Obama Praises China’s “Evolution” in Human Rights…
Obama sympathizes with a Communist regime’s human rights record, why am I not surprised? Must be the forced abortions.
(CNS News)- President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that there has been “evolution” in human rights in China over the last three decades, even though that country does not allow for freedom of the press or freedom of religion, continues to imprison political dissidents (notably Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo) and is run by the Communist Party.
“And I want to suggest that there has been an evolution in China over the last 30 years since the first normalization of relations between the United States and China,” Obama said. “And my expectation is that 30 years from now we will have seen further evolution and further change.”
During a joint White House news conference with Obama and Chinese President President Hu Jintao, a reporter asked Obama, “Can you explain to the American people how the United States can be so allied with a country that is known for treating its people so poorly, for using censorship and force to repress its people? Do you have any confidence that as a result of this visit that will change?”
Obama said he and the Chinese president had discussed human rights at length.
“China has a different political system than we do,” Obama said. “China is at a different stage of development than we are. We come from very different cultures with very different histories. But, as I’ve said before and I repeated to President Hu, we have some core views as Americans about the universality of certain rights–freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly–that we think are very important and that transcend cultures.”

Would love to see Mr. Obama as a political prisoner in China. Then he could see the “evolution” in human right in person. What a dope.
Is this guy for real? I know you say nice things at a state dinner adn all that, but, give me a break. January 2013 can not get here fast enough.
Barry should ask the younger of his “two” spawn…how they feel about China’s civil rights record…

He must have missed the Chi-Com tank rolling over the protester in Tiamiamen Square

Cripes!
The Chinese were the ones most surprised by this latest Obama revelation.

OK, I am not a birther, but did anyone catch the link on Drudge where the Governor of Hawaii can’t find the long form of obummers birth certificate? Or is this an Onion thing?
Some states have passed laws requiring the showing of it. So how does this play in 2012?

Andrew — I heard Texas was considering it. Did they actually pass that provision? Have any other states?
Thanks for the link Maggie. Cripes is right. This woman needs to be on that show, “What Not to Wear”. The shoulder strap looks like it’s falling off and the area under the rib cage looks blousey. She should have pawned some of that new jewelry for a dress from J.C. Penny’s or Sears. Maybe she could of found something in her size.
As for O’s comments. I’m just speechless.
Question for RTB? I don’t believe anyone would investigate O’s eligibility while he’s in office but if there is a big enough public outcry and an investigation is done AFTER he leaves office, will his ineligibility as a natural born citizen nullify any bills he might have signed as President? I am anxiously awaiting Cashill’s book.
