This Kowtowing To China Makes Me Sick To My Stomach

China’s Role as Lender Alters Dynamics for Obama’s Visit

When President Obama visits China for the first time on Sunday, he will, in many ways, be assuming the role of profligate spender coming to pay his respects to his banker.

That stark fact — China is the largest foreign lender to the United States — has changed the core of the relationship between the United States and the only country with a reasonable chance of challenging its status as the world’s sole superpower.

The result: unlike his immediate predecessors, who publicly pushed and prodded China to follow the Western model and become more open politically and economically, Mr. Obama will be spending less time exhorting Beijing and more time reassuring it.

Good lord, what a sorry state of affairs, having to beg and scrape to China. Make no mistake, there is plenty of blame for this situation. The Republicans under Bush were more than happy to get in hoc with China for their purposes, and the Democrats under Obama have only made things worse.

The Democrats and Republicans seem hell bent on ruining us and causing the complete humiliation of the American people.

Our financial affairs need to be put in order now!
