Obama says move your business to China

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Really? He just said, after watching the Olympics he has realized that China’s infrastructure is better than ours (or anywhere else) so businesses are going to be looking into moving their business to China.

Did I miss something? Did he take a day trip to China like he did to Bagdag and get the scoop? Nope. Just saw it on TV. Great resource. The fact is NBC has done their best to make the Beijing Olympics look their best. We never see poor people, rundown buildings, even the smog is not mentioned that often.

But let’s get back to Obama. The infrastructure in China is better? Was he paying attention about a month ago when they got hit by an earthquake? Thousands of children were killed while they were in school. In this country, don’t we use schools as shelters from hurricanes and earthquakes. You will never convince me that if we got hit by an earthquake of equal strength that we would be hurt so bad.

But, he thinks business should move there. Why? Because they don’t have any environmental laws, no labor laws, the use slave and child labor, people make about twelve cents a day.

Get real Obama. The only reason China’s economy is booming is we are buying their products. If our economy hits the toilet (which it will no) then their economy will be in worse shape.  What we are seeing in Beijing is “eye candy” built to impress the world during the Olympics.

Is he really clueless?
