Obama: “It Would Be so Much Easier to Be the President of China”…
Dictatorial powers, state-sponsored Communism, no pesky opposition, no elections . . . it’s every leftist’s wet dream.
WASHINGTON (NYT) — In the Middle East crisis, as on other issues, there are two Barack Obamas: the transformative historical figure and the pragmatic American president. Three months after a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself aflame and ignited a political firestorm across the Arab world, the president is trumping the trailblazer. . . .
How Mr. Obama manages to do that while also balancing American interests is a question that officials acknowledge will plague this historic president for months to come. Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, “No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.”

Then might I suggest taking a one way ticket to the Marxist paradise.
China can have you…I want an American president.
Well, then I sure wish China could get a lot Mao of him!
Oh, my God!!!!!!!!
Did he really say that?
Is this what he has in mind for us?
Zip, I’m really creeped out by this?
whthfk
I know, total red meat.
That is because you are a Fucking Communist and you admit that. Of course it would be easier, because you can make your own rules as you go. Just like Obama Care, that will be struck down.
To have a sitting American President say this is very telling. He is a Communist and wants absolute power over the American People. He does not want a voter base or citizens, he wants subjects.
Impeachment can not come soon enough.

Being president of China would be a lot Mao fun for him too?
What’s stopping you asshole!
Just let Obama try becoming like Mao.
He’ll get the civil war he’s trying to stoke.
LMAO! It is that old gypsy blood of Obama’s. Notice in his past, he can’t stay anywhere longer than 2 years (usually less). He never does a good job, is lazy as hell, gets all the perks he can, adds that position to his resume, and once again he is “off to see the wizard”! He is looking for a bigger and better position, with words on his resume that are meaningless, as he holds a position, but accomplishes nothing, and then he sees the grass is greener somewhere else. He sees that China is growing, and becoming more powerful, and there are so many “worker bees” to make more money for the “royal family”. Those serfs and not allowed to talk back to the president.
President HuBama! That sounds about right. Let’s all encourage him to “GO FOR IT!”
Like Bawney said, lazy people don’t immigrate.. Get to stepping, Zero..
GO OBAMA NOW!
RATIONAL AMERICANS KNOW YOU ARE A COMMUNIST.
THE EVIDENCE COMES FROM YOUR DAILY APPEARANCES ON TV, YOUR CONSTANT BABBLING ABOUT SHIT YOU SHOULDN’T BABBLE ABOUT, YOUR TAKEOVER OF EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR ILLEGAL HANDS ON!
GET THE FUCK OUT NOW!
He’s probably hinting for them to extend the invitation. Such an idiot!
He’s turning America into China, so he’s trying to make that wish come true… to the detriment of freedom and democracy.
“No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square. The guy has it made! No asking for birth certificates – ‘Hu, You Muslim?’ Great chow every night. Laundry, Railroad workers Hu’s got it by the short and curlies!”
He leaves no doubt where he stands.
It really is jaw-dropping amazing that he actually said this.
I wish the son of a bitch was president of China, maybe the US could regain our status as the worlds strongest economy, after he ruined their’s……..could you imagine 6 billion welfare checks !
If he were president of China, we’d have lower unemployment, have lower debt, and China would declaring bankruptcy. A win-win-win.
Go for it you Kenyan hut-dweller!
Remember the man who stood in front of the tanks in Tienanmen Square in 1989?
That is what I picture happening here one day.
Obama will sic his Domestic Army on us and I vow to be one of those standing.
Eventually that man was killed but he bravely stood there for millions to see.
The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, also known as the Tiananmen Square massacre and the June Fourth Incident[1] (in part to avoid confusion with two prior Tiananmen Square protests), were a series of demonstrations in and near Tiananmen Square in Beijing in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) beginning on 15 April 1989. The movement used mainly non-violent methods and can be considered a case of civil resistance.[2] Led mainly by students and intellectuals, the protests occurred in the year that was to see the collapse of a number of communist governments in eastern Europe.
