While sometimes harming his base, Pres. Bush has, in the past, let the Democrats raise an issue to the boiling point, and then pulled the rug from under the 'Rats by providing his version of a solution to the problem. Medicare is a good case in point. He takes the steam out of them. I expect he hears the outsourcing angst cries, and will do something. It may be something that isn't 'smaller gov't', but it will address the issue, head on, and will remove yet another 'Rat talking point. It's an election year, and he's proven he's no dummy (to me, at least.) Any time Pres. Bush appears to be ignoring an issue, and is getting slammed in polls, he comes back. Be patient. (Even though, as Pres., he doesn't have to.)

That would require a paradigm shift for Bush and his circle on the level of their becoming Muslims. They are completely and totally economically on the side of the MNC and the cause of the MNC is outsourcing. What do you think people do after they leave public life ? They work for MNC's. It's like ambassadors to Saudi Arabia turning into Saudi lobbyists. They aren't about to disrupt the gravy train.

Nothing short of abolishing the H1B program instead of doing his best to enlarge it (his amnesty program would amount to no limit on H1B's) or similar steps would help the perception of him at this point.
