I wondered how long it would be before some moron started babbling about this. Another media talking point.

I almost feel sorry for Obama because he attracts such a strange bunch of fans. I'm sure there's a word for it, but I can't think of what it might be.

But while Obama tries to hit Romney on this issue, records show that Obama’s campaign is using a travel booking company this year that have operations in India and China.
But nooooo...... he had some campaign promises to keep.

Does anyone actually believe the ability to make profits at the cost of who knows what is meaningful in a POTUS when government is not and never has been a business? Romney's already said he'd increase defense spending, where's the profit for America in that?

You got that right!

Yes, work does seem a little too much for most of them.

I heard many Republicans wanting to increase H1B visa volumesto bring more workes INTO the USA from other countries. This was shortly after Steve Jobs died, when he was on a pedestal as a tech god. The GOP were saying Steve Jobs said he couldn't find qualified IT employees in the USA, so he wanted to bring folks from other countries to the USA to fill the jobs.

In reality, there are many qualified IT folks already in the USA. But Apple and the rest of the companies want to bring H1B visa holders from India because they work for less pay than Americans. All to save a buck. Romney will do the same thing. It's all about saving companies money in any way possible, cheaper taxes, cheaper labor.

Honestly, how ridiculous is this? "Mr. Use Taxpayer Dollars to Outsource" through the government is complaining that "Mr. Use Private Dollars to Outsource" did some outsourcing through a private entity.
