Do you blame Obama for the wealthy businesses moving jobs overseas?

...instead of hiring workers here in the USA?

Steve Jobs had told Obama that he has created over 40,000 jobs in China manufacturing the iphone.

When Obama asked when these jobs will return to the USA, S. Jobs replied, "Never."

This is the norm with big business.

Labor rates are are unbelievably cheap overseas.

The USA cannot compete with them.

So:

Why blame Obama for this when he had nada to do with it?

Why cuddle these 1%ers as if they are "job creators" in the USA when they clearly have no desire to creates jobs here?

Why are so many of you worried about what happens to these 1%ers since they, cheat the government out of 100's of billions of dollars in tax revenues (via Cayman Islands, etc.)?

I'd rather we look out for the middle class. They are the true "job creators". 70% of jobs created are thru the small businesss.

    No. I blame the GOP for filibustering a Bill that imposed Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas- A bill that would have eliminated a tax break that companies get when they ship jobs overseas. Republicans blocked this, allowing companies to keep the tax break they receive when they ship jobs to other countries.

    No I blame greed of the 1% they could bring jobs back but why would they ? my job was shipped to Asia last year why because they can do it better ? hell no they have been sending junk back and it takes them 14 people on 2 shifts to do what 7 Americans did on 1 shift. I know it's always the unions or EPA that the retardicans blame but I don't work in a union factory we didn't have EPA issues.

    I don;t. I blame Obama for not getting the jobs to move back to the US> the jobs are moving out of CHina, but not back to the US. The companies are concern with constant changing laws in the US, and the complex regulations that makes it hard to follow.

    What I am more concern is Obama is supporting illegal activities to get Jobs back here. I am hearing that our customs agents are purposefully destroying goods imported here .

    all of it appears like a undesirable dream. The Obama presidency, the industry crash, and guy-made worldwide warming. i actually think of those form of issues are proper, for in spite of is to befall our financial equipment and way of existence in united states of america of america in the oncoming onslaught from Obama. Its all an inconvenient certainty that worldwide warming rip-off could come on the heels of the 2008 election. The industry has crashed, the government has actual taken over the banks and now our automobile agencies, yet for what objective. Obama’s presidency rhetoric has hinted on an infinite flow of wealth from the splendid to the backside in the indoors maximum sector. this may be because of the fact too many human beings that are no longer area of the blue bloods have made thousands and thousands and disenchanted the status quo. Time for them to get admission to their political connections and positioned capitalism on trial. it is what it is. a huge trial the place Obama gets to stack the courts with chosen judges who will greater his Socialist schedule.

    It has been happening (documented) much before Obama was voted into office. This does not imply Obama will reverse the course. It's simply goes to say that the problem is rather systemic than political.

    I blame the wealthy businesses. They got rich here because there was opportunity. Working slugs are expected to be patriotic and I can't see why wealthy people can't be, too. In fact, ever since corporations became people, they should be required to HAVE a certain percentage of their work force here in the US or not be allowed to do business here.

    You forgot to say why Steve Jobs moved Apple products over to China:

    It wasn't taxes, but regulations and Unions in particular.

    Unions have made the manufacturing of high priced items in the US nearly impossible. To keep products available to the average consumer, Corporations are forced overseas in order to compete in a global market.

    As long as we keep piling on regulations and as long as Unions keep strangling the economy with obscene benefits/wages, American businesses will continue to move overseas to remain competitive.

    No. Big companies had been taking advantage of unfair trade agreements long before Mr. Obama went to Washington.
