ONLY IN AMERICA!

EVER WONDERED WHY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY FELL OFF THE CLIFF?

John Smith...usually starts his day early. His alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) typically rang off at 6 am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) starting perking automatically, he took time to shave with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He grabbed a clean dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA) from his closet, put on a pair of designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE), and tied his tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).

After cooking his breakfast in an electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) and drank his morning coffee (MADE IN COLUMBIA), he decided to sit quietly for a few minutes with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to try to balance some remaining funds left in his check book; before going out to look for a job.

After readjusting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) and trying to tune his radio (MADE IN INDIA) back to his favorite station, but for some reason, this morning, he could only get foreign stations to come in clear; so he gave up! After getting into his car (MADE IN KOREA), he noticed he needed to stop and get some gas (from Saudi Arabia). He continued the rest of the day searching for a good paying AMERICAN JOB; going from one hopeful location to the next. Frustrated, at the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, he returned home to check on his Computer (MADE IN MALAYSIA) in hopes of finding employment through some local advertisements.

John soon decided to relax for a while, so he put on some sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA), and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA). The nightly news was on, talking about the economy, and how hard it was to find a job these days. He wondered to himself...looking for a job shouldn't be this hard - in AMERICA.

JOHN, LIKE MANY OF US, ARE HOPING WE CAN GET HELP FROM OUR PRESIDENT; WHO BY THE WAY WAS MADE IN KENYA.

MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK DOESN'T IT!
