Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) said Tuesday that it’s time for the head of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness to resign or be fired because he’s sending jobs to China. In a press release last week, Kucinich noted that in his role as the CEO of General Electric, Obama job czar Jeffrey Immelt was sending advanced technology and U.S. jobs to China. “Jeffrey Immelt has a conflict of interest,” the Ohio congressman said.“He cannot ethically advise the President on how to create American jobs and promote American competiveness, while at the same time leading a company that is exporting American technology and, along with it, American jobs.” Kucinich told CNN’s Ali Velshi Tuesday that it did not make sense for Immelt to continue working for the president. “He has expertise in job creation, but, unfortunately for the United States, seems to be creating jobs in other countries. One-fifth of the U.S. work force has been eliminated since that gentleman had taken the helm of GE,” Kucinich explained. “If the White House doesn’t have a jobs policy and they go to somebody who is not only moving his jobs out of the country, but also off-shoring profits so he is not paying a share of the taxes GE ought to be paying, look, the White House has to get a grip on its jobs policy.” http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/08/kuc...
The laughing liberal “Truth to Power!” Since: Apr 07 74,307 Raleigh, NC	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 May 18, 2012 Judged: 1 1 1 Hillary clears outsourcing air Hillary Clinton made it apparent where she stood on outsourcing during her India visit, in an attempt perhaps to clear the Indian misgivings received during the Kerry campaign. "There is no way to legislate against reality. Outsourcing will continue," she told an audience of Indian big-wigs. She pointed out that there were 3 billion people who feel left behind and are trying to attack the modern world in the hope of turning the clock back on globalization. "It is not far-fetched to imagine ... if the Indian miracle would be the one of choice of those who feel left behind," said Hillary. Hillary has been at the forefront in defending free trade and outsourcing. During the height of the anti-outsourcing backlash in the US last year, she faced considerable flak for defending Indian software giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for opening a center in Buffalo, New York. "We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences," Hillary said firmly, despite inevitably invoking the ire of the anti-free trade brigade. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/GC01D...

What Filth! WHEN ARE ENOUGH LIES………………………ENOUGH. A study commissioned by Sen. Tom Coburn is casting doubt on whether taxpayers'$18 billion annual investment in federal jobs training programs is paying off. "The vast majority of money we spend in job training doesn't go to job training, it goes to employ people in those job training federal programs," Coburn told Fox News. The 2011 Government Accountability Office study he commissioned, which examined programs in fiscal year 2009, found an overlapping and duplicative maze of 47 federal jobs programs run by nine agencies. Some were rife with mismanagement, waste, fraud, abuse and corruption. The study found: • Some job training participants spent their days sitting on a bus. • Some were trained for jobs that didn't exist. • Others were paid to sit through educational sessions about jobs they already had. • High school students were knowingly exposed to the cancer-causing agent asbestos as part of a job training program. • Funds were misspent to pay a contractor for ghost employees and to purchase video games. • Job training administrators spent federal funds on extravagant meals and bonuses for themselves. • In one state, workforce agency employees took more than 100 gambling trips to casinos mostly during work hours. Coburn’s criticism comes in the heat of a presidential campaign in which President Obama has made funding job training programs a priority. He showcased one program last month at Lorain County Community College in the key swing state of Ohio. "Ninety percent of people who graduate from this program have a job three months later -- 90 percent," the president told an enthusiastic crowd. This was of course a lie.

Bennett, who spoke to Arizona radio host Mike Broomhead Thursday, said he requested the confirmation eight weeks ago and has not gotten it. Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one. Asked by Broomhead if he would remove Obama’s name from the ballot if Hawaii fails to comply, Bennett said:“That’s possible. Or the other option would be that I would ask all the candidates, including the president, to submit a certified copy of their birth certificate.”
