We too believe the "Buy American" stipulations in the Congressional Radical Anti-American Pork (CRAAP) Act is lethal and toxic to the world economy.
President Obama is learning discretion. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and their fellow Socialist Moonbats are tying to use the President to pass their radical socialist 40 year wish list.
We encourage the President to wake up to this exploitation and show more discretion. Stick to your promises, Mr. President. Don't let the nutjobs like Speaker Pelosi bring you down.
Why did you trust them in the first place? Grow a pair, Mr. President. Seriously.
You "trump" Congress, sir!
The European Union warned the US yesterday against plunging the world into depression by adopting a planned “Buy American” policy, intensifying fears of a trade war.
The EU threatened to retaliate if the US Congress went ahead with sweeping measures in its $800 billion (£554 billion) stimulus plan to restrict spending to American goods and services.
Gordon Brown was caught in the crossfire as John Bruton, the EU Ambassador to Washington, said that “history has shown us” where the closing of markets leads — a clear reference to the Depression of the 1930s, triggered by US protectionist laws.
Last night Mr Obama gave a strong signal that he would remove the most provocative passages from the Bill.
“I agree that we can’t send a protectionist message,” he said in an interview with Fox TV. “I want to see what kind of language we can work on this issue. I think it would be a mistake, though, at a time when worldwide trade is declining, for us to start sending a message that somehow we’re just looking after ourselves and not concerned with world trade.”
Don't forget, we pissed off Canada.
