The latest in Commie Chic: “Oba Mao” t-shirts!
Nope, not manufactured by RAAAACIST Tea Party protesters. Manufactured in China and sold by the Chinese for the rest of the Citizens of the World.
Mao-cheerleading White House communication director Anita Dunn has already put in a special order (via Breitbart TV):

Here’s the e-mail of the day, from a beleaguered federal employee at the Commerce Department.
Thanks to the e-mailer for giving us a revealing glimpse into the bowels of the spam-happy, appointee-overrun Obama bureaucracy.
Michelle,
I work for the Department of Commerce as a federal employee…and am getting rather fed up with what I have seen since last [...]

Flashback: Locke with Chinese president Hu Jintao.
I reported extensively on former Washington state governor Gary Locke’s extensive China ties, conflicts of interest, and questionable judgments– all documented well before Locke “sailed through” his confirmation hearing with help from apathetic or clueless Republican senators.

Yeah, he really said we need to copy the New [...]

Not fit to print.

From the left-leaning Seattle Weekly, which has long documented Locke’s cronyism:
Of course, there was that memory loss and all those “I don’t recall . . . I don’t remember” statements to Congressional investigators in 1999, probing his gubernatorial campaign fund-raising efforts; the astonishing $3.2 billion tax break he gave to Boeing while never disclosing he [...]

Is it possible for Barack Obama to pick a Commerce Secretary nominee who’ll actually make it past first base? Bill Richardson withdrew in the midst of a pay-for-play scandal. Judd Gregg withdrew in the midst of a humiliating power play over the Census and porkulus bill.
Now, former Democrat Gov. Gary Locke — a lawyer for [...]
