Made in the USA
The President spoke today from a warehouse to promote his plan to improve the US economy. As always, a White House advance team prepared the facility and constructed a backdrop to convey all the right images. ABC News reported, and BuzzFlash repeated, that although the boxes behind the President carried the Made in the USA label, the warehouse was stocked with material manufactured in China.
Moreover, the labels of the boxes from China were covered with paper so as to accentuate the Made in the USA labels surrounding the President. There seems to be no limit to the amount of chicanery this administration is capable of.
