Yesterday, President Bush gave a speech on the economy at JS Logistics, a trucking, courier and warehouse business. Behind him was a painted backdrop showing industrial shelving filled with boxes carrying a "Strengthening America's Economy" and a "Made in the USA" stamp. To compliment the backdrop, real boxes were stacked around the audience.
These real boxes, however, had to be "modified" in order to be appropriate as part of a set for the President's speech - or at least what has been described as an "overzealous" staffer thought so. Every one of the real boxes had a label on it saying "Made in China", and each one had the "Made in China" label covered with a piece of paper.
Maybe it's a silly thing to pick on, yet it just seems to be so representative of the Bush administration and it's constant attempts to make us see only what it wants us to.
