Life just got tougher for Zero. Up until now it didn’t matter who he met.
The big question was, curtsy or bow?

>> And when Obama caves to this demand, China will become ever more demanding. <<

Once they realize he is a chump and doormat they will lose all respect for him and hold him in contempt, then they will really start to screw with him.

>> The Commies are becoming more demanding with each passing day. It had unleashed a diabolic diatribe against India over Dalai Lama’s visit to the Indian State of Arunachal Pradesh which incidentally China deems to be a part of Occupied Tibet. <<

People look to the middle east as a source of the next world war, I’ll bet that if another world war breaks out we will see a front of it be between India and China, and since we are so beholden to China it is bad news for India.

......Once they realize he is a chump....

Do you honestly believe the world does not already take him for a light weight chump?

If you and I know, they surely know

For a guy who has repeatedly said he’s ushering in a new era of friendly diplomacy in American foreign policy, he certainly seems to be doing everything he can to anger the most important foreign power.

Don’t get me wrong - I certainly don’t have a problem with tweaking the noses of pseudo-Communist tyrants and standing up for religious freedom, but Obama could at least stop pretending that he’s being any more diplomatic than Bush was.

I can't believe our own elected officials caved in to corporate interest, leaving the American people hanging out to dry.

I remember a time when the U.S. government at least attempted to protect American industry, American jobs.

I've practiced a boycott of Chinese products for several years now. I do everything I can to avoid purchasing anything from China.

Big whoopty doo some say. Like YOUR gonna make a difference.

Yep, and the boycott of cheap Chinese goods is growing.

I'm not against free trade. I love capitalism and the free market exchange and folks making an honest profit.

What I'm against is corporate leaders engaging in practices that endanger our national security.

Just read all the reports of how Chinese officials have subverted our election process, grown their military double digits for a decade now, maneuvering to gain economic advantage, cyber advantage, space advantage......all done by selling cheap Chinese goods to our market.

all done by selling cheap Chinese goods to our market.

Japanese toys flooded American markets in the 1930s, and Japan took it's payment back in the form on American-made steel ... steel that was turned into battleships, cannons .. etc.

Perhaps. But knowing how he always tries to make everyone
happy, he'll find some way to show some middle ground.

Remember that keeping China HAPPY is paramount for
Obama to be able to FUND his social agenda.
There just isn't
enough tax revenue coming in to do it alone, and continue paying
the interest on the existing debt.

I can see him meeting the Dalai Lama at some place other than
the White House, not have the American Flag present at the
meeting, or even have the Chinese Flag PRESENT in the room to
show the predominance of the Red State at the White House
.

Owebama wants to meet the Dalai Lama in order to recieve “total consiousness”...so, at least, he’ll have that going for him.

I’m not against free trade. Look at Toyota. They (until lately) had a great product. Very dependable.

There has got to be a healthy balance. Fair trade, that is.

Our traitorous government has bowed to the corporate lobby and allowed good paying factory positions to flood outta this country.

We cannot compete with labor that makes a paltry wage, little to no benefits.

Industry that pollutes their waterways and land at will. Little safety regulations, far different tax structure.

Our government has killed industry in this country.

Methinks this is just the beginning and that our Chinese overlords and most favored debt-holder nation will be making a lot bigger demands in the coming years. I agree with others saying that China’s grip on our national indebtedness is fast becoming a national security threat.

Free trade? ... Fair trade? ... There’s a difference.

“Traitorous government,” government that “killed industry” — Who voted our government into office?

“We cannot compete ...” Competition requires competitors, and it’s a real world fact that quitters lose.

Then too, pollution control and safety assurances are wonderful to have, but they have to be paid for ... and today’s America is long on debit and short on credit.

Who was it that said: “Brother, you asked for it”?
