Obama on Crack



Obama had some wonderful words about opposing outsourcing of American jobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrgJ_xHemYg

Then he goes and appoints Republican Judd Gregg to head his commerce Department. Judd Gregg is an advocate of outsourcing: http://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/stories/2009/02/02/daily21.html

“The selection of Sen. Gregg completely contradicts what domestic manufacturers understand to be the president’s stated views on U.S. trade policy,” said council President Kevin Kearns. “Sen. Gregg has voted nonstop for bad trade deals that have shipped overseas thousands of factories and large numbers of high-wage jobs, helping to create today’s economic crisis.

“The choice of Sen. Gregg makes sense only if the president wants a secretary of Outsourcing,” Kearns said.
