Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential hopeful views the revolution in technology and communication as the reason for businesses being outsourced to India and China.

At a campaign rally in Springfield, Missouri, Obama said, ‘Over the last few decades, revolutions in technology and communication have made it so that corporations can send good jobs wherever there’s an Internet connection. Children here in Missouri aren’t just growing up competing for good jobs with children in California or Indiana, but with children in China and India as well.’

Pitching for his election campaign, Obama suggested a new direction for the economy and said, ‘We can choose to do nothing about disappearing jobs and shuttered factories for another four years, or we can encourage job creation in the United States of America.’

Pointing at a thriving Wall Street and a struggling Main Street, he blamed the outgoing government for its ill-planned economic reforms, which led to growing debt for the population of America.

According to him, the nation has to suffer due to government’s inefficiency to make decisions, keeping in mind, a better future for working people. X
