More Obama hypocrisy: It ‘wouldn’t be good for our economy’ for outsourced jobs to come back

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.
