In reply to the discussion: President Obama looks to be going all in with a campaign against economic inequality [View all]FreakinDJ
(17,644 posts)25. Your post is disruptive and baiting
I asked to see the transcripts of what the previous poster claimed and you basically did the same thing to me
In a speech last year, Obama said called the old rules "loopholes" that "actually rewarded corporations for shipping jobs and profits overseas."
"Even a lot of America's biggest corporations agreed that this loophole didn't make sense, agreed that it needed to be closed, agreed that it wasn't fair," Obama said in a speech. Obama said that John Boehner, then the Republican leader and now the Speaker of the House, "wants to reopen this loophole."

IIRC the President set up a seminar on "insourcing" (bringing jobs back) recently
