A mouthpiece of the Chinese Government has described President Obama as 'insipid' and claims U.S. voters are sick of his 'banality'.
The state-run Global Times has published an editorial deriding the leader a few days ahead of his visit to the growing economic and military powerhouse.
It stated: 'Obama always utters "Yes, we can," which led to the high expectations people had for him. But he has done an insipid job, offering nearly nothing to his supporters.
'U.S. society has grown tired of his banality.'
The criticism comes in the wake of a crushing defeat in the Midterm elections worse even than the most pessimistic forecasts of the Democrats' strategists, with the Republicans now in control of both the upper and lower Houses of Congress.
The Global Times lists the 'lame-duck' president's perceived failures in foreign policy and the economy.

Ooh, thats going to hurt the climate negotiations DemoCraps wanted. Bad Luck
Sounds like the ChiComs got it right for once.
Yes we can!
“Insipid”, is that some sort of dog whistle? It doesn’t show up in my dog whistle dictionary.
They got that right.
They are more capitalist minded than he is!
It’s a cat whistle.
“.....The newspaper noted the “many thorny problems” Obama has encountered during his six years in office, including the “limited tolerance and acceptance” he has received as the first African-American president.
It also observed that his tenure came “in the midst of a time when partisan politics is becoming more extreme”.
Obama’s “best performance is empty rhetoric”, the paper said, and suggested that Western political systems were fundamentally flawed.
“Bush, who dared to do everything, and Obama, who dares to do nothing, come from different parties but have the same destiny,” the paper wrote. “Is this their problem or the problem of the US system?”
“With China’s rise, we gradually have the ability to have a clear understanding of the US,” the paper concluded. “The country is too lazy to reform.”

Obola LOVES to BOW to TYRANTS!!! HE ADMIRES them!! Why else would he bow to them?
HAHAHA.
In my limited experience dealing with Chinese this is HUGE. There is an overwhelming expectation to save face regardless of which side of a negotiation. You do not insult your host or guest regardless of how much you can’t stand them. For a government mouthpiece in China to send an insulting message to Obama shows MASSIVE contempt for the child in chief. Obama will not hear anything about it because of his protective bubble. But mark my words. This is big. I don’t know what it means this minute but you can bet China will act aggressively either in Hong Kong (protestors) Taiwan, seize a few more islands from Japan or Philippines, or something very big benefiting Chinese trade is on the horizon. They know Obama will do nothing and they told him in no uncertain terms.
Will he meet with all the top African-Chinese leaders in China ?
LOL yeah

That stings, but they are right.
Whatever vices prevail in China, laziness is one of the lesser ones.
I have long insisted that it is wrong to complain that Chinese ate our lunch. There is room to create lunch for every single one of us. People are not the devil. They have choices available to them.
Actually we're sick and tired. And fed up.
