All Republican talking points about Obama not creating jobs just became invalid.
Republicans attack Obama on jobs... from OVERSEAS CALL CENTER
Comments ... #
Let's give the whole story and wonder why it's hypocrisy for the RNC, but not for Obama who used the exact same call center?
Why is it a criticism for one and not the other? Where was/is the outrage for when Obama did the same thing?
I really don't care which call center Verizon uses, but let's be consistent here. If it's bad for the RNC to use Verizon, then it's bad for the president, too.

The actual company the RNC used to host this conference call was Verizon. It is exactly the same company Obama for America has paid at least $4,900 since the beginning of President Obama's reelection effort.
Moreover, Obama for America in February paid $78,314.10 to a company called Donor Services Group, LLC for "Telemarketing Services." In fact, that company, which the Obama team uses, outsources to Manila. "DSG operated three four different calling operations," the Telemarketing Service Agreement states. "[I]ts ‘Manila’ program which uses a contracted call center in Manila, Phillipines to make inexpensive calls designed to reinstate older lapsed donors more affordably."
Sweet, for her part, has just now updated her post to reflect the fact that the RNC used Verizon. "The RNC used a Verizon conference calling system," she ads. And she acknowledges that Verizon's chief is close to President Obama: "[N]ote that Obama in 2010 tapped then Verizon chairman Ivan Seidenberg to the White House export council."

Obama's people were obviously duped by Karl Rove, the Koch brothers and W. They never would have outsourced those jobs but the nasty, underhanded, sneaky Republicans set them up.

Don't forget George Bush serves up babies a la carte there too.
I hear that FOX News might be guilty here as well.
