Hillary Clinton's remarks on outsourcing to India return to haunt her

snip

Appearing on Indian television during her tenure as Secretary of State, Clinton was asked during a town hall-style public affairs programme for her thoughts on outsourcing from the US to India...

In the video, Clinton is asked about a political ad that President Barack Obama was airing during his 2012 re-election campaign against Republican Mitt Romney that was critical of Romney's outsourcing of jobs as a businessman.

The hosts told Clinton that the ad is causing "a lot of heartburn" in India. "Well, it's an election year," Clinton responded, adding, "It's an obligation in an election campaign to talk about what's on people's minds."

She said that Americans who have lost manufacturing jobs are fearful because they "don't feel like they have any other job possibilities".
