Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The first meeting between President Obama and the Dalai Lama has been postponed until after Obama's summit with Chinese leader Hu Jintao next month, a decision that "appears to be part of a strategy to improve ties with China," the Washington Post reports. The Dalai Lama's visit to D.C. this week will be the first since 1991 that doesn't include a presidential meeting.

Evidently Barry needs some one to keep buying our debt so we can continue with The Ever-Failing Obama Experiment.

This SHOULD get the libs fired up, but it won't. Taiwan, now, is up shit creek w/o a paddle.

Mr Obama has changed his position on Tibet since his election campaign. In April 2008, he was joined by Hillary Clinton, then his rival for the Democratic nomination and now his Secretary of State, in calling on George W Bush to boycott the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony in protest at the bloody repression of a popular uprising in Tibet.

The Changeling-in-Chief strikes again. What a punk. Foreign policy enacted by coin flip.

"If the Chinese do not take steps to help stop the genocide in Darfur and to respect the dignity, security and human rights of the Tibetan people, the president should boycott the opening ceremonies.
As I have communicated in public and to the president, it is past time for China to respect the human rights of the Tibetan people, to allow foreign journalists and diplomats access to the region, and to engage the Dalai Lama in meaningful talks about the future of Tibet."


He puts the O in hypOcrite. Or, has the deep recession remolded the mind of the leader of the free world? (should read: Rookie Senator from Illinois)

Dare I say: all talk?

I thought the fucker played golf. I guess he never watched Caddy Shack.

Fuck that politico-monk. Piss on the Nobel committee. Tibet is a part of China. China has a future.

Lodi Gyaltsen Gyari, the Washington-based special envoy to the Dalai Lama, issued a brief statement, saying: "We came to this arrangement because we believe that it is in our long-term interests."

A White House official said the administration and the Tibetans had "agreed the timing would be best after the visit".

"Both sides attach importance to a strong US-China relationship," the official said. "There are benefits in that to our goals for Tibet, as we have been working to resume discussions between the Chinese government and the Dalai Lama's representatives."

The meeting has been rescheduled.

No buses are involved.

Over several months of discussions the Tibetans resisted entreaties to delay the meeting, arguing that a refusal would make smaller countries more vulnerable to pressure from China not to meet the Dalai Lama.

The Tibetans begged Obama not to 'reschedule' the meeting, but hey, when Barry's Chinese Overlords are involved, then it's ok to screw our longtime friends and make them look even weaker. As big a pissing fit as Obama threw about boycotting the Olympics for these people, you'd think he wouldn't let those evil yellow Beijing buggers dictate his timetable to meet with them. Weak...and getting weaker in Barackistan.

you cannot kiss two arses - you will love one more than the other. the clothes have no emperor.

Oh big deal...we'll invite him over for a beer after he reincarnates again. Just hope he pops up Chinese next time.

If I find Dalai Lama waiting for a lift, I will swerve my car and run him over.

Just a Buddhist-Taliban. Supposed to shower 3 times in life. When born, on wedding day, when dead.

Last one doesn't count.

Oh... and since he's a priest, he can't get married.

So he's had a bath only once.

Bush gave him a medal but Obama won't even meet with him?

Wow, that's pretty fucked up.

Middle Kingdom rises and appears to be holding a shiatload of American paper.

Not good.

Be Well.

"To appease his Chinese masters?"

You've got President Obama confused with Vermin.

FF for Doc!

Bush gave him a medal but Obama won't even meet with him?

Wow, that's pretty fucked up.

In fairness, Bush wasn't presiding over a nation constantly on the brink of complete and total meltdown (he just helped get us there). The Chinese hold more sway over us now than ever before; easy to criticize Obama over trying to please his "Chinese masters," but pissing them off isn't exactly a bright move at this point in time.

I was interested to see how the left would react to one of their idols dissing another. Who's side would they take and what will be the talking points to support it?

But instead they are just going to pretend it didn't happen.

"China has a future."

Unlike the drooling worhsippers overseas, the Tibetans know that while China has a bright future, that doesn't mean crap to the vast majority of Chinese. The average Chinese person has a shit standard of living and the people who run China could care less.

China has a future. Most of the Chinese don't. You'd have to be an idiot to want to be lumped in with the Chinese. Tibetans are not idiots.

Sullyinski - you don't know shit about China and you don't know any Chinese people so STFU.

Anyone that orders chinese food, gets a handjob from a massage parlor, or has walked in a mall past a Lee Nails, knows Chinese people.
Hell, if you've ever visited Niagara Falls you can't escape those drones.

