Americans shouldn’t worry. Although, the economy is diminishing, jobs are dwindling, soldiers are dying, and a new health care plan might just restructure the nation and cost the taxpayers billions of dollars, our Commander-in-Chief is looking out for us. In fact, he’s in China right now—improving our relations and receiving a hero’s welcome. But, does he deserve it?
After a rocky rating month, President Obama’s presidential approval rating has stabilized, states Rasmussen Reports. 28% of American voters strongly approve of his performance, and 38% strongly disapprove. However, 48%, the highest number this year, give Obama poor rankings in the way he is handling the economy.
With U.S. ratings aside, President Obama will be met with a warm welcome in Beijing Sunday. Chinese artist, Liu Bolin, sculpted a “Burning Man Obama” statue. Bolin’s reasoning behind his work is Obama’s worldwide impact. He simply thinks Obama has set the world on fire…really!? “Fiery flames are one of the “Twelve Symbols” found on Chinese Imperial robes. It represents the Summer Solstice and the renewable energy of the emperor himself.”
The National Post writes, “No president has travelled more than Barack Obama in his first year — his current trip to Asia is his eighth.” Just before Obama arrived to Asia, Liu Mingjie, a man, who designed T-shirts with Barack Obama’s face superimposed on China's late Chairman Mao Zedong’s body, was told by the government not to sell the shirts. They were concerned he might find it offensive. The T-shirt reads “Oba Mao” on the back.
While Obama is idolized and publicized in China, Fidel Castro journals about his admiration for the U.S. President daily. The AP writes, “Fidel Castro appears to have a fascination with the American leader that would make Obama Girl jealous, writing obsessively not only about his politics, but of his youth and vigor.” Amid his slobber fest, Castro warned, “Soon, the ultra-right of the United States will try to limit (Obama's) rule to four years. A Nixon, a Bush or somebody like Cheney will be the new president, and then the purpose of these unjustifiable military bases that threaten the peoples of South America will be very clear."
Is it scary to you that China is placing the face of our president on a communist leader’s body? Does it alarm you that Castro writes of Obama as a role model or an Emperor?
There is seriously something wrong with this picture.
Just will Obammy do for China?
Not to worry, Chairman O got game!
Of course he will. If the person I had lent a couple trillion dollars to came to my neighborhood, I would greet them with a warm welcome also.
Will someone kindly tell Him to carry his unadorned ass off to China and don’t come back?
Hmmm... It’s a show, only. I don’t know any Chinese nationals who hold him in any regard or esteem. A curiosity, perhaps; maybe a guy who means well. But no one thinks he’s a great leader. Mediocre, at best.
Oh...he's a flamer alright.
KIJNG OF THE DUMBASS MF’rs. Obama Sucks!!!
If the foreign kooks pump up Obamao’s ego enough, he might leave here, where people are figuring out he’s a dangerous idiot. Pop stars love a cheering crowd, and Americans are turning him off.
“Cuba idolizes him, and China thinks he’s a king.”
Why shouldn’t they? He’s a fellow COMMUNIST!!!
What will Obama do for China?
The answer to that is easy. Obama is removing the United States as an impediment to Chinese and Russian global hegemony. He is a “Manchurian candidate”, without question.
I remember how Zero’s brother, who lives in China, showed off his calligraphy skills, supposedly impressing the Chinese. They laugh at him behind his back.
That sculpture needs to be put in a bag to represent the truth. He hide his past , he’s burning the nation down and if you try to stomp the fire out you will get S*** all over your shoe first.
The African King
The Kenyan marxist wannabe dictator.
That’s why they love the guy.
