I just wanted a sound bye from Barack Obama who very recently suggested that Clinton was benefiting from Indian American ties at the expense of native US workers. Did he expect such pro-outsourcing comments from the lady?
I also wanted to hear something from Indian American hotelier Sant Singh Chatwal who the other day has organized fund raiser gala and collected $2 million for the presidential election candidate. Did he expect such comments? 
All those who thought (rival campaigners) Hillary Clinton is pro-outsourcing following series of events involving fund raising etc with Indian-Americans will now have to change their opinion about her. Hillary Clinton, the presidential election front-runner has said that outsourcing was an issue for Americans and they may be considering ending various tax incentives for outsourcing. Read
This is what she has to say about outsourcing, which she termed as ‘problem’
Outsourcing is a problem. We have to do several things: End the tax breaks that still exist in the tax code for outsourcing jobs; have trade agreements with enforceable labour and environmental standards; help Americans compete, which is something we haven't taken seriously, which goes back to the very first question about education and skills.
Let's not forget that 65 per cent of kids in an age cohort do not go on to college. What are we doing to help them get prepared for the jobs that we could keep here that wouldn't be outsourced? And find a new source of jobs. Clean energy, global warming would create millions of new jobs for Americans.
