Obama against Outsourcing

Lets hope Barrack Obama does not become the President of the US. According to news reports, Obama has promised to ban outsourcing that has led to unemployment in the US of late. This was one of the promised made in the election manifesto. Hillary Clinton was however favouring outsourcing. Obama if he decides against outsourcing, can badly impact the BPO and Call centre organisations and can subsequently lead to rise in umeployment in india. Lets hope that does not happen

Indian influence in US polls

The three million-strong Indian-American communities is believed to have swung the electoral fortunes of major US Presidential hopefuls, including Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, in the primaries of 'Super Tuesday'.

For Democratic Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, the community has not only played a crucial role in the run-up to the primaries both by way of physical and financial support, but also with their huge concentrations in big and diverse states may have played even a 'swing' role.

The Indian community is present in large numbers and constitutes a sufficient proportion of the population in New York, New Jersey and California. In California, heir voting impact has certainly helped Clinton get this huge state that offered as many as 441 delegates to the national convention. California is the prime state in the polls as it has the largest population.

It is also believed that Barrack Obama`s anti-outsourcing stand has tilted the favours towards Hillary Clinton who is seen to support outsourcing. Obama had announced that he will levy extra taxes from companies who outsource their work that leads to unemployment in the US.

Bill Clinton has been the main source of support and strength for Hillary and has been constantly monitoring the campaign proceedings. It seems Bill finally will get to spend another four years in the most powerful building in the world, the White House.
