New US president: The India factor

[OhioChick]

Wednesday, March 5, 2008 (Washington)
As the US Presidential election is reaching to a decisive phase, many in India debate as to which party will be good for the country once the final results are declared.

While most Indians are supporting the Democrats in their battle against Republicans for the White House, ironically, analysts say Republicans are probably better for India on issues ranging from outsourcing to the nuclear deal.

Democrat Presidential hopefuls Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton are known for their opposition to the nuclear deal. In fact, Obama was one of several Democrat senators who tabled what were called ''killer amendments'' to kill the deal.

Democrats also lean against outsourcing to India. Obama has said, ''We have to stop providing tax breaks for companies that are shipping jobs overseas.''

Obama also rubbed Indians the wrong way when his campaign staff called Hillary the senator from Punjab because of her close ties with the community.

Republican John McCain, on the other hand, has suggested that India should replace Russia in the G-8.

Almost every member of the Republican Party has backed the Indo-US nuclear deal and with his Republican free market economic policies McCain is not against outsourcing.

America's India policy is now stable and strong but it's clear that Democrats will be a little tougher on some aspects of Indo-US relations than the Republicans.

1. So do you do any non India-related outsourcing posts?

2. Sure Do.

This is an important issue for many.

6. Hasn't this been addressed in the past for your exclusive benefit?

I think the OP has explained her views on why Indian outsourcing hits closest home to her situation... repeatedly! If you have something to add, then please add. If all you are trying to do is start an argument without any logical debate, then please visit one of the kiddy's gaming forums (abundantly available on every corner of the Internet).

If you have ever followed the OP's threads on here, you'd understand that she equally has a problem with the outsourcing of US jobs to Mexico, China, Vietnam and the wide variety of other destinations ripe to exploit their masses through the enslavement of cheap labor. The OP is an asset to this board and the US labor force. You are proving to be just another blip on the radar screen of disrupter.

If you disagree, add something to it.

7. Why didn't Obama run with this in Ohio?

Dammit, he could've CREAMED her with this. Instead he went with the factually ambiguous flyer and look where that got him.
