Intel Chief: Don't Call Us Benedict Arnold CEOs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday May 1, 2004 @04:25AM from the highwayman-ceos-no-good-either dept.

theodp writes "In a USA Today interview, Intel CEO Craig Barrett pooh-poohs arguments against outsourcing, explaining 'We do not send our basketball teams to compete against the rest of the world, saying the other teams have to play slower because our folks aren't fit enough to run as fast.' He is also fed up with being called a Benedict Arnold CEO (perhaps he'd prefer Unemployed Computer Scientist). Barrett pegs K-12 math and science education as the biggest threat to U.S. employment, but when pressed about U.S. kids who do well in both, attend excellent universities, but have no guarantees of good jobs when they graduate, Barrett remarks 'I don't have a solution to that one.'"

Um... Are your per chance British? When we in the USA speak of this man it is because he was a traitor to the USA not to Britian. We don't care about being a traitor to Britian at the time, because all of our founding fathers were in a sense a traitor to them.
