Obama is afraid of China

The fact that the President made the Dalai Lama leave through the back door next to the trash is despicable.  The only people Obama doesn't back down to is the American people.

You would think the fact that Obama met with his holiness, despite vehement objections from China, would be enough to show everyone who isn't delusional that Obama is not afraid of China.  

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama hosted exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama at the White House Thursday, drawing an angry reaction from China and risking further damage to strained Sino-U.S. ties.

Raising issues that quickly stoked China's ire, Obama used his first presidential meeting with the Dalai Lama to press Beijing, under international criticism for its Tibet policies, to preserve Tibetan identity and respect human rights there.

Obama sat down with the Dalai Lama -- who is reviled by the Chinese government as a dangerous separatist but admired by many around the world as a man of peace -- in the face of wider tensions over U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan, China's currency practices and Internet censorship.

While defying Beijing's demands to scrap the talks and showing a willingness to irritate an increasingly assertive China, the White House took pains to keep the encounter low-key, barring media coverage of the meeting. But it later posted a photo on its official website of the two men side by side in conversation.

Beijing clearly was not placated, saying it was "strongly dissatisfied" about the meeting and expected Washington to take steps to put bilateral relations back on a healthy course.

Yeah, those are the actions of a man "scared" of China

You are beyond clueless.

BSF,
Let us face the true facts; China is our debt master and it is not polite to offend your master. Check out the debt graph below if you don't believe what I am saying.

Again, since apparently the obvious slipped past the Windbag the first time, if Obama is "afraid" of China or he doesn't want to "offend his master," why the hell did he met with the Dalai Lama in the first place, knowing full well China did not want the meeting to take place?

Is it a prerequisite to have a full frontal lobotomy to be a far right conservative?

I am betting that photo is a fake.  More lies from the wingnuts!

FL,

Why wouldn't the President have his picture taken with the Dalai Lama?  Why wouldn't he have a press conference with him?

I had the privilege of meeting the Dalai Lama in college.  He is a kind man who only wants the best for humanity.  Why wouldn't the President want his picture taken with a man like that?

1. "Obama is afraid of China"

-President Obama meets the Dalai Lama in a well publicized event, despite the fulminations of the Chinese. The Chinese protest vociferously beforehand, yet Obama meets his holiness anyway. Nevertheless, despite ignoring Bejing's wishes, Obama is somehow "afraid of China" based on which door the Dalai Lama exits. 

2. "Why wouldn't the President have his picture taken with the Dalai Lama?  Why wouldn't he have a press conference with him?"

-A 30 second Google search could provide anyone a plethora of stories, videos, and pictures of the President's meeting with the Tibetan leader. Yet, in BSF's bizarro world, he apparently doesn't know the meeting took place.  Lane

Again, I ask is a full frontal lobotomy a prerequisite for becoming a hardcore conservative? Because, outside of a lobotomy, I can't explain why conservatives can be so friggin ignorant and lacking in mental faculties.

Is it just me or is the Dalai the only world leader that the Usurper-in-Chief has failed to bow to???

Can't have a photo like that surfacing for the Chinese.  Bowing to the wrong master....

My inquiry:

And more proof:

Speaking of proof...    From the Saudi King, to the Queen of England, to the Emperor of Japan to heck!  The mayor of Tampa.  Does Obama have a back problem we don't know about???  He's making the office of the Presidency a laughing stock.