They are perhaps the biggest sheep on the planet behind the Obama-mammas.

"you don't know shit about China and you don't know any Chinese people so STFU."

I know that the average Chinese person has a much shittier standard of living than many countries who aren't the "emerging superpower". And I know that this is documented by every objective measure of standard of living you Google.

So what I said is 100% right and you haven't said shit that indicates you know a damn thing about China yourself.

So take your "you don't know..." bullshit and shove it up your ass. Your attitude and your actual level of knowledge are obviously out of whack.

Either it's because the DL is more popular than BHO or because their names rhyme.

No, I don't know - this is the most unpredictable leader. I guess that's what we get from a man born into broken home.

I have been to China, have been studying about China for years, have read a good bit of Chinese literature, know probably a couple of dozen Chinese wives of friends, know Chinese graduate students, and talk with these people about China quite often. I still don't really know hardly anything about China, but let me tell you, Chinese people are a lot happier than Westerners, it's a cultural thing. Sure they hate their gov't but they don't worry about it too much. You know, you see articles about how big the army is in China, 2.5 million - big deal compared to the overall population. The gov't is careful not to piss off the people too much, they know they could not withstand a revolt. There are approximately 700 million "peasants" in China who have a poor standard of living by the consumerist measures used by the statisticians, but those numbers don't tell how happy or unhappy the people are, and those people are not so unhappy, in fact they are largely happy because they derive their happiness from togetherness with their local people and their families, unlike here where we measure our happiness by the size of our TV.

I know that the average Chinese person has a much shittier standard of living than many countries .... what I said is 100% right

No.. I was only having fun.

YOU are the one with "issues" to put it mildly...

See here: i41.tinypic.com

THAT's having "issues". hahahahahahahahahahaha

You're China's bitch-boy.


Speaking of Bitch-Boys.... Remember how American Unity made you his bitch-boy when he caught you lying about Korea?

You mean like that?

Nope. LOL

Are all Paki's so eager to stroke china?


Just like all Americans are so eager to stroke Israel? LOL

Just like all Americans are so eager to stroke Israel? LOL

Personally, I prefer to be the one being stroked.

But enough about your weekend...

"There are approximately 700 million "peasants" in China who have a poor standard of living by the consumerist measures used by the statisticians, but those numbers don't tell how happy or unhappy the people are, and those people are not so unhappy, in fact they are largely happy because they derive their happiness from togetherness with their local people and their families, unlike here where we measure our happiness by the size of our TV."

Will the minority who can shop in all the stores Tosser is posting pictures of (as if that proves anything) trade places with the noble and happy peasants? LOL. Get real. Of course the people who are not peasants will tell you that peasants are happy with nothing. What are they supposed to say? "My improving standard of living comes at the expense of hundreds of millions of miserable bastards...." If building a factory will make a few dozen haves some more money but poision the drinking water of hundreds of peasants, the factory gets built with not one change in plans to mitigate the pollution. That is how China works. Let's not pretend otherwise.

BTW - If having a large TV is all it takes to make someone happy, aquiring one is not too hard to accomplish. To pretend that Americans are that shallow or that many Chinese don't face very real hardships is a disservice to both.

A constant 10% growth rate for decades does wonders for poverty reduction.

Since I can see for myself and since I know people who live there, and Man-Child doesn't, I think it is case closed.

Yes, there are many many poor in China.

But the way they are pulling their poor out of poverty is unmatched.

It is understandable when Americans wish them bad or belittle them. That's their thing. LOL

Will the minority who can shop in all the stores Tosser is posting pictures


That "minority" is more than the middle class of America and getting larger at a rate that makes people's heads spin.

So they are already ahead.

You may cease your griping now.

If building a factory will make a few dozen haves some more money but poision the drinking water of hundreds of peasants, the factory gets built with not one change in plans to mitigate the pollution.


American rubbish.

Yes, there might be pollution today... it is far less than yesterday and will be even less tomorrow.

Progress is dynamic. It can't be viewed as a snapshot.

Some of those pics were from websites.... most however were taken by people I know. Both from Pak and from China.

So that was the real stuff... not some propaganda puff piece.

Anyone see a spine laying around? It seems that PresBo doesn't have one and is sorely in need of one.

no time for the Dalai Lama ,just not a lefty socialist like hugo and the boys and when it comes to china once you lose face they have no respect for you.

