A caricature of President Bush waving guns appears on the front page of the Chinese newspaper Global Times at a newsstand in Beijing Monday, April 30, 2001. The headline on the paper reads "China is never afraid of threats."

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.

They also know this will play well with the populace. Most conservatives will say “Hey China, we knew it all along. Welcome to the tell-the-truth club.”
“colorless”
Aha! Dog whistle.
“Colorless” is the most interesting synonym.
That ought to rile this champion of People of Color.
.
Profound self-loathing and sense of inadequacy.
AND I AM pretty sure he just doesn't know any better....”O” and MO ain't had no ‘fetch’n up’..and it ALWAYS shows!
Completely agree with your assessment. Very good post.
Hea nice boy.
Chinese: “Obama’s mamma sleeps with Russian Infantry Troops.”
That’s true... for all his glory in “blackness” it hardly seems to embrace even one of the “pluses” historically associated with the African-American people. Sports prowess. Hard working (yes... prior to the modern welfare debacle). Formidable gospel. Wonderful blues and jazz. Humility. Loyalty.
Insipid. Colorless. The Chinese have nailed it. They have more character than you do, Barack. You are worse than liberal, you are a robot.
He might want to put some ice on that.
This is kind of paranoid, as Bush never went in rattling sabres at the Chinese.
Political leaders like to regard their foreign counterparts with one premise intact: that the individual will act in the interest of his or her country. It offers a certain baseline for understanding. It is fairly common to run into a foreign leader whose understanding of his or her country’s interest may be mistaken, but it is rather rare to run into one such as 0bama, who disbelieves in his and consistently acts against them. It makes him unpredictable, undependable, difficult to deal with. Even the ones who have consistently taken 0bama to the cleaners don’t like him on that basis.
They had the sense to sort through it and pick the most apt thing.
But it shows that China doesn’t shy away from ridiculing an American president.
Bammy is not a running-dog imperialist and warmonger?
Well, Americans don’t shy away from it either.
