www.informationweek.com -- Despite President Obama's pledge to retain more hi-tech jobs in the U.S., a federal agency run by a hand-picked Obama appointee has launched a $36 million program to train workers, including 3,000 specialists in IT and related functions, in South Asia. Following their training, the tech workers will be placed with outsourcing vendors in the region that provide offshore IT and business services to American companies looking to take advantage of the Asian subcontinent's low labor costs. Under director Rajiv Shah, the United States Agency for International Development will partner with private outsourcers in Sri Lanka to teach workers there advanced IT skills like Enterprise Java (Java EE) programming, as well as skills in business process outsourcing and call center support. USAID will also help the trainees brush up on their English language proficiency.USAID is contributing about $10 million to the effort, while its private partners are investing roughly $26 million.

Yet another anti-Obama article. As if Bushw as Bush was any different???
When will the stupid Americans finally get it get it through their thick stupid skulls that BOTH of their parties are exactly the
same and differ only in name? They dont care for the little guy at all. USA is NOT a democracy; it’s a one party rule.

We all know the parties are the same fuckin shit. We just need to either re-brainwash more than half of Americans minds or win their hearts and minds over with love and psychedelics. Or have everyone spark a revolution, full scale and do what we do best. Skin all the royalty and take back whats rightfully ours. We’ll burn it all down to the ground in essence of our four fathers, the ones who made sure we can indeed have another revolution. And Dammit I Like that option more than any other.

What is truly beautiful (albeit dangerous), is that people MIGHT ACTUALLY make that correlation.
George Jr. (a “Rep.”) was atrocious, openly mocked and remembered to this very day by most for his anti-American decisions and general tendency to lie.
Obama (a “Dem.”) came hot on his heels, and is essentially providing citizens with the same horrible fodder that his predecessor offered to us.
Might some of the smarter 90-something IQs put 2-and-2 together for once?! These boys are playing a dangerous game with Joe Six Pack and Sally Oven Apron. Good thing most of them are so reliant on the Gov. and already get most of their taxes automatically withdrawn from their “paychecks” save their might be revolution on our doorstep.

Shucks, I forgot one thing though (important thing).
Our “Fore-Fathers” that led us in glorious revolution against the British Monarchy and European banking cartels were/are….drum roll….the very same people effectively (and ironically) imposing rule of illegitimate law and banking cartel on US!
They wanted a “revolution” for a reason, so that THEY could control the purse-strings of America. Now, you can argue till your blue in the face that the European banking cartel has once again infiltrated America once again, but it really doesn’t matter.
There is no longer a elite in American with enough self-interest (c’mon, they already have the power) to revolt; and wouldn’t gain what they already have.
