So much for American jobs. So much for stimulus. Well, wait a minute, maybe we shouldn’t refer to “stimulus” in this story.
McClatchy reports:
In a move expected to cost 300 American jobs, the government is switching to cheaper off-shore condoms, including some made in China.
The switch comes despite implied assurances over the years that the agency would continue to buy American whenever possible.
“Of course, we considered how many U.S. jobs would be affected by this move,” said a USAID official who spoke on the condition that he would not be named. But he said the reasons for the change included lower prices (2 cents versus more than 5 cents for U.S.-made condoms) and the fact that Congress dropped “buy American language” in a recent appropriations bill.
So the Obama administration is doing exactly what they condemn American business for doing – outsourcing to cheaper foreign companies.
First they import cheap condoms, then they increase spending on abortions. Now it all makes sense.

OC Madam & Joe from New Hampshire:
Those are both so funny. We are in the process of finding a good bumper sticker printer and will print up a ton of "I Hate The Media" stickers. When they are done, you two are getting one. So go to the Contact page and tell us your address (might be a few weeks).
In fact, I think we'll start using these bumper stickers for
bribesrewards for other incredible comments, stories and whatever else makes us do a back flip.Chinese condoms, what a great way to put lead in your pencil!
WHAT THE...?!?! It's more like Mao Tse DING DONG condoms, that's what.
Before you get your ying off on some sweet yang we gotta say, with a frunny accent, "No protection - no affrection!"
What a bunch of hypocrites. As i was saying at Chuck thinks right, few in the MSM will cover this, thus the fools who support Obama will realize that he ain't really the best thing since sliced bread.
This is just another case of hussein saying one thing and doing the exact opposite.
Back when I posted the reply to your comment, I went and psoted to Twitter right away. This just fit in:

Lead condoms, cube? Well, at last they won't break. :)
Oh, you're expecting the BO administration to make sense all of a sudden? When that happens, it will be a first.
As far as chicom condoms go, they'll be of the same quality that the chicom melanine-dogfood and the leaden-toys were. Comon.
