"Obama: Interns for me but not for thee"
"Mr. Obama's Organizing for America offered internships to help elect the president in during his presidential campaign and are still offering up unpaid internships today."

"Is this a paid position?
This is an unpaid position.

Are stipends available to cover food, transportation and housing?
Stipends for food, transportation and housing are not available."

This is a right wing utopia.

Are you asking for a handout?

Foxconn's Forced Internship Slavery Program Goes Unchecked

I posted this story because following the public uproar over working conditions at Foxconn Apple 'forced' a review of the working conditions. Not surprisingly the study that was published showed that there was nothing wrong and that working conditions were excellent. Unfortunately the study left out working conditions at subcontracted plants and workers who fell under the class of 'interns'. I guess it's another example of companies 'regulating themselves'.

No, I'm asking if your actions are in step with your outrage.

By your response I will not be surprised to see that they are not.

I suggest you move out of your 50's bomb-shelter mentality and try to keep up with current events.

Considering that Foxconn produces 40-50% of all electronics in the world, if you use a computer then you're probably using products manufactured by the sweat-shops of Foxconn.

I guess if American really didn't like outsourcing we wouldn't allow these products into our country.

Democrats have a lot of explaining to do I suppose.

Are you advocating protectionism or just flinging more of your feces?

You have a problem with outsourcing and wages, talk with your actions.

Are you advocating protectionism....?

Oh sorry, exp did answer.

I don't use any of those products, however, I was really close to buying a Foxconn Bloodrage X-58 motherboard about two years ago. I decided to go with a different board instead: an EVGA P-55 FTW. Glad I did too, that board runs an i5-750 2.66 GHz cpu at 4.0 GHz all day every day on air cooling.

Obama welcomes China's peaceful rise. Just what the world needs - more Chinese influence.

"Obama welcomes China's peaceful rise."

Remember when George Bush toasted the butchers of Beijing after Tianamen Square?

Then again, surrendering is what Republicans do best.

Not really. That said I've personally never advocated for open trade with China. They're one sided opportunists and will never change.

@21
I'm more than happy to criticize Bush for lots of things. Obama repeating the same mistakes makes even less sense.

If we could get control of the spending we might be able to get control of our debt.

"They have his soul, who have his bonds"

Sounds like your typical republican company.

What a great society, economic and political entity! So much choice and so much liberty! Some want us to follow their lead. I will have to write that some of the advice they gave us about a fiscal situation was on the mark, though. Things have come to pretty pass when that is the case.

An employer in America today couldn't hire 430,000 Grains of sand to be a beach with the left and all of it employment rules hung around its neck.

Who the F--k are you kidding.

And the company couldn't hire that many people in 5 years time.
By the time they got through all the Govt. paper work for each employee the product will be obsolete.

People do you really not understand how broken and damaged your country is from Libtart rules...you can achieve nothing with them.

We can NOT compete at any level with the rest of the world because of the Libtarts and their foolishness.

If they don't go...we all do.

....NOPE IN NOVEMBER.....

Every one of the interns has the equal opportunity to be equal. It must be a Liberal Nirvana.

People do you really not understand how broken and damaged your country is from Libtart rules...you can achieve nothing with them.

Yeah! Damn those pesky rules and regs and decent benefits the Democrats and unions want to keep in place for the American worker.

How dare they insist American workers be able to have a least one day off per week, not have to work more than 9 hours a day without overtime compensation, and insist on safety requirements in the workplace being followed.

If only the American employee would agree live to live with 4000 of his fellow workers in a U.S. corporate-owned dormitory, eat one bowl of rice at lunch and one for dinner, make pennies on the dollar, and have literally NO rules and regs when it comes to his/her workplace safety then the Republicans would quit fighting any further attempt to stop outsourcing.

The Republicans won't be satisfied until they are able to put the American employee on equal par with workers of the third world.

But I suppose what's great about it is that now Americans have started to really wake up -- more so than ever before -- as to what the Republican party is truly about and Obama will be a shoo-in come November.

Obama has done a fairly good job of trying to recover when you consider what an absolute mess Bush and his cronies in crime -- both in his Adminstration and on Wall Street -- left in their wake when they brought this nation literally to the brink of a financial meltdown back in October 2008.

A Blood iPod?

I don't want to give my computer or my phone, I just want a fair amount be paid to everyone involved. Is that too much too ask? Do you not care about freedom for all(the american way?)

FoxConn pays a very good wage compared to other local employers; plus benefits like housing and meals. They do compete for labor.

Also, these jobs are not careers. In China they are considered "McJobs" that young people take for a couple years in order to get a stash, so they can return to their home province and start a family business.

Once again, you are spouting shit that you know nothing about.

"so they can return to their home province and start a family business."

I think America has plenty of Happy Ending massage parlors now, thanks.
