The Water Cooler Title: After Slamming Obama For Being ‘Anti-Manufacturing,’ Gingrich Campaign Caught Selling T-Shirts Made In El Salvador In the latest embarrassment for Newt Gingrich’s floundering presidential campaign, an ABC producer discovered that Gingrich’s campaign T-shirts are not being made in America, but in El Salvador, even as Gingrich spends his time on the campaign trail calling American manufacturing “crucial” to the economy’s future. Gingich has also slammed the Obama administration for being “anti-manufacturing.” According to the producer, Gingrich had originally said he would make sure his campaign gear was manufactured in America. Gingrich was confronted about the gear on the campaign trail as he awkwardly held up one of the shirts in question:
Watch it:
Gingrich spokesperson Michelle Selesky tried to intervene by throwing the blame on campaign volunteers. Gingrich quickly took the cue and echoed her excuse. On the campaign trail, Gingrich has repeatedly called for a resurgence in American manufacturing. He has denounced the EPA, the National Labor Relations Board and other agencies and regulations for “killing manufacturing jobs.” However, in March, Gingrich also made a misstep when he said that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) worked because it created jobs — in Mexico and Canada.

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice. #2. To: hondo68 (#1) Every president since Bush 1 has been a "Chinese dupe".
#3. To: Brian S (#0) Reminds me of Pat and Bay Buchannan's presidential run,where both were screaming "Buy AMERICAN!",while both owned and drove Mercedes. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.

To: Skip Intro (#2) Every president since Bush 1 has been a "Chinese dupe". Make that 'since Nixon'.
#5. To: mininggold (#4) Make that 'since Nixon'. Yeah, he was the one who opened it up all right. But to some people here it all started the day Obama was inaugurated.
#6. To: Skip Intro (#5) Your Kenyan hero is down to 40% in the Gallup tracking poll. Seems only the dredges are buying you asshole's bullshit any longer. http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #7. To: no gnu taxes (#6) Is anybody buying your bullshit?
