Well, that link kinda stops in April. But, as a general rule I'd not like to see our military fighting with ammo made in China. They're ok for crappy electronics that tear up regularly but are cheap... and, um, that's about all. I certainly don't understand giving them the right to make our gear, which needs to be reliable, when they can't even be bothered to keep lead out of toys for children.

I basically f'n hate stuff from China, and I work diligently to not buy it where possible -- though in some cases their crappy shit is ubiquitous. That said, I don't know how this is an "Obama" issue as opposed to a general issue with our trade structure that we've had with presidents since Reagan on through.