LOL. Tosser is China's version of the Iraqi Minister of Information.

"Things are getting better" is not the same as "things are good".

To pretend the that the standard of living in China is as high as it is in most Western countries is to lie. It is really that simple.

To pretend the that the standard of living in China is as high as it is in most Western countries is to lie. It is really that simple.

I can confirm that. My dad does a lot of business there (he sells cotton gins). He says their standard of living is terrible and the place is filthy. He says the air in Beijing is unbreathable 80% of the time.

"I can confirm that."

Any objective study by any reputable international agency will confirm that.

"I know some Chinese guys and they love it in China" is the dumbest arguement I've read here in a while.

""I know some Chinese guys and they love it in China" is the dumbest arguement I've read here in a while."

Almost as dumb as, "My Dad says..."

Almost as dumb as, "My Dad says..."

NOt if it's my dad. He's a very intelligent guy.

Oh, but wait! Null knows more about my dad than I do just like he knows the quality of pot I've smoked in the Western Pacific.

Sorry to question your omniscience, null. Please forgive me.

"Almost as dumb as, "My Dad says...""

Sad part is, I know what you are talking about.

Sadder part is, you feel the need to try to refute it a week later when you couldn't in the original thread.

Looks like I've made the list of people Nullie pathetically follows from thread to thread with his trollish off-topic attacks. Lucky me.

"Sadder part is, you feel the need to try to refute it a week later when you couldn't in the original thread."


I have no idea of what you're talking about, Sully. You sound paranoid. My post was about how stupid anecdotal evidence is. Nothing more.

"I have no idea of what you're talking about, Sully. You sound paranoid. My post was about how stupid anecdotal evidence is. Nothing more."

I guess I am paranoid. My bad then...

Fuck the Chinese. They are quietly converting their Dollar reserves into hard assets, (as am I.) What do we do when the dollar tanks and we owe them all this money? I suppose Yellowstone or Glacier would settle a billion or two. We could just give them Alaska.

We're fucked. We may end up at war with these communists and if anyone could attack us at home it would be China. Do you think they will accept 'bankruptcy'?

Oh yeah...FREE TIBET...and all that hippy shit.

My post was about how stupid anecdotal evidence is.

Why? Do you prefer fiction than a first hand account?

Funny thing about giving Goat shit about "my Dad says" is his father is a Democrat and sounds much smarter than any libtard around the DR.

"Why? Do you prefer fiction than a first hand account?"

No, I agree with Sully. Whether it is "I know some Chinese guys and they love it in China" or "My Dad says...," it's anecdotal evidence, and should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

While I sympathize with Tibet's desire to be autonomous, I agree with President Obama that we have far far greater concerns with China than that small corner of the map. Our economic and strategic relationships with China are of paramount importance. Tibet, unfortunately, is an afterthought. So it was with every President since Nixon.

...his father is a Democrat and sounds much smarter than any libtard around the DR.

You are right. He is a democrat and very liberal. How did you know that? Did I mention it before? I must have.

it's anecdotal evidence, and should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

I believe my dad. If you don't want to, that's fine too. My post obviously wasn't meant for curmudgeonly cynics like you, null.

Goatman: The poor quality of Beijing's air has been well documented. (Just think back to the last Olympics and the uproar athletes had about competing in such awful air quality conditions.) So chalk one up for Dad on that issue.

While I sympathize with Tibet's desire to be autonomous, I agree with President Obama that we have far far greater concerns with China than that small corner of the map

I agree with you there, but Obama's refusal to see the Dalai Lama is throwing him under the bus to appease China.

He should have the balls to say, "I meet with whomever I want and if that affects our relationships, so be it. BTW, my next bowl Xiaolongbao is with Ma Ying-jeou"

You are right. He is a democrat and very liberal. How did you know that? Did I mention it before? I must have.


Just a time or two.

Shit. Goat can't turn his italics off and I can't turn mine on.

"I know some Chinese people and they say...."

If the Chinese people are ones who have an American green card and are well informed individuals who have traveled in both countries then their opinion is worth consideration. It does not deserve to be dismissed as "only" anecdotal. But feel free to misuse your rhetorical weapons any way you see fit.

Grumpy - Anyone who denies that the average standard of living in China is well below that of the more successful Western countries is either ignorant or willfully stupid or a liar.

If Neil Armstrong came back from the moon and said "Its warmer up there than it is down here" he would be in a unique position to know and he'd still be full of shit.

