CINCINNATI (AP) -- Treasury Secretary John Snow says outsourcing of American jobs, a hot issue in the presidential campaign, can help make the economy stronger.

"It's part of trade," Snow said. "It's one aspect of trade, and there can't be any doubt about the fact that trade makes the economy stronger."

Somebody tell this guy to SHUTUP until after the election.

I agree... Even in the off chance that it's true, it's stupid to publicly take that position during an election cycle.

"The economy's stronger, sales are going up, competition's tough," he said.

"I think that's a message that you probably find repeated in every boardroom around America," Snow added.


In every BOARDROOM, not in every LIVINGROOM.

A Snow job.

Maybe it is time to outsource Snow for someone who has the American peoples interests at heart.

GWB needs a new treasury secretary, preferably one with a political IQ somewhat higher than mud and a propensity to keep his or her mouth shut. The whole jobs issue, especially with respect to outsourcing, is not currently inuring to GWB's benefit. Over the last several months, I've seen a lot of people I know getting laid off and they're pissed.

How do we outsource the Treasury Secretary's position?

I cannot imagine what Snow is thinking. It's as if President Bush's staff want to get Kerry elected.

Outsourcing/offshoring is bad for America - and, as November second approaches, it's disastrously bad for the President.
