Mattel - Is not - Apologizing To China
Mattel - Is - Apologizing to the - Bush Family

The Uncle of Pres. Bush
Prescott Bush
Chairman, U.S.-China Chamber of Commerce;

U.S.-China Chamber of Commerce - The membership roster includes United Airlines,
American Express, McDonald''s, Ford and Arthur Andersen,
the Beleaguered company that audited Enron''s books.

These companies that do business in China - Have got to be paying some form of tribute
to Prescott Bush.

Any person - Who enjoys - $9.00 a month - Slave Labor - Who also Allows -
Lead Painted Toys - Defective Merchandise - Tainted and Poisoned Food Stuffs -
To be shipped to the US. - Intended for use and consumption by the American consumer.

Knowing all the while - The Ratifications - of Poisoned Food - Lead Poisoning and
potentially Defective and Hazardous products. Knowing this -
Yet - Continues to Allow those imports.

Needs to be : Held personally Responsible and Criminally charged and Prosecuted
Perhaps this is why - Pres. Bush - Will allow only one (1) Inspector at each port of entry.

Prescott Bush connections to an American firm, Asset Management, came into question
in 1989, The company was the Only U.S. firm able to - Skirt - U.S. sanctions
and import (smuggle) Communications (Spy ??) Satellites into China.

Ok Mattel,
Where is your apology to the American consumer?
These are the people most harmed by your lack if quality control and absoluter horrible designs that proved not just hazardous, but fatal even, to some of your users. Only the tobacco companies have killed more of their customers than the toy industry.

It''s about time Mattel and other toy manufacturers put quality and safety before profit.

It''s pretty sad that all the jobs that were ours have
been taken to China. You would think that the prices
of this merchandise would drop since the cost of man-
ufacture has dropped. Profit - profit - profit. And
the morons who run these companies /Mattel, Fisher -
Price/ don''t even have the brains to insect this stuff
before it gets to American toy shelves. They''re not
sorry about the sub-standard products, they''re sorry
they have been exposed. These people are un-American
greed mongers who could care less about our children.
They only care about their bottom line. You guys had
better button your shirts before your hearts fall out.
Go and apologize to the Chinese - how about getting our jobs back home where they belong? Your products
should be boycotted and you crooks should be locked up.

Mattel wants to apologize the PRC? That shows us what incredible profit margins China has given US firms which basically fired all their US employees and offshored production to China.

Even "diabolical" is not the quite word for the Chinese hold on world manufacturing-- the same profit inducement the PRC offers US and other manufacturers to offshore to China (1) kills native industry and creates Chinese monopoly and (2) inevitably hastens the day when The World''s Wealthiest Communist Dictatorship will raise prices on all foreigners.

"Sorry about that," the PRC will say, "but we are your factory floor, and now, we own your economy, too."

Bush''s "vital US economy" has been floating on a sea of US Treasury notes held by China, buoyed by the housing bubble. Bush loved to talk about "tax and spend" Dems, but somehow didn''t grasp he had substituted "borrow and spend" as his fiscal policy.

It''s all about the profit. U.S. needs to start thinking about our future. We let foreign countries buy land and businesses here in the U.S. We are not allowed to own land or a building in other countries. We can only lease. The same rules should be in the U.S. other countries can only lease land or building. Let''s make our own product here in U.S.A. Yes, It will cost more, but the American will buy these products. U.S. companies give American chance and jobs. Instead of sending our jobs overseas.

Mattel apologizes to China? L freaking O freaking L!!!
That shows what idiots corporate people can be. They are so full of themselves they really think the world wouldn''t survive without them.
Those arrogant b''tards.
I don''t know what it is in their s''hitty genetic make up that makes them overreact like three year-old toddlers who can''t get their way.
These people are born this way and should be watched out for. Look at the freaking mortgage crisis going out of whack!
Corporates are as short-sighted as they come. They''re blinded by their huge egoes and couldn''t care less who they run over just to make more money or make themselves look good for their freaking "promotion".
Mattel is a good example of how diseased these people are.

I urge people NOT to buy products made in China. They have human rights abuses that rival Saddam Hussein''s. Forced abortions, political dissidents forced into slave labor in jail to make those cheap products in wal mart, religious persecution---the list is long.

Show your displeasure at this poisoning of our children by NOT buying ANY goods from China.

"Mattel said its lead-related recalls were "overly inclusive, including toys that may not have had lead in paint in excess of the U.S. standards."

"...lead paint in excess of the U.S. standards."??????

So basically they are saying it is okay to have some lead paint in stuff??

There shouldn''t be ANY lead paint in ANYTHING!!!

Mattel should have some of their people in China overseeing how everything is made. So yes, they are at fault too. BUT China should still know better than to use LEAD paint!

If the U.S. allows some lead paint, China probably figured why not add a little more?

"I hope Mattel can sell their toys in China, I know I''''ll never buy another Mattel product."
Posted by USAconsumer1

With 1.5 billion people, and an economy that will very soon dwarf the US, not to forget that they now own 1.5 trillion in US debt, China may very soon be able to tell the US to shove it, and they will not miss our purchases at all.

The US is joining the "third world", with a bankrupt economy, a disappearing middle class, and rampant government corruption.

Thank the globalization chicken hawks for this.
