Obama Gives the Chicoms an "A" for Effort
QandO — Barack Obama made the following statement in a speech yesterday: Everybody’s watching what’s going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business you’re starting to think, "Beijing looks like a pretty good option." Well, maybe Beijing is a spiffy place. After all when you can expropriate the wealth of a billion people by fiat, and ...

Teleprompter breaks; Obama rips U.S., praises China and Russia
Doug Ross @ Journal — Take away the teleprompter and simply wait a few seconds for the hilarious Obama hi-jinx to begin ! [China's] ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to ours now... if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think, 'Beijing looks like a pretty good option!' Why aren't we doing the same thing? Uhm, because we're not a Communist dictatorship keeping the vast majority of its people living in rural areas on $10 a week? [image] Why does Barack Obama hate America? Powerline adds : Barack Obama without a teleprompter is an accident waiting to happen. Sometimes he reveals his ignorance of history, ...

Clueless and Gullible
A Blog For All — Those are two character traits that I, and indeed most Americans, would not want in a President of the United States. So why do so many Americans think that Sen. Barack Obama is the right choice? Let's take his comments yesterday about China ...

OBAMA THINKS CHINA IS BETTER THAN AMERICA
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS — From Copious Dissent: Barack Obama is the most undisciplined person to run for office in the last 50 years. His handlers better get control of him otherwise we will see another 1980 landslide with the Democrats wondering what happened. While Obama has made numerous ridiculous statements in the past, his latest statement reaches a new level of absurdity. Barack stated in a recent speech off the cuff: Everybody’s watching what’s going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us ...

Obama advocates for Chinese Model...
Babalú Blog: an island on the net without a bearded dictator — Obama advocates for Chinese Model... in the U.S. The professional Cubanologist pundits have been advocating for Cuba to adopt the "Chinese" model economy for some time. Now Barack Obama wants the U.S. to follow China's lead on building infrastructure. Sounds good. All we need is an omnipotent centralized power structure and a population of about 1 billion more slave laborers. H/T: Nelson ...

Hussein Says Beijing’s Infrastructure “Vastly Superior To Us”, Translated From Ebonics, That’s “To Ours” - With Video
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Is this guy this clueless, or is he so blinded by his own desire to make this country into a Marxist state? Are his shrugged-off trademark gaffes really telegraphed ideological and political punches to this country? He cites Beijing?? Beijing and the Olympics as the general example of Communist China’s infrastructure??? Well, yeah! China pumped billions of dollars into building up that city as a showplace for the world Olympics. What went on behind it? How many people were forced out of their homes to make room for the event sites to be built? How many were forced into what amounts ...

Obama Cites Communist China As Shining Example Of Government Development Of Infrastructure
Say Anything — Does Obama want to be the leader of the free world?  Or a totalitarian world where massive public works projects aimed at impressing foreigners are completed at the expense of millions forced from their homes? Aside from a rather troubling level of appreciation for the ability of totalitarians to build a nice highway (let’s not forget that the Nazis were pretty dang good at public works projects too), this illustrates Obama’s utter naivete about the world.  Yes, the infrastructure in Beijing is nice.  But it’s also propaganda.  China ...

Obama: Lets Make America More Like China
Stop The ACLU — Dan Riehl asks, did Obama just lose the election? It will be an easy win for McCain if Obama keeps making slips like this one “Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business you’re starting to think, “Beijing looks like a pretty good option. Why aren’t we doing the same thing?”

Obama Praises "Vastly the Superior" Communist China
Moonbattery — If Obama gets a chance to inflict Change on America, he'll have a ready-made model: communist China, where wages are kept low with slave labor, the government censors the Internet and arrests reporters, the air is unbreathable, and dissidents disappear into reeducation camps. Here's Obama praising the system founded by Mao Zedong, who killed more of his own people than any other tyrant in history: ...

Carol Platt Liebau: The Left's Moral Equivalence
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Madonna lumps John McCain -- an American war hero -- in with Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe . Of course, one might think she's just a celebrity bubblehead. But the fact is that her moral equivalence is shared in important ways by the candidate she supports. Barack Obama speaks glowingly of China's infrastructure, compared to that of the US -- either unaware of or indifferent to China's record of repression and torture (as well as the fact that the the infrastructure in the vast majority of the country was recognized as woefully inadequate even by the Chinese. What's more, Barack Obama apparently sees America's liberation of Iraq as ...

Hot Air » Top Picks — China’s infrastructure: robbing peasants of water posted at 9:20 am on August 25, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Barack Obama sang the praises of China’s infrastructure last week on the campaign trail, and while he may be all wet, thousands of Chinese farmers wish they were even slightly damp.  While Obama hailed the Beijing Olympics as a model for national investment, the Times of London did some actual research on how China actually managed to improve its infrastructure.  As anyone familiar with totalitarian systems could have guessed, they stole it: THOUSANDS of Chinese farmers face ruin because their water ...

Japan’s Not Excited About Pro-China Obamao
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — In Japan, the Picture Isn’t Quite So Bright by Ayako Doi - (WaPo) Like millions of Americans, I watched the scene in Chicago’s Grant Park on election night, as President-elect Barack Obama delivered his victory speech, with a real sense of hope that something fundamental was changing.

And the next day, the world’s excitement was visible in news stories, photos and television images broadcast from around the globe — with one striking ...

China’s “Death Van”
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — (Disguised: The execution vehicle looks like a normal police van) Remember now … Obama rather admires the way China does things … So, when you start seeing a lot of oddly identical vans coming through your neighborhoods, take Rev.

Booker Rising — Kenneth Durden: "Anita Loves Mao" The libertarian-conservative blogger opines about the controversial comments, which have now surfaced: "I had professors in college proudly proclaim that they were Marxists.
