So this is what China thinks of the Obama Administration

SO, HOW’S THAT “SMART DIPLOMACY” GOING? “Chinese Pianist Plays Propaganda Tune at White House: US humiliated in eyes of Chinese by song used to inspire anti-Americanism.” This seems like quite an expression of contempt toward one’s hosts. It’s certainly quite a slap in the face to Obama, and a demonstration that our State Department remains not ready for primetime. On the other hand, it should remove any shreds of guilt I might otherwise feel when China dissolves into civil war after we default on our bonds. . . .

I don't think that the Chinese are foolish enough to underestimate American capabilities. Indeed, fueled by Hollywood, most of the world believes we can do pretty much anything. But the Chinese leadership class by doing the above has signaled by its contempt that it believes that regardless of the nation's strengths, its current leadership lacks the will to lead. 

Let me see, last time this happened there was another 'new' 'different' and faux moderate politician in the White House and it was the Soviets that ran wild. 

All hail King Jimmy II