The protests were sparked by the death of former CPC General Secretary Hu Yaobang, a Party official known for tolerating dissent, and whom protesters had wanted to mourn.[3] By the eve of Hu’s funeral, 100,000 people had gathered at Tiananmen Square.[4] The protests lacked a unified cause or leadership; participants included Communist Party of China members and Trotskyists as well as liberal reformers, who were generally against the government’s authoritarianism and voiced calls for economic change[5] and democratic reform[5] within the structure of the government. The demonstrations began in Tiananmen Square, but later expanded to the surrounding streets, and large-scale protests also occurred in cities throughout China, including Shanghai. While those in Shanghai remained peaceful, there was looting and rioting in various locations throughout China, including Xi’an Province and Changsha, capital of Mao’s home province of Hunan.[6]
The movement lasted seven weeks after Hu’s death on 15 April. In early June, the People’s Liberation Army moved into the streets of Beijing with troops and tanks and cleared the square with live fire. The exact number of deaths is not known. According to an analysis by Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times, “The true number of deaths will probably never be known, and it is possible that thousands of people were killed without leaving evidence behind. But based on the evidence that is now available, it seems plausible that about fifty soldiers and policemen were killed, along with 400 to 800 civilians.”[7] Globe and Mail correspondent Jan Wong placed the death toll at approximately 3,000, based on initial reports by the Red Cross and analysis on the crowd size, density, and the volume of firing.[8]
Following the conflict, the government conducted widespread arrests of protesters and their supporters, cracked down on other protests around China, banned the foreign press from the country and strictly controlled coverage of the events in the PRC press. Members of the Party who had publicly sympathized with the protesters were purged, with several high-ranking members placed under house arrest, such as Party General Secretary Zhao Ziyang. There was widespread international condemnation of the PRC government’s use of force against the protesters.[5]
I just submitted his nomination for their next election . . .
It’s our dream too mr. president, that you were the president of China. or any other country for that matter. we really don’t care, as long as you leave this country.
I just wonder if Obama will be clueless when Hu turns down the next invite to the WH. “No! I say NO! Obama try to take my JOB!
Well, I suppose Obunghole knows what the Chinese do to corrupt businessmen and politicians.
Does anyone remember when GW Bush said a dictatorship would be easier and the hell the progressives and their media raised over it? You think they will raise any hell when Obamao says essentially the same thing? You know the ansers to that last one…
China ?
China would have put his ass against a wall long ago.
You know, Ready Aim FIRE………………. End of his sorry ASS…
The registered democrats who don’t consider themselves ” radical leftists” need to ask themselves some hard questions.
1. How did you allow yourselves to be subjected to Emotional Direct Response Marketing techniques and vote for this guy ?.
2. If you enjoy belonging to a political party who for now has a seat @ the table of power, how long before this parasite destroys your party ?
3. As the economy and other affairs the government has inserted it’s control over collapse and without leadership from Obama , how long before the American people turn on Obama and you.
4. What price are you as Democrats, liberals and progressives willing to pay to follow a man who has demonstrated contempt for our constitutional republic. Is that price worth the collapse of the country, anarchy, death squads and misery ?.
5. While most would agree that ” winning” is important in certain aspects of our life , is ” winning ” or the preception of being ” right” worth the lifestyle you currently enjoy.
As I have opined on this and other sites sometimes using different names ,I have always pointed out that not every party or politician is right all of the time and of course isn’t wrong all the time either.
We have a complete failure and lack of LEADERSHIP in DC. The biggest drag on our country is sitting @ 1600 Penn Ave. This man while he may say all the “right” things to pull your heart strings, he is dangerous and if he is not checked quickly you may go down with him.
Final question Libs : Do you really thing when the dung hits the fan that the folks who are center / right of center are going to ” just go along ” …… nope , it will be the wild west.
I’d like to see an actual YouTube Video of him saying this. Until then, I’m a little bit skeptical. Oh, I’m sure he said it, but you can’t ping him on something that’s hearsay. We need Evidence, not hearsay.
This “historic president” [insert gagging here] is nothing more than a whiny, bratty, self-absorbed two-year-old.
Buy a one-way ticket to China, Zero. Please. Be “historic” there.
Emudude :
I would agree on the proof in the form of a video, but the story is from the NYT. The NYT is pretty much Pravda for Dems so I tend to think it’s true.
