Resolve...

On November 6, 2004 the AP reported:

"President Bush strongly opposes any treaty or policy that would cause the loss of a single American job, let alone the nearly 5 million jobs Kyoto would have cost," said James Connaughton, chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. [Emphasis is mine]

Today, CNN quotes Bush:

Praising India's expanding economy, President Bush warned today that fears about job outsourcing to other nations should not prompt the United States to limit global trade. "It's true that some Americans have lost jobs when their companies move their operations overseas," Bush said in a speech in New Delhi. "Some people believe the answer to this problem is to wall off our economy from the world through protectionist policies. I strongly disagree." [Emphasis mine]
