Need help to write a speech? Just call India
"The World Is Flat": An Oregon politician hires an Indian firm for a talk on, uh, globalization
Monday, November 27, 2006
JANIE HAR

First, U.S. companies took their operations overseas. Then, they uprooted their call centers.

Now, an Oregon legislator has joined the outsourcing trend by hiring a company from India to help him craft a speech.

On globalization, of course.

State Sen. Frank Morse, R-Albany, delivered a speech on globalization to the Friends of the Albany Public Library that was put together by a company in Bangalore, India.

2. All I can say is that is pathetic....
we should make it mandatory that all politicians have to write their own speeches. We would soon see how stupid so many of them are.
