Outdoing Bain, B.O. Himself is Outsourcing Jobs

Well everyone hates my posts that they term as "forwarded email," so let's see how much libs enjoy something from one of your favorite liberal news sources:

U.S. Bridges, Roads Being Built by Chinese Firms | Video - ABC News

I guess B.O. is not content with having Jeff Imelt send jobs overseas, so he's just doing it directly himself, probably using stimulus money.

the writing has been on the wall for a long time. GW Bush Sr used the term "New World Order" over 1000 times in various speeches while in office. The new North Carolina driver's license has a map of the so-called "North American Union" emblazoned across the back (Canada, United States and Mexico, now all one big happy family).

A friend of mine in the United States Army is forced to wear the insignia of the United Nations on his uniform. UN first, US last, get it? State identity, state's rights are out, federalism and nationalism are in. next stop, world citizenship and world passports; all a big part of the "world economy".

you will soon receive a RFID chip marking you as property of the "One World Order" in your hand or wrist. You won't be able to buy or sell anything without being "chipped". Don't worry, it's all part of the "Master Plan" for the planet.

We are all now part of one big happy family; you have to consider the needs of the Chinese people first, our out-of-work worker's needs are last.

I'd like to know that too. The largest project mentioned, the CA bridge contract was given to the Chinese by state officials.
Epic Fail

Gotta give you that one Tom. This of course begs the me to ask- why do you not know the answer? You've constantly talked about Democrats investing in things like construction and infrastructure which benefits you as this is your field. Now infrastructure construction and building is taking place and you are sitting on the sidelines. If I were you I'd guess I'd have to either have to reconsider this reason to vote for BHO or tell us the answer to why I'm are sitting on the sidelines.

I don't think ABC is a "liberal" news source A&R. It's not as right as you are but it's not a liberal news source.

I wonder how much those workers were paid. You could probably just drive by the lumberyards and hire day labor for cheaper.

Uh, what does he have to do with it? The last time I looked he was the CEO of our country.

Since CA is broke I'm sure they went with the best combination of costs/time/promised results. They said no to Federal funds- has to be because of the strings that were attached with those funds IMHO but IDK with certainty why they rejected those funds. Note that a D was complaining about this- but CA is solidly in the D's control. What gives with that- "we control the state but, well, um, ah ..." Note also that NY and especially NYC is solidly in the D's control and the project there is also given to a non USA firm. That we can't find welders line is BS. Welding is not rocket science.

These are state projects. I like state control; you want him to be in charge of all the states spending?

I realize this, but at least one of the projects was an Interstate Highway. Is that not Federal?

Same damn thing. The video says they hired all their workers from China.

Yes and no. In NY I-95 has many tolls and bridges whose responsibility is the states IIRC. The Feds do not give them enough $ to upkeep the road.
