from Strickland's speech in Charlotte:

Mitt Romney has so little economic patriotism that even his money needs a passport. It summers on the beaches of the Cayman Islands and winters on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. In Matthew, chapter 6, verse 21, the scriptures teach us that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. My friends, any man who aspires to be our president should keep both his treasure and his heart in the United States of America. And it's well past time for Mitt Romney to come clean with the American people.

 

Matthew and I looked at each other and asked "What the hell is economic patriotism?" I know about the whole "Buy American" hype, but never figured it was anything but a marketing slogan from the unions.
