My friend told me that if Romney was elected his dad would lose his job?
I asked him what is his dad's job was and he would not tell me.
I am just trying to guess what his dad's job is.
So I am asking, what jobs could be lost just because a certain president got elected?
Besides obvious ones like the administrations jobs.

His dad won't be the only one.
Republicans voted 13 times against considering Democratic efforts to prevent or discourage the shipping of American jobs overseas and to crack down on offshore tax havens; and
in favor of pro-outsourcing measures.
For the last decade, Republicans have fought to keep, and even expand, corporate tax loopholes that reward outsourcing of American jobs and hurt American families and the economy (fully detailed here). President Obama noted in 2010, “Over the last four years alone, Republicans in the House voted 11 times to continue rewarding corporations that create jobs and profits overseas – a policy that costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year.” [10/16/10]

Since taking control of the House in 2011, Republicans have voted:
- For the GOP Job Outsourcers’ Bill of Rights that makes it easier for corporations to send American jobs overseas and weakens the rights of middle class workers, allowing employers to relocate their operations to punish employees for exercising their rights to organize, demand better benefits and safer working conditions, and ensure a full day’s pay for an honest day’s work. [Vote 711, 9/15/11, AFL-CIO]
- Against the Democratic budget that rewards companies that choose to invest in or bring back jobs to America with a 20 percent tax credit, eliminates tax advantages for companies moving jobs overseas, as proposed by President Obama, and closes loopholes that allow businesses to avoid taxes by sheltering earnings in foreign tax havens. [Vote 150, 3/29/12]
- Against considering the Bring Jobs Home Act – the President’s proposal to reward companies that choose to invest in or bring back jobs to America with a 20 percent tax credit, and to eliminate tax advantages for companies moving jobs overseas. [The Record, Vote 456, 7/10/12]
- Against stopping businesses that outsource American jobs from receiving a 20 percent business tax deduction. [Times Republican, Vote 176, 4/19/12]
- Against stopping companies that ship jobs overseas from taking advantage of the repeal of the medical device tax. [Vote 360, 6/7/12]
- Against ending government contracts that reward corporations that ship American jobs overseas. [Release, Vote 19, 1/25/11]
- Against considering the U.S. Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Act to help revitalize a U.S. call center industry that has lost over 500,000 jobs just in the past six years. The measure includes incentives to reduce outsourcing by requiring call centers to notify the Secretary of Labor at least 120 days before relocating outside of the U.S., and giving preference in contracts to employers who keep their call centers at home. [Paramus Post, Vote 381, 6/19/12]
- Against a measure that places a priority on keeping jobs in America, protecting the authority of the National Labor Relations Board to order an employer to maintain or restore jobs in the U.S. that would otherwise be outsourced to a foreign country. [Vote 710, 9/15/11]
- Against a measure to discourage outsourcing by denying the underlying bill’s pro-corporation election rules for companies that ship American jobs overseas and leveling the playing field for workers in union elections. [Vote 868, 11/30/11]
- Against an effort to require work performed under intelligence contracts be first provided to U.S. companies and workers, and not outsourced to foreign-owned companies. [Release, Vote 300, 5/31/12]
- Against a measure to encourage that oil and gas leases be awarded to companies that avoid outsourcing American jobs and that use U.S.-made materials. [Release, Vote 409, 6/21/12]
- Against a measure to ensure that mining companies that receive American permits for mineral exploration not outsource American jobs and make a good faith effort to purchase American mining equipment. [Release, Vote 467, 7/12/12]
- Against a measure to help close overseas tax havens by giving the Treasury Department greater powers to investigate offshore tax abuses and crack down on offenders and banks that aid them, which could reduce the deficit by as much as nearly $1 billion. [Vote 344, 6/6/12]
From 2007-2010, Republicans voted eleven times to:
- Protect tax breaks for corporations that ship American jobs overseas.
- Protect off-shore tax havens for corporations and the wealthiest Americans.
- Protect tax loopholes for CEOs’ deferred compensation paid by off-shore companies, foreign tax haven corporations dodging U.S. taxes, and Americans who renounce their citizenship.
These tax breaks cost American taxpayers over $60 billion

He lied to the yank human beings about Benghazi. we've each and each and every of the emails that were despatched to the White residing house; which incorporates to President Obama which proves that he's to blame for the killing of our ambassador and three different human beings. He knew precisely what change into occurring on the time, quite he determined for 10 days to blame it on a video. even if you're a Democrat or Republican, you need to be outraged at this, and President Obama should be impeached, it really is worse than Watergate, or something that ANY President has ever executed. Flying off the subsequent day on September 12, the day after 4 human beings had died he determined that it change into extra significant to proceed including his fundraising than to manage the yank those with the undeniable reality that this change right into a brutal terrorist attack which he stood via and enable ensue.
