Campaign Buttons: Obama's, made in the USA; Romney's, made in China.

Email from my friend in Wisconsin: "Yesterday, I received a call from a lady who works for the Obama campaign out of Watertown....a very conservative, to say the least, farming community. She was so excited to talk to an Obama supporter that we had quite a conversation. One of her fellow workers went to the Romney headquarters in Watertown and "spied". Of course, Romney says he is not for out-sourcing. However, his campaign buttons are made in China. Obama's are made in the USA, union made!!!!"

Side by side comparison of the labels from each party's gear. Romney's made in China and Obama's made in the USA.

But it could turn into a very big issue with some folks. It proves a point about Mr Romoney.
