Propaganda in India - re: Outsourcing US Jobs
Barack Obama's rhetoric hits a roadblock


Obama has been railing against American companies taking jobs from Buffalo to Bangalore. It served as useful political rhetoric but made little economic sense at a time when the US has been going through a severe bout of economic recession and it is yet to come out of it despite the fact that officially the recession has been declared to be over. It is true that there have been loss of jobs on a large scale. But this was mainly in the financial, housing and manufacturing sectors and there is no connection with the outsourcing of jobs in the IT sector.

The Democrats made the tenuous connection and Obama found it useful as well.
