BYW, more jobs went offshore under Clinton than Bush but I don't recall people blaming him. Can you produce a link for this? I doubt this very seriously and I'll tell you why- because it is VERY DIFFICULT to get companies to own up to how many jobs were shipped offshore. If you ask applied materials for example they will say that no jobs have been shipped offshore, and that the fact that they are hiring like gangbusters in China and laying off here is a "skills realignment" or something.

lights, camera, action .. Are they really ready for prime time? In terms of stagecraft, they aren’t there yet. Dean is self-conscious about his stature. He claims to be five-eight and three-quarters. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in his company and, while he is an energetic presence, he isn’t a tall one. If he’s nearly five-nine, I’m Larry Bird. But Dean’s problem isn’t his height, it’s his humorlessness. He isn’t a guy to make fun of himself (the way his own dad did, calling himself “Short Me” as he strode energetically through life). In any case, his staff opened him to ridicule by the way they staged the endorsement from former NBA star Bradley. If Dean is going to stand on a soapbox, which, in effect is what he was doing, you don’t allow the TV cameras to film the whole thing from behind. It was a silly, amateurish effort at stage-managing a fact that couldn’t really be hidden in the first place.
