Right now Wall Street, Alan Greenspan and the Chicago-school of market mania has so undercut America’s standing in Asia by the horrible recession they caused, that even President Obama’s popularity couldn’t overcome it’s negative impact.

Tell it to Deng Xiaoping. Freedom? Who needs it? Capitalism? Now there's an idea! (as long as they genuflect before the Party as they laugh all the way to the bank)

The Atlantic Monthly is starting to get leaks from the Administration as to their displeasure about how all the Asian and US press coverage on Obama in Asia was NEGATIVE, and how it should not be that way. Kind of a hoot to read it. This is somewhat juicy backchannel stuff. Very poor defense if you ask me. I can see why they dont come out and say it and counter all the charges directly, but choose journalists and columnists to backchannel it to instead.
