good point, I wonder where all the "flamers" are regarding this... Does Obama or Biden have a secret link to Haliburton - maybe huge stockholders?... I'm familiar with what Haliburton does and the Obama admin could have brought in someone different - but the way the contracts are arranged Haliburton is the only one that can fulfill it... Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Care to direct us to the posts showing your outrage when Bush was sending out all those no bid contracts?

I didn't think so

I did not oppose no bid contracts during Bush and do not do so now.
haluburton or Saudi oil are the only 2 companies that could perform the contract. I prefer the jobs going to Americans
The question becomes the left did oppose them with Bush but why no outrage now?

Because Obama haters do the Obama hating and Bush haters do the Bush hating. It has nothing to do with the fact that the policy is the same regardless of who is in the white house.

So the jobs should go to Americans regardless of cost?

This at the same time Bush was telling us outsourcing jobs overseas was a good thing for our economy?

You're very pro-union I take it, regardless of cost?
