    The Obama administration's view is that if lower-cost foreign labor makes Nike's shoes and athletic gear cheaper to make, that can mean more profits to plow into development efforts in Oregon, where the company says it employs 8,500 workers and delivers an economic impact that tops $2.5 billion per year.

    So, is their point to send even more jobs overseas, and put USA workers out of jobs?

    Buy New Balance.

    I don't know what to think about him, 99% of the time he's a full blown Marxist and then out of the blue he's acting like a republican

    To call him "acting like a republican" is incorrect. Rich people of both sides can be unscrupulous capitalists, rather than the good version of an industrialist.

    "There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible." - Henry Ford

    yeah but what he's doing would be considered free market capitalism at work, i've never seen him do anything that wasn't out of the marxist textbook before this. i'd except him to say that outsourcing is racist and force the company to give those jobs exclusively to african americans.

    But Obama's administration has convinced New Balance -- which maneuvered behind the scenes to work some extra protections into the negotiations -- to put its opposition on hold.

    That's in part because of one of the industry's dirty secrets: Even its model citizen, New Balance, imports 75% of its product from overseas, and it stands to gain from the axed tariffs as well.
    And most of the New Balance shoes are made in China, so you need to be more specific in your call to action.

    You're telling me that someone who supports massive capitalism, big businesses, a booming private sector, private healthcare, individualism, austerity, is Marxist?

    Don't think you've ever met or spoken to a Marxist before.

    Obama doesn't support capitalism he says "you didn't build that." Austerity? He's doubled or tripled welfare under his reign, and the deficits are bigger than ever.You're an idiot.

    I've bought my last pair of NB. Had several pairs of the 993s and it was one of the most comfortable durable shoes I've owned. Came in a wide as well. Worth the $150. The replaced it with the 990 which looks identical and is priced the same. But it's cheaply made in comparison. Expensive yard shoes now.
    Have some Asics now and they are better made and more comfortable.

    Yeah not wanting to be tortured and have crap stuck up your butt by sadistic mongoloids after what happened to Mussolini is called being smart. Come up with better insults next time other than "oh yeah well hitler did something smart" lol re

    I believe Hillary would fall even further to the right than Obama on your political scale......but don't confuse pro-business with pro-social agenda like most GOP candidates...

    Obama is a Tory. A caretaker of power. Country the bed in 2008...Obama's task was to hand it over to his successor intact, which he will. With enhanced executive powers...

    The GWB excesses became customary under Obama. He even extended them a little bit.

    i'm sorry but obama is not a ing right winger he grew up being mentored by communists. the guy says if you have a business "you didn't build that," expanded the out of welfare, and uses race and class to divide the people communist style. instead of "bourgeois" it is "white people" who are the great satan in his eyes.

    I'm sorry, you're deluded. Obama is a moderate Republican -- his big health care idea was swiped directly from the Heritage Foundation, the deficit went down and there's no bigger friend of Wall Street and the 1%, judging from the returns and the course of policy.

    Corporate profits are at an all time high, effective tax rates close to historic lows.
