Labor Daze

[Posted By Jake]

You can't make this stuff up.

Obama Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has gotten rid of her black limo and taken to riding around Washington, DC in a new Chevrolet Equinox from Government Motors. Solis said she was inspired to have her office purchase the Equinox by the unionized American auto workers and "the pride they take making our automobiles here in America."

The problem is that this crossover SUV is built and assembled in Canada with parts that are also made in Canada. Maybe she is just taking her cue from her boss who took a pretend Midwest bus tour (he flew from rally to rally and then slipped onto the bus at arrival), aboard two special order buses made in Canada.

Our economy is in a difficult place and our workers are struggling. Is it too much to expect the Labor Secretary to celebrate jobs that are actual American jobs? Will this administration ever go to work for American families and stop the fraudulent politicking?
