My favorite quote in this article is:

"With the Chinese government holding nearly $800 billion of federal U.S. debt, Beijing has extraordinary leverage in the relationship."

The American government REALLY needs to think about which nations we should be upsetting politically and very publically.

As of last week, as far as foreign countries are concerned, Japan owns the most American foreign debt.

China is the second largest holder of American foreign debt.

Mr. Obama, maybe you should be polite to the head of Toyota who you and Congress have demanded give a command performance in front of a Congressional panel concerning the recall problems with Toyota vehicles.

And, in the future, you could hurt the Chinese PEOPLE's feelings less if a lesser official flies to India to see the Dalai Lama (where he is in exile) rather than entertain him yourself at the White House, Map Room or no Map Room.

I'm not saying bow down to these nations' leaders. I am saying we could put a little more thought into what signals we are sending when we desire to respect important trading/financial partners and in Japan's case, military allies.

I’m not sure if we can put the picture up, but Drudge has it up. “Dont let the back door hit you on the way out DaliLama, and watch the trash.”

OBAMA IS A SLOW LEARNER.

6 months too late.He could have saved a lot of lives by being earlier.

Obama’s poor handling of this incident is great. By having the Dali Lama go out the side door he insulted his followers. But by meeting with him he totally torqued off the Chinese. The sooner the ChiComs turn on Obama the sooner his debt riddled house of cards will come crashing down. We have to deal with the debt problem. The government won't do it voluntarily so it will have to be forced on them from outside. The sooner that happens the better, as it will allow for a quicker recovery.

China get in line with the rest of us folks who are pissed at Zero.

My favorite quote from the article is:

“China regards any official foreign leader’s contact with the Buddhist monk as an infringement on its sovereignty over the mountainous region and as a particularly unwelcome snub.”

Translated, this means: China does not want any country questioning its destruction and takeover of an autonomous country, nor its continued subjugation and plunder of Tibet’s people and resources.

QUIT ABUSING THE BREAKING NEWS SIDBAR!!!

I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to every Buddhist in the world. Most Americans have better manners than our president and hold the Dalai Lama in a position of reverence like that of the Pope and other heads of various religious followings.
I am embarrassed by this display of callous ignorance and lack of up bringing.
