OBAMA’S DONOR’S COMPANY HAS THE U.S. OLYMPIC UNIFORMS: MADE IN CHINA

BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff – July 13, 2012 1:01 pm


Lawmakers were livid to discover that the United States’ Olympic team uniforms were made in China. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) even suggested “they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again.”

The company who designed the uniforms, Ralph Lauren, has received less scrutiny. Few outlets have noted that Ralph Lauren himself is a prominent contributor to President Obama and the Democratic Party.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Lauren has given $7,300 to Obama since 2008, and more than $35,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

Obama’s own ties to outsourcing have come under scrutiny of late. His much-vaunted green energy loan program awarded billions of taxpayer dollars to foreign-owned companies and firms that manufacture their products overseas.

It is unclear whether the DNC will be returning Lauren’s donation. DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse did not immediately return a request for comment.

    Funny how a costume makes my highly paid elected representatives livid but when $100,000,000 worth of worthless counterfeit parts for our military defense is okay.I would rather spend my tax dollars on overpriced American made parts for my defense than low bid, out sourced Chinese crap!!!!!!!! Why the hell are we even buying ANY foreign parts for our military???? Missile guidance systems, control systems for our jets, ammunition and GOD knows what else. Outsource clothing, NOT MY MILITARY DEFENSE!!!!!!!!! MORONS. And another thing is why the hell did I have to learn it from the BBC and not my LOCAL news source.
