obama great wall badaling
Besides grandstanding on the great wall & @ the Forbidden City what did obama accomplish in his trip 2 China?
Mr. Obama took a hike: a brisk, bracing 30-minute climb up the Great Wall. Around 3:30 Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Obama’s mile-long motorcade arrived at the Badaling section of the Great Wall, which snakes over jagged, rocky mountains.
Visitors to that touristy section of the wall generally encounter a cacophonous melee of vendors, but on this day, the place was like a ghost town, courtesy of the Chinese authorities who had shut it down. (The same thing happened Tuesday when Mr. Obama sped through an empty-but-for-his-entourage Forbidden City.)
Even the two sightseeing trips did not offer a total respite, however, as they were prominent, well-publicized examples of what Mr. Obama did not do in China. He steered clear of public meetings with Chinese liberals, free press advocates and even average Chinese, with his aides citing scheduling conflicts.
No. Just some photo ops and apologies for anyone that would listen. Obama reminds me of Nero who fiddled while Rome burned. Obama needs to get back here and fix problems with our horrible economy instead of playing around in other countries pretending to be busy.
