This is why you don't send a boy to do a man's job.

Agreed. It is simply incomprehensible and unprecedented. Before he was elected corporations never used tax havens/offshore locations, outsourced work, and manufactured stuff in places like China and Mexico.

Oh...wait...

So your answer is to simply drive even more of them away. Sounds like a plan.

Is Obama solely to blame? No. There's enough to go around to explain the long-term damage that has and will be caused. Calling out Obama on the issue as if he were solely responsible is absurd and any surprise expressed by anyone is disingenuous.

I hope you're not directing that at my response. Nowhere did I say it was Obama's fault alone. I simply said his approach is going to do a lot more harm than good. Your going to see a lot more companies bypass the whole outsourcing thing and simply close up shop and head to greener pastures to do business.
