Obama's outsourcing stance political rhetoric: Forrester

John McCarthy, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Forrester Research, said Obama’s stance on outsourcing was just rhetoric. “I think you’ve got to step back and understand the position that he is in. He is looking at a world, where he is very clearly going to be probably facing 10% unemployment sooner rather than later,” he said. “That unemployment rate is going to stay that high well into next year. He is very nervous that he is going to face the mid-term elections in the fall next year where unemployment is still at 10%.”
