Well, the last time I checked, Obama and the Democratic Congress *could* do something about our outrageous unemployment numbers but have chosen not to. Look, outsourcing is accelerating, the rate has doubled since January. Obama just approved 165,000 new H1-B visas (March 31) and that certainly means that 165,000 American technology sector workers will join the better than 4.5 million American's loosing their job as a direct consequence of this program compatriots in the unemployment line! Microsoft, IBM, Boeing, HP, Dell, Apple, every major hi-tech corporation, has made recent announcements of American worker layoffs and operations moved to India. Congress could easily pass a series of special punitive taxes on these corporate Benedict Arnold's and reverse this nonsense. If you hit their Indian call centers with a $10 fee for every U.S. customer service call those jobs would move back PDQ. If you hit every H1-B visa with a $100,000 annual fee, the proceeds used to offset the damage done by displacing U.S. workers, open those companies up to lawsuits and fines if they do not hire a qualified U.S. citizen for those jobs, and establishing a pool to educate U.S. citizens to do those those jobs, otherwise. In other words, put the lie to Bill Gates and that smarmy ratbag at IBM and make them pay for their treason. Congress could, without impacting their lunatic free trade policies, do exactly what other countries are doing right now and cut unemployment by 50% or more. They wont, they get too much money from those companies, and horrors like that occurring in Binghamton today will become a common occurrence as people's fury boils over. This is, like it or not, Obama's fault.

That's a post from a guy in the comment section of a story in The Washington Post you linked to eariler. It could all be true but I couldn't find anything to prove it was and good luck to you in your search.

I did find some other stuff you might find interesting while looking that says Obama has the exact opposite stance on outsourcing and the visas that you believe he has.