Every depot’s lament: if I could only silence my detractors, I could really move ahead with my program…
No doubt he would prefer the end result, dictatorial powers, but I believe the context of his statement was simply that events in Tahrir Square did not hinge on the next thing said on the subject by Hu Jintao. The fact that he thinks they hinge on what he says is a sign of his mental illness. On the other hand, if he was as smart as his lackeys claim, he would have seen the unfortunate analogy and picked a less prickly reference…Argentina, Iceland and Grand Fenwick come to mind.
“It Would Be so Much Easier to Be the President of China”…
He already is in practice.
BetterDeadThanRed (Love the Name), Rush Limbaugh talked about this story, so I believe it now. China can Have Obama. Maybe President Hu will give him a Job as his personal attendant.
I found this interesting, not just because of the content, but because of the timing (before Obama was even elected, and then again after.) I had read an article when Obama first started to campaign. It had something to do with someone from an old law firm where he worked, looking into how to get a bill in place to rescind the 22 Amendment to the Constitution (taking away the term-limits for the Presidency.) Then, after Obama was elected, this article came up on “Freedom’s Wings” site. The following excerpt comes from an article titled “NEW YORK (D) REP. JOSE SERRANO PUSHES TO REPEAL 22 AMENDMENT:
>>>>”For those that do not know, the 22nd Amendment is the only amendment that establishes a term limit for a federal office and that office is the presidency. Congress passed the amendment after Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency to restrict future presidents from seeking a third term. The failed New Deal is what I believe is the main reason. Now New York Representative Jose Serrano is pushing to have that amendment repealed – and we all know why. Talk about jumping the gun. Perhaps Serrano should wait and see what kind of a first term Barack Obama gives us before he decides to make Obama Dictator-for-life. The bill that was introduced is HJ Res 5. It does not have a co-sponsor as of yet and let us hope it stays that way.
I do not support term limits. I believe it is the responsibility of the voters to either re-elect or reject representatives. But in the case of the presidency and the fraudulent voting system we have in place, I think the 22nd Amendment should stay right where it is.”<<<<<
The rest of the article is here:

I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that he said this, or how many people will see absolutely nothing wrong with it and accuse us of getting upset over nothing.
Do you think the Chinese really want him? I don’t think so.
Guess Jay Carney will come out this afternoon to tell us what the President actually MEANT to say, just to clarify things. Seems he has to do a lot of that; Clapper anyone?
It does sort of explain why he seems to love that Mussolini -pose , the fascist in there just keeps leaking out
without context to the quote, this is all a bunch of silly speculation about him clearly being a marxist and foreigner. i have a feeling it was tongue and cheek comment during the china visit that happened a little while back. commenters here are blowing this way out of proportion.
Obama you are as stupid as you sound. btw…How many Blacks are in China====ZERO…additionally….how many Blacks in Russia====ZERO
Obama you are a ZERO…what did China do to their FDA Chief equivalent of ours after the pet food poisoning—firing squad with no trial.
The greatest nation in the history of humanity and you have not one ounce of gratitude to our Founders—you are simply beyond description.
I pray for the day when someone calls you out for who you really are
The left, more and more, is clamoring for outright violence against average Americans.
Go ahead. Make my day.
A real civil war between the left and the right would last about 10 minutes.
What if there was a civil war, and the right actually showed up?
why would the Chinese want a jerk who already bankrupted one former superpower already?
red diaper baby
wehted says:
Sir if you can stomach to read the puff in the NYT article it gives the context.
I will decipher : Obama is so great and all of his buddies who organized the take down of the Hosni govt. are in the square with signs in English. The weight of the world is on poor Sotero’s back and the protesters are crying out to the savior that is Obama. Obama feels this pressure and and the crys of his Muslim Butthood freinds and laments that his job is so hard and he is so important. Hence the reference to his statement that the MB is not crying out to China’s president but rather to ‘the one ”
Oh, come on: he didn’t imply that he wanted to be dictator. He was half-envying the Chinese president’s relative anonymity. The fate of nations is swinging on Obama’s words, not so for Hu.
the african scum is a pussy
In other words he is implying that we are more difficult to rule, govern, control, than 1,331,460,000 commie / socialists. Is that a compliment? I am sure his handlers will try to spin it as such.
begging for impeachment
I must take issue with the politically incorrect term “wet dream”.
