White House Press Briefing by Dana Perino 2/27/08 (Chinese Imports, Obama & Farrakhan )
— Wednesday, February 27, 2008 — MS. PERINO: Go ahead, Les. Q Thank you, Dana; two questions. WorldNetDaily has reviewed Consumer Product Safety Commission reports confirming that two of every three products recalled for safety concerns during 2007 were Chinese imports. And my question, what are U.S. regulators doing to hold Chinese manufacturers to their promises of higher safety standards? MS. PERINO: Secretary Leavitt led a group by the President and a task force in order to help address these issues. And we know that right now, up on Capitol Hill, they are about to take up a reauthorization of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. So we're working with Congress on that. Q Thank you. When asked last night about the endorsement of him by Louis Farrakhan, Senator Obama replied that Farrakhan's anti-Semitism is, "reprehensible," and that he had not sought Farrakhan's endorsement. And my question: This statement by Senator Obama deserves White House approval, doesn't it? MS. PERINO: I'm not going to comment in any way on the '08 election. Q You're going to avoid this? Won't you commend him? Don't you think he should be commended? MS. PERINO: If you want to ask two questions, you should make sure they're two that I can answer. (Laughter.)
