Outsourcing the Presidency

Democratic Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards gave a speech in South Carolina where he proposed outsourcing our current President:

He drew his biggest response when he criticized Bush administration officials for suggesting that outsourcing American jobs is good for the economy.
The audience responded with boos, but they suddenly turned to cheers at Edwards’ next words.
“Here’s what would be good for the American economy — to outsource George W. Bush.”

Clever. Only it doesn't make any sense. "Outsourcing" doesn't apply to specific individuals. Unless he wishes that we could lend our President to another country. Perhaps France? Outsourcing is typically the moving of a company's service sector jobs that can be performed remotely and sending them overseas to be manned by individuals who can do the work for lower pay. It's not the sending of an individual overseas to do a task. That would amount to nothing more than a standard relocation.

A more apt use of Edwards' outsourcing gag would be to apply it to Kerry's proposed foreign policy plan. He appears to desire outsourcing the foreign policy and CINC roles to the United Nations or some other multilateral body. By farming out responsibilities that have traditionally been held by the president, he would be outsourcing those roles to other nations, allowing him to pursue his presidency on the cheap at the expense of our economic and military power.