You're talking about a few people who were fortunate enough to be able to afford to emigrate or travel. And they have an interest in not saying anything that would have them perceived as coming from a plae that should be considered backward. Every objective study has reached one conclusion.

"If Neil Armstrong came back from the moon and said "Its warmer up there than it is down here" he would be in a unique position to know and he'd still be full of shit."

Still think that's pretty funny but it turns out it can get very hot on the moon.......

"I agree with you there, but Obama's refusal to see the Dalai Lama is throwing him under the bus to appease China."

How is that "throwing him under the bus"???
Is a meeting with the DAlai Lama going to change Chinese domination of Tibet??? What do you think would be accomplished by Obama meeting with him???
It would show some respect but for an individual, big deal. The Dalai Lama is one man, not a leader of a nation. If I have a problem with Obama it won't be over his intent to meet with the Dalai Lama after he meets with the Chinese, it will be because he is throwing American workers under the bus by not enacting more protectionist policies against the brutal dictatorship of Communist China.

Tosser on a saturday night


I really wish I hadn't clicked that link.

Even if I had a survey by a Chinese newspaper that gave a percentage of people who said they were happy, like we have here, you could say oh well the gov't owns the paper. I am arguing also with the basic premise used to define standard of living. Of course I am aware of water, sewage, pollution problems and so on which lower the standard of living and these are things that China should be held to account for. Really what I am working toward though is to counter the idea that China is a seething mass of poor people living in shitty conditions and ruled over by red commies to whom they submit abjectly and Obama is a wimp not to stand up to our money "masters" and he is not helping the pitiful average Chinese people either by doing that. No, really it is not a good idea to demonize China. Chinese people are great savers and have a lot more money than you would guess, from what I've been told. They are blessed with a culture that bestows on them, largely thru the underlying knowledge built into the language, a good understanding and attitude toward life. And they are friends towards America, still feeling gratitude for saving them from the Japs. We need to be having huge cultural exchanges and initiatives for understanding among our peoples instead of hostility.

I wonder if the Chinese that have lived in isolated villages for centuries, (except those displaced in the name of progress,) are more content with their lives than are we. At least me.

I wonder if the Chinese that have lived in isolated villages for centuries, (except those displaced in the name of progress,) are more content with their lives than are we

It's all a state of mind. People with a healthy positive attitude will be content whether they are peasants or billionaires. Conversely, people full of hate and angst and a general negative attitude will never be content -- again, whether peasants or billionaires.

That needs to go on a fortune cookie.

Contentment is the enemy of progress. Cows can be very content.

I'm going to go grill a hamburger in the name of progress.

Contented cows make the most tender burgers.

After all, the Dalai Lama is not a two-bit dictator, a race monger, or a psychopathic terrorist sponsor, so he goes to the back of that line....

I'm so proud of Barry. I suspect it wasn't difficult for him to accede to China's wishes. After all, China is a far left wing dictatorship.

"I suspect it wasn't difficult for him to accede to China's wishes"

It's all a parlor game. Had Obama embraced the Lama, critics would have bashed him for not treating our biggest creditor with kid gloves.

The rules of this game can best be summed up by the phrase "Republicans good, Democrats bad." The rightwing these days waits until Obama takes a stand, and then embraces the opposite. Everything else is fringe. If Obama came out proclaiming the sky was blue, Republicans would complain he was ignoring cloudy days.

I have no doubt that when Barry informed Hu Jintao of the good news, he did so adding an apology for the U.S. having previously met with the Dalai Llama over their objections. Especially Bush's meeting with the Dalai Llama. We're not having any more of that cowboy, support freedom and democracy stuff.

To pretend the that the standard of living in China is as high as it is in most Western countries is to lie. It is really that simple.


To pretend that China isn't overtaking you in all things (and it has overtaken you in many)... is a lie.

It really is as simple as that.

Their "middle class" is already bigger than the total number of American consumers.

That means they are bigger and better already. And they haven't even started yet. LOL


"I know some Chinese guys and they love it in China"


Man-Child fibs.

I know Chinese people and I know Pakistani people who visit China (the pics were taken by some of them) and I know one guy from Karachi, who lives there for half a year every year.

They say it's an absolutely fantastic place.

Anyway, if you wish to believe it is not to your standard, then give it a few more years and then compare. LOL

Specially since the US is taking a nose-dive and China is rocketing upwards.

My cousin went to China 20 years ago and he said it was the most awful place on earth.

Perhaps Daddy Goatee also took a trip 20 years ago once.

NOW however, I hear very different stories (positive) by visitors to China.

