"Does it really matter from what country a company is?  When
you're dealing with typical US citizens, it sure does. Most
people here have a tendency to see anything and everything
"American" as superior and/or in the right as opposed to
anything foreign. It's a misplaced national pride since, to be
quite honest, we really don't do much when compared to other
regions of the world. Most citizens here have been brainwashed
into thinking we do everything and the rest of the world is just
our playground, both by the media and the flag-wavers.
Especially when that company is publicly traded and outsources
manufacturing?  Irrelevant to your average joe here unless, of
course, they lost their job because of outsourcing. They don't
care: If the company is headquartered here and they get the
product first, where it's been made and by whom doesn't even
enter into their mind. It also doesn't help
