Obama Brings Home the Bacon From India
http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/ ... acon-india

On his first trip to India, and just days after receiving a "shellacking" in the midterm elections, attributed in part to continued high unemployment, President Obama announced several "landmark" trade deals the White House says will create tens of thousands of jobs back home.

ok! sounds great!

Several of the 20 deals - worth $10 billion and expected to create 53,670 U.S. jobs - were already in the works, but the White House says the president's visit to India helped solidify them.

Sweet!

The commercial deals include: the purchase of 33 737s from Boeing by India's SpiceJet Airlines; the preliminary agreement between Boeing and the Indian Air Force on the purchase of 10 C17s; the Indian military's plans to buy aircraft engines from General Electric; and plans for Harley-Davidson Motor Company, to open a new assembly plant in India.

The president announced the deals in remarks to U.S and Indian business executives, after having meet with entrepreneurs, and then with American CEOs, including Jeffrey Immelt of General Electric. Immelt, whose company also worked a deal to provide 2400 megawatts of gas turbine technology, the largest gas-turbine order in the history of India,

um, what jobs are created?

Don't the people who have worked those deals already have those people in place to manufacture those goods for india.
And whats this about "allowing" Harley-Davidson to build a plant in India? They already manufacture their bikes in India! Why not have HD come here with that plant and create jobs!

oh and there is a rumor floating about that this trip to asia will cost 2 billion dollars, but that is only a rumor.

So the baseless rumor has gone up from $200 million to $2 billion now?

Since when did "some shit i read from some guy in fucking india" become newsworthy?

200 million a day for 10 days equals 2 billion.

Notice i said rumor. I do not have the facts as to what it will cost due to the trip just beginning and most of the money has not been spent yet.

When did global warming become newsworthy?

[benji]

When a bunch of people tried to use it as justification for a power grab?

[Lamrock]

Since when did "some shit i read from some guy in fucking india" become newsworthy?

When did global warming become newsworthy?

When it started to negatively affect the Earth? It may not be "newsworthy" since it doesn't effect Amurikuh all that much, but it does cause flooding, make Africa even more unlivable, and continues to get worse at a dangerous rate. Perhaps when it affects your home (and it will) and God™ doesn't save you, you'll sing a different tune.

wrong, it only became newsworthy after the crowd of global cooling activists started clambering about the possibility of global warming. btw the past ten years have been getting cooler overall not warmer.

oh and for your information this cycle of activists changing their minds on cooling versus warming ruining the earth has been going on for the past 130+ years!
