"Instead of being greeted by voters mulling their options, Obama on Monday met with several hundred well-dressed, attentive and relentlessly on-message students, handpicked by Chinese authorities for the occasion."

The same thing happens here in the good old USA with Obama's bused in participants and staged town hall meetings.

It looks like China is holding all the cards these days.

"China questions costs of U.S. healthcare reform"

"It turns out the Chinese are kind of curious about how President Barack Obama's healthcare reform plans would impact America's huge fiscal deficit. Government officials are using his Asian trip as an opportunity to ask the White House questions. Detailed questions.

Boilerplate assurances that America won't default on its debt or inflate the shortfall away are apparently not cutting it. Nor should they, when one owns nearly $2 trillion in assets denominated in the currency of a country about to double its national debt over the next decade."

Future White House Press Corps members.

So did Obama fly there to get permission to pursue the BloatCare bill in its current form? Was he called back to the main office for a sit-down about his performance? To pick up a new power pack for the Pelosi-bot?

The "Great Firewall" of China?

Damn, that's one of those "obvious in retrospect" ones.

Nicee.

So, basically, Obama went to China and dared to broach the subjects of religious and political freedom and government censorship?

Good fer him.

FTA: "I'm a big supporter of noncensorship," Obama said in a section of the event that was described on the website of Xinhua, the state-run news agency. "This is part of the tradition of the United States."

But not everybody in China got to hear him?

So he spoke out against censorship, particularly on the internet, and China, effectively, censored him on the internet.

*facepalm*

Oh Irony Flag, where are ya when we need ya?

Be Well.
