Curious: didn't see any stories on this outrage on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC or read about it in The New York Times-Democrat or The Washington Post-Democrat:
About a year ago, Xerox told some 600 employees, many of them engineers, that their jobs were being transferred to an India-based IT services firm.
How has that worked out? Neither company is disclosing detail about what's been going on, but information is leaking out about some layoffs.
The move by Xerox goes to the heart of the outsourcing debate between President Barack Obama and the presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.
It involves outsourcing product engineering employees, a skill set often linked to the nation's innovation capacity, to an offshore company. Will Xerox's moves result in a net gain or net loss of jobs? The answers may still be in the future, but one of the people involved has the president's ear.
Xerox's CEO, Ursula Burns, is playing a prominent advisory role in the Obama administration as the vice chair of the President's Export Council as well serving on the President's Jobs Council.
As Jim Geraghty observes, Mitt Romney has outsourced a grand total of zero jobs, while our beloved President Zippy McStatist has spent about $29 billion of your money outsourcing. At least.
Oh, and vintage media hacks: don't bother picking up this story and running with it. We've got it handled, thanks.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Actually the correct term is “offshored” jobs. Outsourcing can be nothing more than having the shop down the street make the widgets.

So what? Bank of America was given billions in Tarp Funds under Obama and offshores their IT and after hours customer service to India to save 100’s of millions that would other wise be paid to Americans.
The dems are hypocritical bastards.
They have disparaged Governor Romney for things he has not done but that they themselves do. It's part of their strategy of distracting the voters from what they have been up to so that we will "bet on America" by voting for President Obama while they gamble with our country's future and bet on our stupidity.
I know that Pubbies have complained about the Fiskers, etc, with the green jobs outsourcing, but that PALES in comparison to the number of jobs Obama has forced offshore due to an oppressive business climate. Going further than that, teacher’s unions have offshored even MORE jobs over the last 40 years by contributing greatly to the production of entire generations of largely worthless and unskilled but somehow “entitled” employees.
