Obama: China’s stooge
Washington Times ^ | 11/17/2011 | Brett Decker

He’s ostensibly spending time on the other side of the Pacific to explore ways the United States can work better with Asian economies. Instead, he’s using his time in the spotlight to criticize the nation he’s supposed to be leading."

Frankly both parties kowtow to communist China.

It’s disgusting.

they have never lifted a finger to do anything about China’s practice of letting the yuan float freely, giving products from the Middle Kingdom a huge cost advantage

I thought the problem was that they weren't letting their currency "float", instead, artificially pegging it to the weak dollar?

The PRC is protectionist.

Chinese markets are CLOSED.

Changing the exchange rate won’t do diddly squat. We still won’t sell exports to China, because...

(wait for it)

China is protectionist.

That is the problem. Not “exchange rates”. China is deliberately keeping our goods out of their markets.

We remain clueless, with open, shrinking consumer markets.

Close down Walmart see how that goes with the voting American public: Walmart must be close to the biggest importer of Chinese goods in the world, and I can remember a time when they boasted of the percentage of their goods that were American-made.

We are as a nation, as a party and as an ideal, frozen in complete inaction while our country crumbles.

Walmart is part of the problem.

Walmart is not heroic. If Walmart were heroic, Walmart would source their inventory in America.
