Macaca moment Sen. Barack Obama's campaign handlers sent out a not-for-attribution memo recently slamming Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for courting Indians and Indian-Americans while supporting outsourcing, ultimately crowning her "Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab)." There was a kerfuffle, and the senator from Illinois apologized Monday to the senator from New York, claiming he had never even seen the memo. Uh-oh. It has become "Obama's Macaca moment," Kerry Howley of Reason magazine said yesterday. "So is Clinton in bed with the enemy? ... To whip up hysteria about outsourcing is to pit American against American; the Americans who benefit from lower prices, increased productivity, and job creation, against those whose jobs are lost to more efficient producers," Miss Howley wrote. "It's a cheap shot. And when a candidate who promises to rebuild alliances with the rest of the world characterizes mutually beneficial trade relationships as violence; when his campaign casts investment in allies as a failure of fealty; you've got to wonder what his actual diplomacy is going to look like."
