Obama’s Law: For every Obama position today there is an equal and opposite Obama position yesterday.

As Obama and Biden are attacking Romney for ‘outsourcing’ jobs to other countries, it has now been shown that Obama was on record in 2009 saying it wouldn’t be good for the economy for these outsourced jobs to come back, that they should stay outside the country because they are cheap jobs:

Just in case you think he wasn’t talking specifically about outsourced jobs, here’s is an article from 2009 when he said it:

REDIFF INDIA ABROAD – US President Barack Obama has hinted that he is not going to insist on bringing back the low-wage, low-skilled jobs outsourced to countries like India and China but would work on creating high-skilled, high-paying jobs, which cannot be off-shored.
The suggestion might come as a big relief to thousands of youths in countries like India, China and Philippines, where American companies have outsourced their work.

“It probably wouldn’t be good for our economy for a bunch of these jobs to come back because, there’s no way that people could be getting paid a living wage on some of these jobs — at least in order to be competitive in an international setting,” Obama said during the course of an online town hall meeting streamed live on the Internet from the White House.

Obama responded to online video questions in the first of its kind attempt to establish a direct line of communication with the masses.

What a freaking joke. And they have the stones to criticize Romney about Bain capital. Obamas own jobs czar Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of GE, is outsourcing jobs from his own company. This entire administration has to go.

RR had a great line in his campaign against Dhimi Carter. A line which Lunch Bucket Joe plagarized (Gee who'd a thunk it?). He said:" A recession is when your is out of work. A Depression is when you are out of work. A recovery is when Jimmy Carter is out of work".

Just replace the words Jimmy Carter with Barackus Obumus and its all you need to know about "this economy", and what's good for it.

That was the stated strategy of a very famous German, Joseph Goebbels. Trouble is, it can work.

The sad thing is that the polls are showing that the dumbmasses of America are starting to believe this lying imbecile.

Hopefully after the Crybaby-and-Chief spends all his money, Romney will have the money and iron in his spine to hammer Obama where it hurts - but most importantly, he HAS to get his plans and message out to the slovenly entitlement-oriented couch-potatoes so they'll realize just how bad Obama is for America. Even then, they may not care as they eat their foodstamp-funded groceries.

These 'outsourced jobs' were forced out of this country because it wasn't competitive for the companies to survive. If these companies came back, it would be because they can compete competitively here. How could that not be good for this country? The key is to make an environment conducive to having companies come back.

Or does Obama fear that these jobs would not be available to any potential illegals (say about 1 million) that he wants to throw into our labor force?

Unfortunately he's right. The jobs get outsourced because our government has run them off. They won't come back until we have a much more friendly business environment. He should take his own (previous) view and work to remove what's driving the jobs away.

My take on what he said is that businesses can't afford to pay them proper wages and aren't allowed to pay the slave wages foreign companies pay. *ahem* China.

Oh, that's probably what he was getting at. They can pay people proper wages here but it would drive the cost of their product up to a point where they couldn't compete any more. Regulations and taxes cost them tons of money that if drastically reduced would allow them to bring those jobs back and still keep the costs down.

In any case, I believe it's the government driving the jobs away....not greedy business owners.

All I know is government must get it's spiked boots off the necks of businesses. Small business will be a thing of the past.

And I think it was Herman Cain who was specifically pushing to make it more competitive by lowering business taxes and making sure that repatriated jobs aren't being penalized when they return to the USA.

That concept is sound. Not sure his plan would have worked, but it's the right spirit.

Looks like John Kerry isn't the only flip-flopper in politics....now we have Obama as the Flip Flopper in Chief.

Mittens has done and will do the same unfortunately. They are politicians after all. Obummer is the lowest form of the genre. Anything would be better

Forgive the OT, but that's what makes me nuts about the Ron Paul fans. Not that they like him, but that they speak of him in Messianic, "savior" terms.

They're all politicians! They're like diapers: they should be changed, often, and for the same reason.

Why do people listen to this tool? It's apparent he has no clue what 'outsourced' jobs mean in business and economic terms.

Laurel, that's not fair. You know good and well that he ran that one thing. And he got high praise for that business with the, you know? That other thing.

Or was that running his own campaign? I forget, he has such a rich list of accomplishments.

Oh! I remember! It was the lemonade stand of '76. That was the one.
