Americans shouldn’t worry. Although, the economy is diminishing, jobs are dwindling, soldiers are dying, and a new health care plan might just restructure the nation and cost the taxpayers billions of dollars, our Commander-in-Chief is looking out for us. In fact, he’s in China right now—improving our relations and receiving a hero’s welcome. But, does he deserve it?
After a rocky rating month, President Obama’s presidential approval rating has stabilized, states Rasmussen Reports. 28% of American voters strongly approve of his performance, and 38% strongly disapprove. However, 48%, the highest number this year, give Obama poor rankings in the way he is handling the economy.
With U.S. ratings aside, President Obama will be met with a warm welcome in Beijing Sunday. Chinese artist, Liu Bolin, sculpted a “Burning Man Obama” statue. Bolin’s reasoning behind his work is Obama’s worldwide impact. He simply thinks Obama has set the world on fire…really!? “Fiery flames are one of the “Twelve Symbols” found on Chinese Imperial robes. It represents the Summer Solstice and the renewable energy of the emperor himself.”
The National Post writes, “No president has travelled more than Barack Obama in his first year — his current trip to Asia is his eighth.” Just before Obama arrived to Asia, Liu Mingjie, a man, who designed T-shirts with Barack Obama’s face superimposed on China's late Chairman Mao Zedong’s body, was told by the government not to sell the shirts. They were concerned he might find it offensive. The T-shirt reads “Oba Mao” on the back.
While Obama is idolized and publicized in China, Fidel Castro journals about his admiration for the U.S. President daily. The AP writes, “Fidel Castro appears to have a fascination with the American leader that would make Obama Girl jealous, writing obsessively not only about his politics, but of his youth and vigor.” Amid his slobber fest, Castro warned, “Soon, the ultra-right of the United States will try to limit (Obama's) rule to four years. A Nixon, a Bush or somebody like Cheney will be the new president, and then the purpose of these unjustifiable military bases that threaten the peoples of South America will be very clear."
Is it scary to you that China is placing the face of our president on a communist leader’s body? Does it alarm you that Castro writes of Obama as a role model or an Emperor?
There is seriously something wrong with this picture.

Obama is our greatest president pure and simple. He is actually working to fix the problems with our country. The worlds good will towards us makes his job easier.
The old southern racism still lives. This time we get to take a jab at the negro's, the Chinese and Commie Cuban's. Intereting how you make reference to China and Cuba; it shows you know some history. It stincks of cold war era anti-communist propaganda and with a hint of nostagia, a desire to see life here in the south return to way it was in the 1950's and 1960's.
Oh grow up Kimberly!...You finally have a truly great leader and you choose to "dis" him...go back to loving the Bushes and the Cheneys and watch your country become hated again while you drift into obscurity.
Kimberly,
You've obviously have drawn fire from the Obama loving leftie pin heads. Let's see, now you're a "racist", you need to "grow up", and you just refuse to see the truth, which is Obams is our
"greatest President pure and simple."
The truth is what drives these lefties crazy. Most of Americans think Obama is the WORST President in history, and his support is falling every month as people awake from the daze they've been in. Enjoy it while you can all of you liberals; it's going to come crashing down in 2010 and 2012.
Thomas Jefferson's writings suggest that foreigners did not understand the Founder's division of federal and state government powers evidenced by Article V and the 10th Amendment. More specifically, Jefferson indicated that foreigners thought that the states are subservient to the federal government, but indicated that this is not the case.
"With respect to our State and federal governments, I do not think their relations correctly understood by foreigners. They generally suppose the former subordinate to the latter. But this is not the case. They are co-ordinate departments of one simple and integral whole." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:47
Sadly, not only do foreign leaders evidently still not understand that the US president actually has less powers under the US Constitution than prime ministers and kings of other countries, unfortunately constitutionally-impaired state and federal lawmakers now wrongly think of the Oval Office as a throne room too.
Obama is a socialist cockroach.
God decided to create the perfect brainless invertebrate. First, he created jellyfish. That was practice. Then he created Obama liberals and perfection was achieved.
