, competition with this rapidly growing nation of 1 billion.

"The classic opportunity for our American farmers and entrepreneurs and small businesses to understand is there is a 300 million-person market of middle class citizens here in India," Bush said Friday during a discussion with young entrepreneurs at a business school here, "and that if we can make a product they want, that it becomes viable."

"US President George W. Bush (R) speaks to an Indian woman, demonstrating cotton picking during a visit to the Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University in Hyderabad."

This is the most work he's done in, oh, 40 years. I'm sure he was surprised there weren't any teepees.


Amazing! You can see his thought process aura!

[dorkulon]

1. "Visiting our jobs" -- Good one.

:rofl: :rofl:

[JohnnyRingo]

2. Hahahaha "Visiting Our Jobs".....I'll be using that tomorrow.

Is that some sort of Indian brush clearing tool?
Why does he need help with it?

I love the "Blue collar rolled-up sleeve" outfit these pols wear when they pretend to relate to people who punch a time clock.

[Bluebear]

7. Welcome competition...EXCEPT for Halliburton.

They get all no-bid sweetheart contracts.

[nofoil]

27. Too bad it wasn't a BUSH clearing tool

Or is Bush the tool?

[Skittles]

3. stupid asshole doesn't realize there IS NO COMPETITION

I cannot compete for jobs with people who can afford to live well on MUCH LESS MONEY THAN IT TAKES ME
TO LIVE ON

and PT - please, no BALLS references; male body parts are NOT required for courage!

[Bluebear]

4. Much better.

As to your job, he says you should WELCOME that competition, however!

[I_Make_Mistakes]

5. Were you in tech skittles? They came for autoworkers jobs and

I said nothing, because I didn't build cars.

They came for the textile worker's job, and I said nothing because I didn't make clothing.

Then they came for the computer jobs (because y2k and hi salaries) and I said something.

Then they came for the accounting and IRS processing and I said nothing because I wasn't an accountant.

Then they came for the ports (To Be determined).

I apologize, for the rest of industries/ jobs that aren't listed, but please feel free to add!

[Bluebear]

6. "Bush urges US to become a Third World country" nt

[I_Make_Mistakes]

8. I have been so down for so long, besides DU their is no one

to understand, but WE the PEOPLE do have power! I have a great plan for rebuilding NOLA and the Gulf coast, but no means to implement it. I kept hoping God would let me win the lottery (no kidding), because it is so completely out of the box, that not only would it work, but would continue to work!

Oh well, I guess, another day another cent!

[Skittles]

15. AH, but I ALWAYS said something

much the same as I saw through bush from day one, when he was running for governor, I have always recognized outsourcing as a disaster for the American people

[jbnow]

29. Everything they can...everything

Steel workers,most factory workers, radiology, customer service...and it even affects "Hollywood". Many who have worked most of their life in the industry are losing their work and their homes because when they can they shoot the movies (or do animation) in a studio or country far away from the unions.

Dobbs was listing the jobs bush bragged that we were "retrained for". Pretty much service jobs that you can't export because you have to be here to do them...but then we are screwed over when they use some act to let people come in on long term visas to do the work.

It was on his show I first learned about importing workers (legally) but someone posted here about their daughters company bringing in a group of workers for them to train (from the Philippines) and it turned out it wasn't for a new office there. Once they trained them the American workers were laid off en masse and replaced by the foreign workers at much less money. And this was legal?

No one wins but corporations. It started long ago but has never been so blatant. What are we going to make or export that other countries will buy...they are exporting the making already.

[marmar]

9. How appropriate that he's picking cotton....

'Cause he's out of his cotton-picking mind!

:crazy:

[NYC]

10. Make a product they want?

We don't even make the products we want. The manufacturing has been outsourced.

[Devlzown]

12. I assume they're getting those products from China.

Just like we are.

[cornermouse]

11. They had someone from India talking about the

massive anti-Bush protests and how all their news is showing is how Bush extends his pinkie finger when he drinks tea.

I thought "Welcome to the wonderful world of modern American-style news media." :sarcasm:

[mcscajun]

13. What an ultra-maroon! We won't be able to make a product They Want...

...until our wages are driven down so far that any product they might possibly want is Cheaper than they can get elsewhere.

I guess his MBA degree didn't include any economics courses. Idiot.

[donco6]

16. That's so obvious, I'd have thought even HE'D see it.

Guess there's no limit to how stupid Bush can be.

[OhioChick]

14. So........

I should "welcome, not fear" my job being outsourced?
Oh, that's right.........I can just take a few Community college courses.....:sarcasm:

[donco6]

17. Well, no .. .

With Pell grants falling so far behind inflation, student loans now being funded by private banks at higher interest rates and community colleges facing severe cuts by states short on cash - that's not an option either.

[OhioChick]

18. So........

I'm pretty much screwed, huh?

[donco6]

19. Don't take me too seriously.

I'm just being very cynical today.

[OhioChick]

20. You and me both! n/t

[Bluebear]

23. And me makes three. nt

[beltanefauve]

33. But, but,

we have growing job opportunities right here, in the good ol' US of A! Why, there's fast food, and Walmart, and retail, and..

Don't even bother asking your prospective employer about benefits, though.

[Jim__]

21. He's just reciting free-trade cant.

The man has never thought through a position in his entire life.

[gilpo]

22. I Almost Had an Aneurysm in the Car This Morning When I Heard That

It was another "Yell at The Radio " moment. The guy's budget cuts funding to schools, colleges and universities and has the gall to say we can educate ourselves out of low employment, fucking asshole! If you had been in the lane next to me and glanced over, you would probably thought I was a total wacko. I was must have been a sight to behold.

[rosesaylavee]

26. You made me laugh

I am always yelling at my radio - and I haven't thought about what others may be thinking until I read your post.

I yell so much I would be surprised if it weren't picked by the NSA satellite or roving van or however they are doing it these days.

:hi:

[Booster]

24. It would be nice if we had just a 1 million-"persons of middle class

here" in America, but he can't be bothered with that.

[MisterP]

25. more depressing images

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11650277/

he looks so happy: can he stay there? Note the huge bunch of bananas on the table.

[The Backlash Cometh]

28. He needs to be impeached and he needs to lose his goverment pension.

welfare bitch.

[WinkyDink]

30. Give him a mango. Make that, Mango.

[radfringe]

36. Thank-God for pResident bush*

We're saved!!! We got Mangos!!!!

Now I can sell Mangos on the street corner instead of apples!!!

Are Mangos on the approved food stamp list?

It's Ironic - Native Americans (then known as Indians) sold Manhatten to us for some trinkets. We've just sold the MANHATTEN PROJECT to Indians for mangos...

What else will bush* sell? How much am I bid for the White House? Bidding starts at 3 lbs of baloney....

[area51]

31. Bush

Apparently Bush is actually the president of India, 'cause he cares more about their middle-class than ours. :nuke:

[Virginian]

32. Bush has been very good for the Indian economy. n/t

[wickerwoman]

34. My challenge to Bush:

Name a single small US business or entrepreneur who is exporting things to India.

Jackass.

[agincourt]

35. The kind of competition,

we should welcome, not fear, is in our damn political system and corporate boardrooms. Instead of one long gaggle of slit-eyed GOP pigshit. That is where we need competition to welcome, by any means necessary.

[liveoaktx]

37. VIDEO- Protectionism -What's Wrong with it?

Bush-Rather than respond with protectionist policies, respond with education (to outsourcing)
