I bet he's digging out his Obama button checking it out.

They don't need a union bug on everything, so all their campaign swag is much cheaper to have made.

oh brother
I'd be shocked if you could even find a button manufacturer in the US any more...

So? I'm not running for president and running my mouth off on the evils of China and Russia; I don't have my money in Swiss Banks or Cayman Island Banks and actually worked for everything I own. I don't shop at Wal-Mart so some of what I buy is made in America. And if I were running for President I'd sure as hell not make the mistake of having my campaign buttons made in China.
