of the San Francisco event, the QUESTION Obama was answering was from someone who was going to PA to work door-to-door in the campaign and wanted to know what kind of questions voters in PA would have! No one asked him about why he supposedly wasn't doing better! Obama answered the guy and went deeper into explaining to everyone how things had been so hard on workers everywhere, whether PA, IL, IN or you name it! He also "wagged his finger" at the wealthy there, telling them they were doing fine, but they'd better start thinking more about those who'd lost out, because no one had even "invited them to participate or given them a stake" in the winnings! Yeah..he was sure "looking down" on people!
It's Hillary Clinton who looks down on people, when she co-founds the Senate India Caucus and works her butt off there to get thousands more visas for foreign workers to come here and take American jobs..then she takes tons of money from the same Indian companies (Tata, Infosys, Cisco Systems, etc) that send the jobs that were employing Americans here, straight offshore! The Indian press is full of loving stories about how she's their BFF! They did, by the way, call her the "Senator from Punjab", and she laughed and said she sure could be! These companies pay Bill huge speaking fees, and one (InfoUSA) even has him on the payroll (WSJ said 3.3mil, from their tax returns)as an "advisor"!
She (and corporate CEOs..no surprise) claim there aren't enough "skilled workers" here..yet our native college grads can't find work here! Very strange! Since when did the country that put a man on the moon..and whose colleges are oddly good enough to graduate Indian students, who then take the "visa" jobs here..suddenly come up short in skills for our own native grads? Baloney! How does that explain the thousands of American workers who got laid off from jobs here that hired in "visa" workers..who had to train their replacements, as insult to injury? More baloney! With NAFTA and CFTA and all this, Hillary has just become another "Republican-style" phony! My husband and I both lost our jobs to these companies, and I'll vote for Hillary when hell freezes over!
