Timmy just isn’t believable...not in China...not in the US.

The Obama administration's hope is that the Chicom leaders are as stupid as Obama voters. Not likely.
The Chinese students were laughing, but I'll bet the Chicom leaders aren't.

The whole administration is nothing but a Damm farce how would they instill confidence? Plus we stopped doing that in 88.

"Chinese assets are very safe," Geithner said in response to a question after a speech at Peking University, where he studied Chinese as a student in the 1980s. His answer drew loud laughter from his student audience I would have laughed too. "Your money is safe around obama" is as absurd as "your daughter is safe around Bill Clinton". If the Chinese are sensible, and I hope they are, they will dump American dollars and refuse to hold our currency or buy our bonds. It will hurt our country, but not as much as giving obama free access to more funding would hurt us.

He should’ve brought a tuba band to play accompaniment.

According to what I’ve read (NOT confirmable by my own personal experiences) being laughed at in public by Asians is equivalent to having things thrown at you by westerners. They consider public mockery far more insulting than we do (not that we enjoy it, but anyway...). The books and articles I read which make this claim are mostly from the 1970s and 1980s, so perhaps that’s changed with “globalization”...maybe some FReepers living in Asian countries can confirm/deny...But if this is true, this incident is far more serious than the article’s writer is aware (or letting on).

Oh, they'll keep buying our bonds. Wait until they see the off the charts stupid interest rates Timmy and Zero will be paying to raise all the money they need to pay for their spending.
You and I will pay for that as we see our money devalued from the inflation that will result.

Oh man. I hope so. How great would that be?
I almost like the Chicoms now.

They know that we have a band of half-wits in the White House. They know better than 52% of American voters.

So basically it’s the equivalent of having a shoe thrown at him.
