Sen. Clinton (D-Punjab)
Posted by JUSTIN MILLER | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email Author
An opposition document from Barack Obama's campaign makes Hillary Clinton out to be a tool of Indian business interests and donors, mocking her as "Sen. Clinton (D-Punjab)," reports the New York Daily News, which received the document from the Clinton campaign.
The Punjab reference came from a joke Clinton made herself at a fundraiser hosted by an Indian doctor when she said "I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily, after being introduced by Singh as the Senator not only from New York but also Punjab."
Most of the document accuses the Clintons' of investing in Indian companies that outsource jobs to India. One article said Clinton helped outsourcing pioneer Tata Consulting and then quotes her as saying the company "actually brought jobs to Buffalo. Outsourcing does work both ways." Another point said Clinton accepted $60,000 in contributions from employees of Cisco Systems, which laid off American workers to hire Indian "techies." All of the points in the oppo doc quote news stories.
