Obama, who has got re-elected now, was always telling he would be giving tax breaks for the companies who are ready to invest only in the United States, adding, as the country cannot retreat from globalization, it should take proper steps that can ensure that the jobs from the country are not shipped to other nations. He had also accused his opponent Mitt Romney, who was the Ex-Governor of Massachusetts, telling he had outsourced American jobs to Asian nations such as China and India. Apart from that, before becoming the President, he had warned about stopping tax breaks for the American firms who ship their jobs overseas and lend those tax breaks on those firms who create the jobs only in the United States.
