    Wow, that is a HUGE faux pas. Maybe it's time to review all purchases by all Bush administration staff as well to see if they bought something that wasn't entirely made in the States! This is truly an issue that is important to all americans.

    Wouldn't it be doing the same thing as the original article is doing: checking where products are made and then assigning shame?

    Back in the day, a Chevy was an American made car, and the hated foreign import was Toyota. Now if the Sec of Labor had bought a toyota, she would be correct in bragging, since they are made right here in America now.

    She bought a Chevy here in America, and the people who sold it here got paid. That's what keeps the American, and global economy going, the more the money is circulated, the more it grows. No circulation, NO economy. Despite popular low information beliefs, rich people don't create jobs, CONSUMERS do. This whole economic downturn is driven by consumer being in debt, with no jobs, and the ones with a job, are paying bills, and holding on to dollars for themselves. Bet you are too. Rich people don't believe in hiring or investing unless people are buying, and what's telling that we all ignore, is rich people are running lean, and making big profits.

    Now if people weren't in debt, and not saving but spending, you bet your booty, rich people would be hiring, so they can make more money.

    So give the lady a break, she thought she was doing great buying an American car.

    Sorry, can't give the Secretary of Labor a break for bragging on American-made products that aren't American-made. It's her job to know these things. Otherwise, I wouldn't care that it was Canadian-built.

    So now you're just resorting to outright lies about me. And think, just yesterday you had the audacity to call me "one of the worst offenders" for posting misrepresentation.

    Some of my dearest friends are liberals, and If you paid attention you'd know I'm in more than one fantasy league with a few guys around here that certainly aren't conservatives. We have a god time.

    But thank you for revealing who really is one of the worst offenders at misrepresentation, you.

    See my post to NK. But I ask, who gave Bush or anyone in his administration a break?
