Obama’s Policies Lead His Own Advisor to Ship Jobs Overseas
Obama Adds Outsourcing American Jobs to Repertoire of Failed Economic Priorities
DC DEMOCRATS STILL DON’T GET IT: In a recent phone interview, President Obama promised a woman that he would help find her out-of-work engineer husband a job:
"’I don’t know your husband’s specialty, but I can tell you there’s a huge demand around the country for engineers,’ he told the wife of a laid-off engineer in Fort Worth, Texas. Obama then volunteered himself to find a job for the engineer, who was laid off three years ago."
"’If you send me your husband’s resume I’d be interested in finding out exactly what’s happening right there because the word we’re getting is that somebody in that kind of high-tech field — that kind of engineer — should be able to find something right away,’ Obama told Wedel."

"A firm overseen by one of President Barack Obama’s trade advisers has just announced plans to export 149 white-collar jobs — including numerous high-tech jobs — to an India-based info-tech firm." (Neil Munro, "Obama export adviser exports jobs," Daily Caller, 2/9/2012)
