Why? It’s free money from politicians that Americans are repeatedly stupid enough to elect...

I called in a ticket on an HP Laptop Friday and got a tekkie in Communist China, about 400 miles east of North Korea.

Let's not confuse competing for stimulus dollars with receiving a bailout. In the case of the "stimulus", the money is going to be
wasted, sorry
spent, sorry "invested" by the Federal Government. IBM is competing for that business. Many government contracts specifically state the work
cannot occur offshore (whether part of the stimulus or not). As a result, there are many projects in the Washington, D.C. area looking for people. Many state contracts are following that template as well.
That said, I think the spectacle of IBM's CEO sucking up to Obama is disgusting. He may think he's reliving the Great Depression when IBM kept building punch card machines and had warehouses full of them when Social Security came along, needing them. I've worked for IBM for 31 years and would prefer we keep our noses out of politics.
