Where in China is Chen Guangcheng?

Who is helping him hide from the authorities after he  fled house arrest last week?  Is he in American hands in Beijing?

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be stepping into this mess to attend two days of talks in Beijing this week.  The Strategic and Economic Dialogue,  as this meeting is called is part of the administration’s policy to manage America’s  relations with China through regular discussions on a wide spectrum of issues.

Again a meeting in a foreign country is being overshadowed by shenanigans of others.  In this case a prostitute is not involved.

“The Chinese government regards foreign criticism of its human rights policies and practices as undue interference in its internal affairs, and it will almost certainly use the occasion of the talks to drive that point home, diplomats in Beijing said. In fact, the Chinese might go forward with the planned talks specifically to have the chance to confront Mrs. Clinton about it.” NYT April 29, 2012

Mr. Chen, 40, became famous because of his strong opposition to forced abortions and sterilizations conducted as part of China’s policy of limiting families to one child per couple.  NYT April 29, 2012

The presumptive challenger in next year’s election in the United States of  America stated,  “Our country must play a strong role in urging reform in China and supporting those fighting for the freedoms we enjoy.”

Why must we always interfere in the affairs of other nations?

President Barack  Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, John O. Brennan was asked about Chen Guangcheng’s whereabouts on “Fox News Sunday,” and he declined to discuss anything.  He did acknowledged that “the United States is “working very closely with the individuals involved in this.”

Continuing to meddle in China’s policy he  went on to say the administration seeks an appropriate balance when advocating for human rights in strategically important countries like China.

“I think, in all instances, the president tries to balance our commitment to human rights, making sure that the people throughout the world have the ability to express themselves freely and openly,” Mr. Brennan said, “but also that we can continue to carry out our relationships with key countries overseas.” NYT April 29, 2012

Mulatto is still joking about having eaten dog meat while living in

Indonesia.  This mulatto who is now president of the United States of America still thinks joking around the fact that he ate dog meat when he was a boy in Indonesia is stuff to make us laugh.  I don’t know the sycophants who laugh at his jokes but these quotes are in poor taste.  This is the United States of  America where eating dog meat or any other “exotic” meat is not the norm.

Talking about Sarah Palin’s guest-host role at the “Today” show on NBC he said: “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?  A pit bull is delicious.”

Quoting  his stepfather: “My stepfather always told me it’s a boy-eat-dog world out there.”

Why would anyone laugh at these insensitive remarks?  If you look at the list of some of those present at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner,  I’m sure you will not be surprised why this mulatto behaved this way.

Politicians and actors.  It’s funny both are quite alike.

Barack Obama or Mitt Romney…Who loves dogs the most?

This cartoon by Joe Heller, Green Bay (Wis)Press-Gazette is for those who did not know the background of these two men who are vying for the presidency of the United States.   See previous post titled,  ”Who Loves Dogs the Most?”

Neither one seems to care about the welfare of animals.  Need I say more?

Agentes de EE.UU. fueron despedidos por indisciplina

A la par de la celebración en el fuerte de San Felipe,una docena de agentes

de la seguridad del presidente estadounidense Barack Obama fueron dados de baja y enviados a casa el viernes por supuestas conductas impropias, según funcionarios norteamericanos.

La Associated Press recibió una información de que las conductas impropias involucraron tratos con prostitutas en el balneario colombiano de Cartagena, sede de la cumbre. Un portavoz del Servicio Secreto ni confirmó ni negó la versión.

Un funcionario estadounidense, que pidió no ser identificado por no estar autorizado para comentar el asunto, dijo que se trató de 12 agentes, aunque el Servicio Secreto no confirmó el número.

El incidente amenazó con opacar la agenda de economía y comercio que Obama llevó al encuentro de gobernantes y causar una vergüenza para la delegación estadounidense. La Casa Blanca no comentó el asunto.

El vocero del Servicio Secreto, Ed Donovan, no confirmó que hubiera prostitutas involucradas y se limitó a decir que hubo “denuncias de conducta impropia” contra personal del Servicio Secreto en la ciudad colombiana.

Donovan dijo que las supuestas conductas impropias ocurrieron antes de la llegada de Obama a Cartagena, la tarde del viernes.

