Heightend State of Hypocrisy

The picture above was downloaded from the Internet in December 2010. The photo depicts (D) Harry Reid and Chinese Windmill manufactures who just received a $450,000,000 million dollar contract to supply, install and operate wind farms in the West. The funds came from our Stimulus Act. Even though Harry Reid seemed to be a central player in the deal the cash actually came from tax dollars and debt, most of which is supplied by the Chinese. You will note Senator Reid appears to be quite satisfied with the big deal with the Chinks. Not overlooking the American worker is completely ignored in the jobs to build , install and operate the wind farms. We seem to have cut a deal that brings more debt to the taxpayers and more interest payments to China. We upset the trade balance even further and deny American Manufacturers to participate in new technology green energy. Worse we allow the Chinese to profit from the  installation and operation  of the wind farms for nevermore.
Why is this important today? In today's news is an angry Harry Reid from Nevada (same guy) bashing the purchase of US Olympic Uniforms supplied by Ralph Lauren but, Made in China. In his angry delivery this morning he said " I wish they would put them all in a pile and burn them" The Chinese spokesman answered the charges with a patronizing reply paraphrasing " The Olympics are not about politics and the US is guilty of bringing Nationalism into the games". The Chinese Competitors Uniforms were also  "Made in China" a glaring revelation in our balance of trade with the Chinks.
I thought the charges of Nationalism a bit humorous noting all the flags on display on every uniform and the Anthems always present when the competitors file in. One would hope all the American Flags displayed are Made In USA but, also doubtful.
 I must admit I personally did not care for the uniforms chosen from Ralph Lauren. The hypocrisy of Harry Reid is more than I could stomach and forces me to remind readers of the photo of Harry and his Chink buddies in happier times. The Nationalism I suspect will fade after the election and Harry will return to his day job of Greedy Politician.
