There’s a few in this one:
- Using a bloodthirsty Communist dictator to sell T-shirts.
- Watching quite a lot of administration pushback on the socialism thing get casually subverted by some guy in China trying to sell some T-shirts.
- The Chinese kicking off a visit that’s supposed to be about mutual cultural outreach by banning the T-shirt in question.
Although I suppose that the last one is an improvement. Back in the day, they’d just have taken the vendors out, shot them, then charged their families for the bullet.

Wonder how Obama feels about the
Steph C (Diary) Saturday, November 14th at 9:15AM EST (link)Chinese government’s opinion that it’s an insult to Mao.
What I expect to happen is a weakening of U.S./Japanese ties in deference to communist China which has an eye on expansion, not only of economic power but overall empire reach.
I could be wrong but it would be just like Obama to sell out the Japanese catering to yet another totalitarian government.

Obama was The One in 2008.
He’ll be a BIGGER one in 2012.
In the US those shirts are meant as a criticism

It gets worse

Describing himself as the first “Pacific” US president, he said the US was committed to the area’s security.

===========================
I think that was supposed to be “pacifist” US President, not ‘Pacific’……. Pacifist at lest when it comes to international items.
On domestic issues, people like us know full-well the single last thing POTUS happens to be is a pacifist.