In his tone, at least, Mr. Obama is working to reassure Israel. “As president i do not bluff!”

In his tone, at least, Mr. Obama is working to reassure Israel. In an interview published on
Friday, Mr. Obama reiterated his pledge to prevent Iran from acaquiring a nuclear weapon —
with force, if necessary — and ruled out a policy of accepting but seeking to contain a
nuclear-armed Iran. The Israeli government, he said, recognizes that “as president of the United States, I don’t bluff.”
The White House’s choice of interviewer — Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for
the magazine The Atlantic — was carefully calculated. Mr. Goldberg is closely read among
Jews in America; in 2010, he wrote an article exploring the situations under which Israel would attack Iran.
American Jews are anything but monolithic. More dovish groups, like J Street, are trying to
make a case against a pre-emptive Israeli strike. But for the next few days, Aipac will set the tone for an intense debate over the Iranian nuclear threat.

Mr. President what is so funny about rising oil prices? Do something now!

Image via Wikipedia

“Some politicians,”… Obama droned on as he scratched his head with his index finger while he tried to come up with a snappy reason why gasoline prices are going up so early in the year.  He continued…”they see this as a political opportunity”…and then he patronized the crowd by saying, “I know you’re shocked about that.”  The Obama friendly crowd obligingly laughed at his weak attempt to joke about what the Republican candidates are beginning to see as a weakness of this president.  A president  who has not been able to control the oil companies, nor the maggots who are speculating on oil prices, nor the press who has been screaming for the past few weeks about the rising cost of gasoline. Barack Obama has not been able to do anything about the price of gas per gallon since he took office almost four year ago.

I sincerely believe the press has had an effect on gasoline prices. The press cries like Chicken Little, to all the owners of gasoline stations, the price per gallon of states like California and New York.  They’ve been reporting about the price per gallon when it was $3.49 and they’ve been predicting that the price of gasoline will be going to  over $5.00 per gallon throughout the nation for the coming summer months, if not earlier.  This president then continued later on in his attack on the Republican candidates for the office of president of the United States of America, that he can not fix the price of gasoline, in one year, one term nor in more than 4 years.

Mr. Obama why are you so inept and powerless?  Do the oil companies rule the world.  Do corporations have more power than the office of President of the United States of America?  Do they have control of the Armed Forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf?  I think it’s time to elect a President like Richard Milhous Nixon who froze gasoline prices during the Arab embargo back in the 70′s.

And then there’s the lack of control of his troops in Afghanistan.  Burning the Koran to incite the believers of Mohammed by his troops is unacceptable.  Peeing and desecrating the bodies of those who oppose the Americans in the Middle East is also unacceptable.  Why has he not asked for the resignation of the commander of these idiots who haven’t yet left these people alone to fend for themselves.  It’s time for these idiots to stop defending and fighting for me.  They are an embarrassment and if one or two U.S. soldiers die during the riots, an apology will just not be enough Mr. President.  Fire the commanders of these troops and court martial those responsible for pouring oil on the fires in the Middle East.tEEdMX0E4Cs

Thankfully, most of our troops are polite young men and women who abhor the actions of these idiots.  These heroes are trying to help the people of nations who have been oppressed by tyrants.  They’re trying to bring instant Democracy and instant Capitalism to these thankless ingrates.  It’s time to bring all the troops home and let the natives fend for themselves.

In Address, Obama Makes Pitch for Economic Fairness

By HELENE COOPER

Published: January 24, 2012
WASHINGTON — President Obama pledged on Tuesday night to use government power to balance the scale between America’s rich and the rest of the public, trying to present an election-year choice between continued leadership toward an economy “built to last” and what he called irresponsible policies of the past that caused an economic collapse.

We gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the United States safer and more respected around the world.  (Applause.)  For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq.  (Applause.)  For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country.  (Applause.)  Most of al Qaeda’s top lieutenants have been defeated.  The Taliban’s momentum has been broken, and some troops in Afghanistan have begun to come home.

These achievements are a testament to the courage, selflessness and teamwork of America’s Armed Forces.  At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, they exceed all expectations.  They’re not consumed with personal ambition.  They don’t obsess over their differences.  They focus on the mission at hand. They work together.

They work together …
