My 'Happy Birthday' message to Obama

[Triana]

President Obama,

Happy Birthday!

As someone who voted for you, I'd like you to explain this:

U.S. To Train 3,000 Offshore IT Workers

http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/integration/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=226500202

Why is the US selling out its own people? Why is this training not being paid for for Americans IN the US instead - particularly with our unemployment rate as high as it is? And you continue to wonder why the unemployment rate remains high.

This is all about cheap labor for corporations. And we know large corps are the only ones 'recovering' while everyone else languishes in months and months and months of unemployment, losing their homes and savings - their very lives and livelihoods.

I am losing faith in you, I am sorry to say.

How can you do this to your own people?

1. over $7,300 of training per person

tidy little amount saved by some "well-deserving" global employer
