A $95 sweatshirt currently being sold in President Obama’s campaign store is the work of Alexander Wang, a designer who’s facing a class action suit in federal court for allegedly running a sweatshop where garment workers were forced to work 100 hour weeks in a factory with conditions “comparable to those of third world countries” while being subjected to racial discrimination, verbal abuse and threats. C.K. Lee, the lead attorney representating the workers who are suing Mr. Wang told The Politicker he thinks the presence of the sweatshirt is “inappropriate.”
“Hopefully, the campaign would be more educated on the background of Alexander Wang and his sweatshop facilites and the abuse of worker’s rights,” Mr. Lee said. “I wish Obama would be more–or at least his campaign would be more in tune with what’s going on.”

But the design is from a sweatshop owner. Maybe Kathie Lee Gifford can design the new t-shirt.archer wrote: Only the sweatshirt isn't made at Wangs factory. I guess the Romney highschool story has sent even you scouring the internet for a way to change the subject. Good work.

If it weren't for Critical Bill, Mountain Bear, Nobody that Matters and myself (and a few others)... you would have a socialist echo chamber here (and no traffic)... is that what you want... cause I can get a rally going and have all the conservatives move on from here? You're rather snippy (and you bias panties are showing).
