I should clarify: I didn’t mean to insult the Chinese with the comparison.
My point is that this Administration is doing what every administration does and always has done in every human government that’s ever been (or ever will be) set up. That is, they assign blame (or take credit) unduly, fire vitriolic broadsides at the wrong targets, or at selected scapegoats in the general area, while staying in bed with the truly responsible (and a good thing, too, or we’d have no oil and environmental disaster—at least for now we still have oil), promise one thing and deliver something entirely different and say it’s what was promised… or just deliver nothing at all and blame one’s enemies… yada, yada.
I could as well have compared Obama to Napoleon, King George III, Henry VIII… or G.W. Bush… as the Chinese. The Chinese should not feel singled out in this comparison. I’m so glad to have been allowed this chance to clarify.
