Default Chinease Town Hall

Unemployment is over 10 percent. What's our president doing to fix it. Having a "please like me" town hall meeting in Shanghai that was heavily censored.

Tie, you really lost it, haven't you ?
Seriously.
China has trillions of US Treasury dollars. The 2nd largest trading partner.
He needs to be there.
Only with more free trade and financial agreements with China, will employment numbers rise.

Or do you wanna put a wall around the US, and think it would be best ?
Do, that, and the chinese will be cashing out. And there won't be a US dollar left ! Atleast not much of it.

Our PM is in India today, and the next couple of ones.
Wants more free trade.
Right on ! I say !
We can't reley on the US to buy all our goods, we will find others.
And, Obama is seeking basically the same, get manufacturing back up, by having more exports to China.

Whats to do at home ?

PS. Chinese Censorship is nothing new.
But, sure has changed over the time.
Much more open then it has ever been.

Klein is right, Tie. Obama is doing the right thing getting down on his knees before the Chinese.

Do you have a disability that is preventing you from comprehending?

Reread my post about a town hall meeting in Shanghai.

Nothing was said about his begging the Chinease leaders to buy more of our exports.

No Tie, I believe you.
He just went there to talk about the internet.
He could have sent Bill Gates.

If you could learn to read and comprehend then you wouldn't have to believe me you could read for yourself.

Your second point is probably not a bad idea. Its humiliating watching our president bow and beg.

You guys! Always glass half empty. The glass is half full. When Obama is not in Washington and out of the country he can't........

GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez, I'd rather see him in the AkPak region grilling out, busting back bottles of suds and kissing arse with Osama bin Laden than in Washington DC scheming up more public policy. Can we ship over the entire Congress too?

I just wish Bush had done a lot more of that as well. The more foreign arse they are off kissing, the less time at home for them to up the (l) on us!
