Obama and Jobs

Cliff May makes a good point at The Corner regarding Barack Obama and his views on American jobs:
According to Obama yesterday (and others on the left on other days) it's a bad thing when American jobs are lost to foreign workers. So why do they not think it's not a bad thing when those foreign workers come here and take American jobs?

I mean, if you're an American worker who has lost his job, is it really worse if that job goes to a guy living in Mexico City than if that job goes to a guy who is from Mexico City?

Wouldn't a better outcome all around be for foreign workers to stay home with their friends and families, get jobs, earn livings— and then buy products made by American workers?

The dissembling of Obama's speech with continue for the next several days. Although the NY Times has declared and end to the Obama race saga (as expected), it's far from over.

John Derbyshire, also at The Corner, has this to say about Obama's speech:
Having slept on the matter, I am now going to come out of the closet and declare clearly and firmly that I don't like Barack Obama one little bit.

What kind of person would traduce his grandmother (who is still alive) to score a political point? Yesterday's speech, read through in the clear light of dawn, is worse than I thought: an ugly mish-mash of ancient socialist clichés and Gen-X spoiled-brat self-congratulation, all enveloped in clouds of flatulent Oprahnian rhetoric. Ugh!

Obama's just a red-diaper baby with a nice smile. I actually like Jeremiah Wright better than I like Obama. At least you know where you are with Wright. Obama, I wouldn't trust to mail a letter.
