BEIJING – President Barack Obama declared Monday the world is urgently watching for a "meeting of the minds" between the U.S. and China as he meets with President Hu Jintao on the globe's biggest issues — climate change, economic recession, nuclear proliferation and more.

Obama also prodded China about Internet controls and free speech, but his message was not widely heard in the country because his words were drastically limited online and shown on just one regional television channel.

In his first visit here, Obama is strongly suggesting that China, now a giant in economic impact as well as territory, must take a bigger role on the world stage — part of "burden of leadership" it shares with the United States.

"I will tell you, other countries around the world will be waiting for us," Obama said in an American-style town-hall discussion with Chinese university students in Shanghai, where he spent a day before flying to China's capital for a state visit with President Hu.

The town hall meeting showed how difficult it is for the governments to work together. The U.S. initially requested a larger venue and a live broadcast on a major network. In the end, Chinese officials put the event on the eastern fringes of the city. Only local Shanghai TV carried it live, though it was streamed on two popular Internet portals and on the White House's Web site, which is not censored.

Fox News has a division in China?

Will he spend a moment paying his respect to those who died at Tiananmen Square and since?

I wonder if Zero sees their faces and smiles as signs of their acknowledgement that he is all they need.

Meanwhile of course they laugh at him behind his back.

He still has another stop to go for the trifecta. ;-)

He’s not African-American. He’s just so full of sh*t he’s light brown.

He does that every minute.

Problem is....as long as so many support Free Trade with Communist China....the Communist Chinese will continue their Communist ways. Even a fellow Commie like Obama will not make much of an impact.

Free Trade with Communist China just subsidizes the Communist Party there.