Unless I am mistaken the term “wet dream” is a totally male reference. (I might be mistaken since my knowledge of female sexuality is, unfortunately, still at what I knew at thirteen years old).
I believe the correct term is “orgasm”. “Orgasm” is sexually neutral…I think. [See above about my knowledge of female sexuality.]
The photo caption should read: “Dictatorial powers, state-sponsored Communism, no pesky opposition, no elections. . . it’s every leftist’s orgasm.”
Give it time. Before he leaves office, I’m sure he’ll have transformed America into China East.
Wonder why the ” fate of nations” is swinging on Soteros words ?.
It really isn’t , he would like to think so .
Nobody not even the school kids here think he’s cool anymore after mom and dad are unemployed.
Let’s start a fundraiser to send him. It’s the least we can do. He deserves to be happy (and so do we).
Greg, you may want to dump him on the Chinese, but the Chinamen ain’t dumb. He ain’t speak no Chinese either. Tough luck, Yanks, live with your Hope and Change.
Jeff H, “he’ll have transformed America into China East” You wish, that will be the best case scenario.
Now, put that together with this:
“I like being president. And it turns out I’m pretty good at it.”
– President Barack H. Obama, late February 2009
How do you feel now, Mr. President?
The point Obama makes is a good one, and relevant, and one that a lot of conservatives would make, i.e. how difficult and complex our position and influence in the world have become in our post-WorldWar2 role as the dominant, ubiquitous and interventionist superpower; contrast that with China, with its unmistakable reputation for noninvolvement in other countries’ internal struggles. It would be a conservative wish, or ideal, for our role on the world stage to regress, and be more like China’s, i.e. expecting and allowing other countries and regions to sort out their problems themselves.
In considering the thrust of many of the above posts:
Careful what you wish for, they just might come true.
So many wanted a change from Bush, and look what happened….
as bad as things are now (and they are certainly bad), they can always get worse.
Look at the source story – It doesn’t say Obama said it, it said “One official” said it. However I’m pretty sure Obama does indeed share that sentiment.

OSweet says
China has always been involved in the affairs of other nations post WW2. Korea, Viet Nam , Cuba , Nicaragua just to name a few. They also involved in arms dealing / donations to FARC. Anywhere China can spread it’s influence or buy friends it will like every other nation.
The main reason we have problems on the world stage is that during the cold war we sided with non communist countries for intel and military access. We now do it because we don’t have the common sense to drill and use our estimated 100+ year oil supply here. Union pressure for higher wages, enviromental red tape and ..yes Wall St. greed to include all of us who invest they left and went overseas.
“Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China”
Obama and his so called Czars have accomplished – nothing , ZERO.
Make it simple , take two sheets of paper and list one for accomplishments and the other failure and unresolved. Get the picture ?
I forgot to mention China involvement here with communist groups. Like the USSR , China mentored the radicals who injected marxism into the anti- war movement of the 60′s.
Well, I don’t know if it’d be that good a match. How are the golf courses in China?
Great! How soon can you leave?
I always said he was commie !
Well his lack of leadership is bankrupting the US and he seems to be a fan of Zimbamaway school of finance, it’s not to far to stretch that he’s also a closet communist’s supporter look at the people he surrounds himself with most of them are radical socialists. Socialism is the philosophy of communism after all.
Obozo is an out to lunch president!
He cheers for a lot of things… a lot of anti-American things.
Out, out damn 1/2 spot.
It would be easier for us if we had a real President.
Just look at this ball-less pussy’s reaction to the tragedy in Japan!!!!!
Where the fuck are the Chinese in all of this, if they’re so fucking great???????
Obamaluke is the result of propaganda instilled through out his youth by Islamic radicalism and Marxism US style, and Yuri Bezmenov on YouTube lectures on the destabilization techniques used by the left on Obummer and many susceptible liberals, as for example Jane Fonda, over the last 50 years.
