To show her support for American workers, President Obama's labor secretary, Hilda Solis, has junked the standard black limo and purchased a new Chevrolet Equinox to ride around Washington in. The problem: the crossover SUV is built and assembled in Canada from parts also made in Canada.
Solis proudly arrived at a media breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor today in the shiny silver vehicle, which she has dubbed the "bullet." She was asked about why she traded the standard-issue limo for the SUV. "What better example could I set if I encouraged my staff to go and purchase and seek how we could acquire a vehicle that would for me would send a signal that we're for supporting our American workers, American-made products, fuel efficient as well," she told the Monitor's Dave Cook, who provided this video of her answer.

Hypocrite. Anyone who knows jack shit about General Motors knows they've pushed most of their production to the north and south of the border.
There's a reason Pontiac sold the Parisienne in the United States. They were selling the same car next door.

I also say hypocrite. No one in this administration cares what the citizens think or feel.
I remember the Parisienne from back in the mid-1960s. Surprise, surprise when you opened the hood. It was powered by a Chevy engine made in Tonawanda, NY.
