On the other hand, I see lots of SUVs with Obama bumper sticker on. And I'll never forget seeing, shortly after 9/11, a brand-new (still had paper plates on) Cadillac Escalade with a "No Blood for Oil" sticker.

The notion that the loss of menial jobs to overseas workers causes economic hardship is preposterous.

Wouldn't say it's exactly preposterous, but it does overlook the obvious fact that it's generally cheaper to hire Chinese (or Malasians, Bangladeshis, etc) than to invest in industrial robotics, but the robots are cheaper than hiring Americans. So most of the manufacturing jobs aren't coming back, regardless.