Their speed of change is remarkable.

Really what I am working toward though is to counter the idea that China is a seething mass of poor people living in shitty conditions and ruled over by red commies to whom they submit abjectly


Exactly.

It just isn't true.

Even the poorest of the poor in China say they are getting a better deal.

Here in Karachi, I keep seeing more and more Chinese shopkeepers and traders selling their stuff, like floor tiles and building materials and cars and heavy machnery.

Fantastic salesmen.

They are now comfortable going out to other countries to earn a living, tough previously they were an inward looking people.

They are expanding in a million directions.

I can tell already this isn't like the Japanese sales revolution of the 60s and 70s.

I don't remember any Japanese coming here to personally sell their stuff.

No... this is in a different league altogether. Far far more aggressive.

In one year, they killed the Japanese motorcycle market. Everyone is riding Chinese bikes, made-in-Pak, for a quarter of the cost of a Japanese Honda. LOL

I don't see how anyone can stand against them. Specially America, who owes them billions and doesn't make much stuff anymore.

Anyway... point is.... I have a better handle on what's going on in China than some American, who just licks and slurps webpages on his monitor. LOL

"Obama Delays Meeting with Dalai Lama"

This too shall pass-I'm reminded of Jeanne Calment story, a native of Arles, made world headlines a few years back for a couple of noteworthy reasons.
The first was her incredible longevity. When she passed away in 1997, she had reached the age of 122. At that time she held the record for the world's oldest inhabitant whose birth could be documented. She was born in 1875, the year when Bizet's Carmen was performed. A year later, the telephone was invented. She remembered meeting van Gogh, who had come to Arles to set up an artist's community. "Ugly as sin...bad-tempered, a grumbler...and smelling of alcohol," according to Mme. Calment.

When she was 90, the canny Jeanne negotiated to sell her apartment "en viager" to a man named Andre-Francois Raffray, a public notary. "En viager" means "for life" and this is how the deal worked: Monsieur Raffray bought Jeanne Calment's apartment, planning to move into it after her death. He also agreed to pay her FFR2,500 per month for as long as she lived. (At the exchange rate of the time, around $500). He assumed that it wouldn't be too long before Mme. Calment shuffled off her mortal coil, so to speak.
But Mme. Calment lived on, and on, and on. In fact, the luckless Monsieur Raffray died in 1995 at the age of 77, without ever occupying the apartment. In total, he had paid out what then equated to $184,000 for a property he never got to live in. What's more, his survivors were legally bound by the agreementthey still had to write Mme. Calment her monthly check.
"In life, one sometimes makes bad deals," mused the cigarette-smoking, foie gras-eating Mme. Calment.

I think I figured it out....Barry O needed some sort of "deal" to get China to buy all this debt...

So "put Dali in his place" was probably preferable to giving a blow job to Jintao ...

a KIssing of the ass of the chi-coms.
pure and simple

"Anyway... point is.... I have a better handle on what's going on in China than some American, who just licks and slurps webpages on his monitor. LOL"

Licking and slurping a Chinaman doesn't make you and expert on China.

Heck, you told us Mushie's job was safe the day before he was ousted. You don't know what's going on in our own corner of hell let alone in the impoverished areas of China.

"our own corner of hell"

Should have been "your own corner of hell"

It's all a parlor game. Had Obama embraced the Lama, critics would have bashed him for not treating our biggest creditor with kid gloves.

The rules of this game can best be summed up by the phrase "Republicans good, Democrats bad." The rightwing these days waits until Obama takes a stand, and then embraces the opposite.

Yes, it is all a parlor game, but I hope you aren't pretending it isn't played by both sides. Take our terror detainees for example; watching the left around here make the same excuses for Obama that the right made for Bush has been quite entertaining.

Heavens, no. Had President Romney gone to pitch for the Olympics, the RW pundits would have praised him, and the Dems would have bashed him for not concentrating on the problems at hand.

You only need to pull tosser's string once and that fool will respond 3, maybe 4 times.
He's either too stupid to get his point/insult across in one post, or he stews over the original post and can't let it go because it stung him so badly.
Either way, some lowly 3rd world mongrel is smarting, right?

It's frustrating, because I want someone right of center to vote for, but this game they're playing does nothing but show me that the traditionally right-of-center party isn't serious about leading, just about "beating Democrats."

It's our fault, LoD...we elect politicians instead of leaders.

That's what happens when you chew khat all day. Sad really.

Wise move on Obama's part.
