VIDEO- Bush on Outsourcing to India from speech yesterday

[liveoaktx]

**Reason # 600732 to impeach this idiot. Compares helping India to aid after WWII to Germany and Japan. Also, all you whiners that are boo-hooing because you lost your job to outsourcing? Quit being damn protectionists!

We welcome the growing prosperity of the Indian people, and the potential market it offers for America's goods and services.

When trade is free and fair, it benefits all sides. At the end of World War II, the United States chose to help Germany and Japan recover. America understood then that as other nations prosper, their growing wealth brings greater stability to their regions and more opportunities for products Americans manufacture and grow. The same is true today with developing nations such as India. As India's economy expands, it means a better life for the Indian people and greater stability for the region. It means a bigger market for America's businesses and workers and farmers.

The area of America's relationship with India that seems to receive the most attention is outsourcing. It's true that a number of Americans have lost jobs because companies have shifted operations to India. And losing a job is traumatic. It's difficult. It puts a strain on our families. But rather than respond with protectionist policies, I believe it makes sense to respond with educational polices to make sure that our workers are skilled for the jobs of the 21st century.

We must also recognize that India's growth is creating new opportunities for our businesses and farmers and workers.

R legislators will have to keep trying to defend it. People are going to be ready to tar and feather the whole lot of them and march them off the nearest dock.

3. Oh man he loves comparing his situation to WWII.

Almost every situation that comes up, he's got a WWII comparison for you and none of it ever makes a damn bit of sense.

4. We "helped" Japan recover by letting them keep all the treasure they'd

pillaged in Asia.

6. Where are the educational policies? Where are the new jobs?

The only jobs created in the last 5 years are low paying service jobs.
