Obama envy's the President of China. LOLZ
(Originally reported by that well known NEOCON RAG the New York Times.)
WASHINGTON (NYT) In the Middle East crisis, as on other issues, there are two Barack Obamas: the transformative historical figure and the pragmatic American president. Three months after a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself aflame and ignited a political firestorm across the Arab world, the president is trumping the trailblazer. . . .
How Mr. Obama manages to do that while also balancing American interests is a question that officials acknowledge will plague this historic president for months to come. Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintaos words in Tahrir Square.
