		<description><![CDATA[The problem with American auto brands is not that "liberals" prefer buying foreign brands, but rather that American automakers have a severe branding problem. Blame us for being snobs, but don't call us unpatriotic, I say!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thequotidian.org&#038;blog=308916&#038;post=81&#038;subd=thequotidian&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama's push for all of us to "Buy American" should make us realize how difficult or impossible it actually is to call a product "American" or "foreign." But no matter what your definition is, one cannot hope for truly informed decisions to be made by consumers without having the real, raw information made readily available to them.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thequotidian.org&#038;blog=308916&#038;post=60&#038;subd=thequotidian&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
