Hill's $nub of U.S. companies in purchase of crystal stemware is clear Well well well 5.4 million that could go to health care or school loans.  if this had been under Bush the media would have been all over it wanting to impeach for such extravagant spending of US Tax payer money.   On top of that no US Companies were allowed even to bid.    

"WASHINGTON --- Hillary Rodham Clinton's State Department is spending $5.4 million to buy fine crystal stemware for American embassies -- but it won't give the US economy much of a boost.

The contract was given to a tiny Washington, DC, interior designer, which in turn subcontracted the crystal work to a Swedish firm -- snubbing such US companies as the famous manufacturer in Clinton's own back yard, Steuben Crystal of upstate Corning.

The firm didn't even get a chance to bid on the contract, which will outfit embassies and ambassadors' residences with fancy crystal for ritzy functions.

Ironically, under the no-bid contract, some of the crystal is to be custom-crafted to include the seal of the United States, although Swedes will do all of the manufacturing."http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/hill_nub_of_ny_firm_is_crystal_clear_FYR65jDt5RHnO4X4CLOaFL#ixzz0iOYa8tKG

Who is this little known company that has never done such before?  A heavy supporter of Obama perhaps during his election?   we wait with baited breath to see if any MSM softies even catch the spit ball pitch.
