with all the one sided blabbering about keeping score how about doing the same for both sides....outsourcing for example outsourcing seems to be the talking point of preference....how many jobs have been outsourced since Obama took office? You can start with GE moving the medical systems operation to China (you know the company Jeff Immelt heads up that is on the JOBS PANEL reorting to Obama).

And then while looking at Bain try to do it from both perspectives....I know a very difficult challenge but none the less really neccessary to be honest (ANOTHER CHALLENGE?). wHEN bAIN OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPANY DOES THEIR JOB, SOME COMPANYS ARE REDUCED OR SHUT DOWN TO MAKE THE REST OF THE COMPANY (excuse the caps...not intended) survive. And there are others that are improved to the point they begin adding jobs. Therefore one must, you just hafta from a reality point (another challenge?) how about the people who got to keep their jobs because some not needed were let go....a hint it is usually more than 90%. And how many new jobs were added to those that were improved by other than reducing people?

ANother hint? Companies like GE that are increasing employment world wide while unemployment here in the USA is either flat or going up.

And yes I suggest you look at the outsourcing from both sides since Obama took office.

Business as usual is such an impediment to progress.
