Remarks made by Hillary Clinton in India in 2005 favouring outsourcing, are being targeted in a political advertisement released by a pro-Donald Trump super-PAC, carrying the message, Shes earned Indias trust.
The advertisement by the political action committee Rebuilding America Now features Clinton, then a Senator, at a conclave hosted by an Indian media house in New Delhi in 2005.
The ad plays her remarks on outsourcing in which she says: I dont think you can effectively restrict outsourcing, there is no way to legislate against reality so I think that the outsourcing will continue; but I dont think there is any way to legislate against outsourcing. I think that is just a dead end.
The ad says that Clinton gave the speech and then got a million dollars from India in 2008 for the Clinton Foundation.
The advertisement ends with the messagesOutsourcing jobs for dollars and Shes earned Indias trust. A report in the New York Post said Clintons campaign is pressuring TV stations across the country to stop airing the ad sponsored by the pro-Trump super-PAC.

Singh visited the US in September 2008 to lobby for a deal allowing India to obtain civilian nuclear technology; then-Senator Clinton assured him democrats would not block the deal, the Trump campaign had alleged.
Color me a bit PUZZLED here. This is about getting nuclear reactor technology, not about buying access for H1B gigs which is what the headline would imply.
It’s a lot safer for India to have it than for, say, Iran to. They tend not to have apocalyptic dreams. Maybe there is more to the story, but this part of the account makes it look like Trump miscued and there’s no “there” there.
Excellent!
But frankly I think we could learn something from Indians. One of the chief reasons that their operations eat non-Indian lunches (I know something about it because I, a non-Indian, was invited to such a table through a providential circumstance) is that they CARE about each other. Americans have grown aloof and arrogant in many cases, I am pained to report. Love (if I dare use the word) beats indifference any day.
This is a God problem for America, or rather an ignoring-God problem. to put it bluntly. Not even Trump (alone) can fix that. We have to fight this battle on our knees, asking God to show us and take us where He is, rather than to be a celestial genie taking us where we imagine we want to be.
I totally agree with you.