Wouldn’t be that easy for you, Mr. Obama. I’m sure China actually requires birth certificates from its prospective dictators, and yours is either in Nigeria, or no where else to be found.
“No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.” There is genuine Greek tragedy in that statement. Not that no one cares what Hu thinks, rather that millions upon millions everywhere in the world care what the United States thinks and what its president says and does. With each passing day this president sows for the millions the seeds of just a tiny bit of doubt, a gesture here, a statement there, a photo op, the smallest reason here, a smidgen there – a hundred little reasons to doubt. And what of the millions’ overlords, Hu included? Just a little less doubt with each passing day. The tragedy is that he has no idea of what the United States means to so many in the world and the wonderful position he holds. None. An immense irony for a man whose one-word motto was “hope.”
…have at it ….I’m sure we could take up a collection to get you there.
@ Anna, What are they waiting for. Ihope that invitation comes soon, It can’t come soon enough for me.
@Wehted> does the name Van Jones mean anything to you? He is a professed communist, who has had a long standing relashionship with the anointed one. He was one of his zars until Glen Beck exposed this on his show at 5 PM every Mon. – Fri. on the Fox news channel. After a while it got out there and the anointed one had no choice but to let him go. You can bet is is still consulting with him on a daily basis though, just like the head of the AFLCIO. That big ugly AFLCIO guy said it on tape that he talks to the Pres. every day of the week and visits the white house at least 3 times a week. Just like the guy that was head of SEIU, he has visited the white house more than anyone else since the anointed one took office. I say what do these UNION Heads need to be in touch with him that often unless they are up to no good. I say we send them all to China so they can join the rest of the communist.
Whoever voted for this vermin should be stripped of their citizenship and shipped to the Sudan.
You mean he doesn’t already think this IS China?
As an adult, I have never felt so inadequate and helpless.
How long do we have to endure this? Or are we expected to just sit and
watch our children’s futures crumble? Put up – shut up – give up??????
@Lurvleymomma
Don’t lose hope! There are many more on our side, than you see. When push comes to shove, you will be on the winning side of history, and of life in this country. I am very sure of that!
Go There, NOW !!!! I can not even stand that you are the
leader of this country. Where is your support for Japan? Where
is your leadership ? No, you are too worried about a man sleeping
naked who is a traitor to this country.
He would have plenty of money to waste on his friends. Maybe he can convert (destroy) their economy like he seemingly has here. Wonder if the Chinese would buy into the voodoo science of Global warming and would they go with “green energy” to run their industry? He could forgive the tremendous debt he ran up here with the Chinese if we claimed “Yes, we are not a Christian nation!” Everyone should look to the future, bye Barry.
Barak`s loyaltyis not to America but to his friends and brethrens of the muslim faith.
He is a maoist , an afro-leninist who despises America and wants to bring it down to her knees……he has almost succeeded, and he still has 2 more years to go.
God help America! His people in congress just passed a law where they can control the internet!!!!!!…and the FCC wants to control talk radio!
obama is a POS… i hate this fucker.

i was just telling my wife this the other night. once we sort out this mess in america, if “we” win, ANYONE who voted for him, supports a signle policy or utterance of this jackass, instantly loses their citizenship. they can stay here as an indentured servant with no rights, or we can ship them somewhere else, far, far away.
i’ve never liked my inlaws but i’m sure my wife will miss them. oh well.
one fine day — when the arrogant jackass in chief waits just a little too long to flee our country — he’ll be dragged out of the white house for a little “social justice”… one. fine. day.
So now he wants China. Whos next Poland?
Even Canadians hate obama.

It is quite a simple and sensible tactic to stop BO and his entire posse. Simply make it illegal to vote for a person receiving public assistance money. Meaning the person that has mismanaged his own affairs so horribly to the point that he/she can only survive with infusions of taxpayer money should be banned from using his/her amazing mental prowess to choose the leadership. THEY DONT DESERVE A VOICE in these matters. Idiocracy, anyone? Anyone? It’ll have to start someday or we are all done.
He’s delusional. Wondering thoughts that will never happen.
Well actually there is nothing in the Constitution that says everyone has the right to vote. I agree only taxpayers should vote.
I would be happy if Obama moved to China.
