NEW DELHI: India-US trade may be flourishing but the trade deficit, which is overwhelmingly in India's favour, needs to be addressed to ensure a more equitable relationship between the two countries, Hillary Clinton said.
"This, added to the outsourcing debate in my country, could raise questions about the nature of our relations."
She is the favourite as the first-ever woman US presidential candidate for 2008. But US senator Hillary Clinton and former first lady, while addressing the India Today conclave here on Saturday evening, treated an adoring audience with some truths refreshingly bereft of rose-tinted glasses.
The message could not have been clearer. Open India's markets and increase Indian investment in US. This will have the happy effect, she said, of deterring the negative noises against India, that, she clarified, falls short of an anti-India sentiment.
Combining a message to a domestic constituency and one of America's newest strategic partners, Hillary observed that US policy makers needed to address the fact that Americans were steadily losing jobs. The way to address this, she added, was to maintain the scientific and research edge that the US has enjoyed thus far.
Last year, Hillary authored a legislation in the senate that demanded information and data protection for outsourced jobs.
She was unapologetic about the controversy it caused in India because it was close to the hearts of Americans whose medical records and income taxes were being computed in far away India.
But it was on the nuclear issue that she gave a glimpse of a realism that India rarely associates with US Democrats. "We have differences on the nuclear question," she said because India's aspirations comes in conflict with US non-proliferation obligations.
But there are ways, she suggested, address India's self-interest in the nuclear field. It is a message South Block associates more closely with the Republicans.
The bottomline is always democracy. It was the subtext of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's speech on Friday, and on Saturday it was her turn to sing paeans to the largest democracies in the world - India and the US. And to welcome two of the newest to the club — Iraq and Afghanistan. "These democracies must be nurtured by us," she said, an unsubtle exhortation for India to step inside Iraq. Because ultimately, India and the US stand for "free nations and free markets."
Monica Lewinsky filled her thong about as well.
On whose authority does she have to go around the world like she's the Queen Bee and mouthe off policies that she hopefully, will NEVER be in a position to affect?
her own
Too bad Hillary can't be "outsourced" out of Congress.
huck fillary
twark main ?
"On whose authority does she have to go around the world like she's the Queen Bee and mouthe off policies that she hopefully, will NEVER be in a position to affect?"
My sentiments exactly. When she tried this crap in Iraq they came out and said the same thing...who is she? LOL
HEY DEMOCRAPS!!!!
THOSE VACATIONS YOU LIBERAL LOONS TAKE TO PLACES LIKE PARIS AND OTHER EURO-TRASH SCUM HOLES.....
That is vacation money going outside of the US.
THAT IS OUTSOURCING!!!!!
No Shit!
Hellery can't help herself. She lacks the mental control, as do most democraps, to stop herself from spewing the liberal mantra. They have all spent so much time spewing and libing the wacko liberal life...that they are now stuck in a liberal mental state.
She knows she needs to look moderate for an future political prospects....BUT SHE CAN'T DO IT.
SHE CAN'T STOP HERSELF FROM SOUNDING AND ACTING LIKE A LEFT WING FREAK.
And, for Republicans, that's a good thing.
Bill Klinton signed NAFTA. Billy signed GATT. If anyone created outsourcing - it's King William the impeached.
..."Refreshingly bereft of rose-tinted glasses."...
Aw, but notice the color of the beads.
Throw a swastika on her jacket and ya got a winner.
Hillary Clinton is as dumb, if not dumber then that CNN idiot Lou Dobbs. That's why Dobbs only has about 300,000 viewers out of the billions that the Clinton News Network tries to reach in the world. Disgusting liberal, uninformed, political vermin!!! Dobbs and Clinton are soulmate Democrats that don't have a clue!!!
dobbs has the standard liberal package....stupid and arrogant
Outsourcing and the open borders will bring the Beast to the throne.
Only because "Our Boys" are pathetic on those issues.
They are stupid.
Longwinded technical arguments that claim we are all better off because 40 plus year old men are losing six figure jobs and working at Home depot only make regular people more angry.
Same as telling us that dropping a hundred fifty million illiterate(in two languages) third worlders on our head in a few years' time though non amnesty amnesty makes the country stronger.
I'd like to beat them with a shovel.
The Evil One will use these issues to split the party.
A third party run(inevitable) will give her slightly over a third of the vote, just enough to win. Then she will use the Patriot Act, with it's lack of warrants and public charges to eliminate her enemies.
The good news is most of these morons will be the first ones in the camps.
