Obama Says “I Absolutely Believe China’s Peaceful Rise Is Good For The World, And It’s Good For America”…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao vowed closer cooperation on Wednesday on critical issues ranging from increasing trade between the world’s two largest economies to fighting terrorism.

But they also stood fast on differences, especially over human rights.

Obama acknowledged that differences on rights were “an occasional source of tension between our two governments.”

He said at a joint news conference with Hu at the White House, “We have some core views as Americans about the universality of certain rights: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly.”

Obama said he drove that home forcefully in his discussions with the Chinese leader, but “that doesn’t prevent us from cooperating in these other critical areas.”

Hu, speaking through a translator, said both countries should “respect each other’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and development interests.”

Obama said, “I absolutely believe China’s peaceful rise is good for the world, and it’s good for America.”

    That’s exactly what Clinton said right before he sold them the technology they needed to build those Carrier Buster Bombs they now have.

    Treasonous Dipshits.

    “Hu, speaking through a translator, said both countries should “respect each other’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and development interests.”

    Translation: We’re taking Taiwan and if you try to stop us we’ll kick your ass.
    And we’re taking the Pacific from you. So fuck off.

    What a complete and utter fucking moron.

    How long before that parasite takes his Marxist Mao loving ass out?

    The real reason behind PRESIDENT OBAMA‘s shocking weight loss – he’s secretly battling stomach parasites, say sources.

    The pencil-thin president caught the parasites on a trip last year to Hawaii, where he and his family also vacationed over Christmas, according to top political insiders.

    “Barack has wanted to keep the stomach parasites under the radar,” revealed a close source.

    “There had been a public health warning about them in Hawaii when he caught them.”

    Concerned sources say extreme stress and a poor diet caused by his hectic schedule have contributed to the 6-foot-1 president’s skeletal look.

    “Michelle is fearful he’s close to a physical collapse,” revealed an insider.

    “He appears to be wasting away. ”

    WOOKIE DIDN’T GET HER RABIES SHOTS…

    What was China’s percentage of GDP spent on the military build up?

    The number is actually hard to nail down. Because so much of the Chinese economy is in fact owned by the PLA.

    Full disclosure on PLA owned and operated companies is also available. Those companies make a profit which shows up as GDP but not as military spending.

    Besides China’s history, 70 million killed, there is the current repression, and an undefined military build up which includes a blue water navy and weapons that a threat with only one target. The U.S. Navy.

    Obama is a tucking tool.

    If the Chicoms are going to make a move on Taiwan it has to happen soon. Obama, the gift that gives on giving to America’s enemies probably won’t get re-elected so the window of opportunity with that weakling in power will close. I’m convince the submarine missile launch off the coast of California was a preventive warning to US to stay clear of Taiwan.

    In a post three down, people praising Wal-Mart.

    There are other distinctive possibilities for excessive weight loss. And barry is, after all, a confessed cocaine user.

    And thanks for the tips on the parasites! LOL! When my livestock gets parasites, I worm them!! They should just send a vet over the White House and take care of the problem!

    So Obama has leftists in his belly? Now, perhaps, he understands how America feels.

    Ah! I see the connection!

    You can buy china at Wal-Mart and China has a Great Wall which they also Mar(ke)t via souveneirs.

    Suddenly it all makes perfectly clear sense! There’s the connection!

    It’s so much easier when the dots are so cleaverly exposed and espoused.

    “Why is manufacturing for low tech, low cost goods in China?”

    Because the USA doesn’t make 14 year old girls work dangerous jobs for 70 hours a week for poverty level wages?

    No?

    Because the USA has environmental regulations which prevent the wide spread pollution and degredation of the air and water quality, e.g. Bejing smog (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pagedooley/386198516/) or large amounts of mine fires?

    No??

    Oooh, how about, because the good people of the USA define success in life by the amount of material goods that they possess and thus demand cheap disposable goods?

    Still no???

    Ok, I give up. Why?

    Story of Stuff, The Critique Part 1 of 4

  26. Rupaula says:

    JCM,

    Thanks. I don’t generally disagree with that critique, but I think you miss my point. I am a firm believer in markets and competition (or as the narrator uses “price & efficiency”) as the best inspiration for innovation. The critique, however, just jumps over non-monetary environmental and societal factors which is what I have problems with.

    The narrator’s logic that mining has been happening since Roman times means it is ok. That ignores the exponential growth of mining and people.

    Narrator jumps on the deforestation issue like a rabid dog and ignores that old growth forests are gone. When that happens, species die. Possibly beneficial species. New species don’t emerge at the rate others die.

    Narrator claims that 200 years ago, if you drank water from a river you would get sick. Sure, maybe from giardia, but not from chemicals. He also claims they are cleaner now than 40 years ago. They are cleaner now because our government/EPA laid a major regulation smackdown on industry. He just argued for regulation!!!

    Further, Narrator claims that if we weren’t feeding half the population they would be dead. While that is true, if there wasn’t colonization, getting third world countries hooked on Western goods and replacing their subsistence agriculture land with cash crops for export, they would be feeding themselves.

    Finally, the narrator doesn’t take into account that large amounts of our goods, whether or not we have room to get rid of them, are being produced in sweat shops or by exploiting other human beings. And fuck it, I refuse to accept that is just how the world works.

    In sum, the problem with the market approach is that it is a market approach. It doesn’t take into account any humanity or general pollution. In my opinion the economics idea of rational decision making is not the end all be all of existence. Sure free markets will work, but there has to be a sweeping, fundamental paradigm shift over business and industry and essentially what defines human success (P.S. a shift like this doesn’t come through regulation either – regulation is merely a band aid).

    @Rupaula, you evil materialist, how dare you use technology like a computer, which consumes electricity created by burning coal or is created with the evil nuclear energy!! Hypocrite!! You need to move to the Marxist Utopia of your choosing and try dissenting there!! I suggest China, then they will put you in a Prison factory making the cheap products we consume.
