Senator from Punjab
comments ripped from computerworld.com

At the fundraiser hosted by Dr Rajwant Singh at his Potomac, Maryland, home, and which raised nearly $50,000 for her re-election campaign, Clinton began by joking that, “I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily,” after being introduced by Singh as the Senator not only from New York but also Punjab.

Obama used the “Senator from Punjab” remark against her in the campaign but backed off after his own Indian fund raisers objected.

Clinton has deep ties to Indian outsourcers. They give her lots of money. She is two faced about outsourcing criticizing Bush for outsourcing while personally promoting Tata Consultancy. Clinton has described the outsourcing of American jobs overseas “as a good thing” and to outsourcing being "just a new way of doing international trade."

She was a major player in helping Tata Consultancy Services, the Indian software giant, entrench itself in the state of New York. In an appearance on Lou Dobbs she went on and on about how outsourcing was evil. But when Lou Dobbs asked her if she knew Tata was outsourcing jobs she said:

“Well, of course I know that they outsource jobs, that they've actually brought jobs to Buffalo. They've created 10 jobs in Buffalo and have told me and the Buffalo community that they intend to be a source of new jobs in the area, because, you know, outsourcing does work both ways. You know, we cannot close our borders. We have to be smarter about competing. We have, more enforceable trade agreements. But we also have to attract jobs from around the world. And you know, we are still the biggest market with the greatest potential for growth for businesses from literally every corner of the world.”

Wow 10 whole jobs. How many thousands has Tata destroyed? An Indian article felt Dobbs had ambushed her.

Bill Clinton has invested tens of thousands of dollars in an Indian bill payment company, while Hillary Clinton has taken tens of thousands from companies that outsource jobs to India.

The Clintons have close ties to another outsourcer to India Vinod Gupta founder of infoUSA. Gupta provided his company's jet to fly the Clintons to a family vacation in Acapulco, Mexico, at a cost of $146,866. Gupta said he gets back many times over what is spent on Clinton.

What is reported here is nothing new. She is the same Clinton as always. Repaying the Indians for what they have and, more importantly, will do for her.

1. THEY WON'T HIRE AMERICANS.
NASSCOM and Wipro must have really written her a big check!

Where is the Indian operating system? Name one software application anyone uses that is written in India.

And helping to keep America competitive?

All the companies that have offshored to Wipro or use their guest workers have died or are dying. PeopleSoft, Sun, now Microsoft, almost Quark (Alukah Kamar), Bell Labs was DESTROYED by Indian labor (Arun Netravalli), and GM outsourced to Wipro in 2006. Wipro also worked on Lehman's trading software Spectramind just before they went belly up. Did I mention that Apple CLOSED all their R&D in India in 2006 and now Apple is BOOMING? Helping keep America competitive? American workers are ranked #1 in productivity in a 2008 UN/ILO report. India's workers are ranked 124th in productivity behind Guatemala, Cuba, and Congo. Help keep America competitive? 10 years of mass importation of these workers has brought us to our knees. They are here to clean out our economy with their lack of skills and fake degrees and send all our wealth home. Oh - and THEY WON'T HIRE AMERICANS.

3. New community site for techies
There is a new community site, which means everyone can have their own blog, start forum topics, have their own accounts, Noslaves.com

http://www.noslaves.com

Come make the site happen for there is no doubt Professionals, especially anyone in anything technical, has been under attack and I'm sorry to say, with the Obama administration that agenda is increasing.

Come help make the site a real community and let's finally get techies to start speaking out together.

I'm also looking for links to any site, group, union, whatever who is truly trying to fight for Professional labor to assist in getting some political power to stop the job/career destruction that has been on steroids since 2001.

Here is the post on Hillary selling out U.S. workers:
http://www.noslaves.com/content/hillary-clinton-sells-out-us-workers

and hopefully you just saw the post where the Obama administration is making deals with India to...
offshore outsource technology....specifically technology! In other words all technical professionals that bulls eye on your back to offshore outsource your job and destroy your career is real.
