Iran thinks thinks so, too…
Barack Obama told an Asian audience today that a strong prosperous communist China “can be a source of strength for the community of nations.”

If you believe that a powerful Marxist regime is a good thing then this makes sense.
The BBC reported:

President Barack Obama says the US “does not seek to contain” China’s rise as a big player on the world stage.

“The rise of a strong, prosperous China can be a source of strength for the community of nations,” Mr Obama said in a speech in Japan’s capital, Tokyo.

Better US ties with Beijing do not mean a weakening of relations with US allies in the region, he said.

Describing himself as the first “Pacific” US president, he said the US was committed to the area’s security.

Mr Obama is now in Singapore, where he is to attend an Asia-Pacific economic summit.

So, is there any communist regime that Obama does not trust?

In related news… China detained several political dissidents ahead of Obama’s visit to the country.

    One wonders if obama recalls China’s response to the massacres and slavery of black Africans / Christians / Animists in the Sudan, as Bush wanted to do?

    Doing something about it would get in the way of their OIL.

    Just think how well things will go for the world once the US is a 2nd- or even 3rd-rate nation, under obama.

    I think that was supposed “pacifist” US President…….Pacifist at lest when it comes to international items.

    Domestically, people like us know full-well the single last thing POTUS happens to be is a pacifist.

    Coming soon to a town near you…. FEMA/Civilian Defense Force Camps for those who believe in and act towards freedom for everyone.

    I believe Richard Nixon, being born in Yorba Linda, California was the first ‘Pacific’ president.
    And if calling home means having lived in proximity of the Pacific then Ronald Reagan can be added to that list.

    Patriot Larry Kudlow was on a roll last night, ripping all over Obama on CNBC. Kudlow practically screams that “Obama is not my president!” as he’s talking about Obama going on his Asian tour to preach about American declinism rather than speaking optimistically about America. It happens early in this clip:

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1330190758&play=1

    Then later in the show, when he’s talking about the decision to try the terrorists in the criminal court system rather than a military tribunal, he says Obama making Holder announce the decision is “cowardly”. It happens about the 4:20 mark on this clip:

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1330202681&play=1

    I’m surprised blogs haven’t run with either of these two soundbites today.

    “Describing himself as the first “Pacific” US president”.
    Of course its about him. Does not the entire Universe revolve around him because so commands it?
    Just look at his cabinet and close friends. All of them have a deep love affair with Chairman Moa and carry and quote from the little red book constantly.
    China is the model the obamao is striving to create here.

    Obama, the South China Sea and LOST

    [What is far more troubling is that Beijing’s Marxist mandarins have looked to the vastness of the South China Sea as a kind of Sino Mare Nostrum; evoking the concept of Our Sea, which Mussolini’s nationalists used to describe the Mediterranean as an Italian Lake.The South China Sea is claimed by Beijing, but bordered by the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and Malaysia. Also, the disputed but resource-rich Parcel and Spratly islands are scattered through this basin. China claims the sea as its territorial waters and is willing to exert de facto control of this vital region as part of its exclusive economic zone, its shipping lanes of communication, and a southern defense bulwark.

    [..]

    While the U.S. and many NATO nations remain transfixed on the Taliban threat in Afghanistan, rogue players like North Korea and Islamic Iran will take advantage of the situation to destabilize the equilibrium. Meanwhile, serious but cautious players like the PRC shall probe the parameters of this classic sphere of influence. China’s “Mare Nostrum,” may soon become a geopolitical fact as Beijing tips the global balance of power.

    [..]

    Over half of the world’s merchant fleet (by tonnage) sails through the South China Sea every year. The economic potential and geopolitical importance of the South China Sea region has resulted in jockeying between the surrounding nations to claim this sea and its resources for themselves.

    [..]

    Barackistan HQ signing LOST

    We only have to look back as far as October 2007 when the conservative Eagle Forum explained (via Illinois Review) why a recent “case heard in the Supreme Court clearly spells out why the U.S. should not forfeit sovereignty and sign onto the Law of the Sea Treaty being considered in the U.S. Senate.”

    LOST would be a form of world government with power to decide all matters relating to the two-thirds of the earth’s surface covered by the oceans. All disputes arising from man’s use of the sea would be heard and decided by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, a 21-member international court that sits in Hamburg, Germany. There is no appeal from that court, which has the power to disregard or override U.S. laws and even the U.S. Constitution.]

    this was the begining of something, something that has been in the making for decades., THE NEW WORLD ORDER aka: GRASSHOPPERS & ANTS..

    just a sample:

    ht Ann in a previous thread..

    AL GORE, THE UNITED NATIONS,
    AND THE CULT OF GAIA (1999)

    [This decidedly unscientific, even bizarre, view of the environment appears to be driving U.S. and U.N. environmental policies, including locking up or restricting development on huge areas of U.S. lands, and making it more expensive to produce or use our natural resources. Science, technology and industrial development are regarded as anathema to the followers of the Gaia philosophy.]

    much more @ link..

    other sample’s:

    Soros & Strong are behind the power grab for the
    New World Order under the auspices of the UN..

    Eco-economic Warfare and the Planned Collapse of Western Civilization

    [At the UN, Strong would go on to become Director of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), Senior Advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and Chairman of the Earth Council. He would also become Chairman of the World Resources Institute, Co-Chairman of the Council of the World Economic Forum, and a member of Toyota's International Advisory Board. Strong's most influential role to date, however, has been as the Secretary-General of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED -- aka the Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro. It was this conference that gave birth to the Earth Charter and Agenda 21, which would lay the groundwork for a completely managed global society run and managed under the auspices of the UN, under the guise of saving the environment.

    It is people such as Maurice Strong, Mikhail Gorbachev, Al Gore, and Ted Turner that are at the forefront of the UN's environmental/depopulation agenda, at least at the visible/gofer level. The four are also members of, or have close connections to the Club of Rome. It is the Club of Rome that has been guiding the environmental movement since its creation at the Rockefellers' estate in Bellagio, Italy in 1968. It's aim is to reduce a large majority of the global population, as well as manufacture crisis through which the world can be "united" under a one world government, as was admitted in their 1991 publication, titled The First Global Revolution.]

    Agenda 21

    The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development

    keep telling everyone that Obama’s “intent” is to unite church/mosque & state via “Covenant for a New America”.. establish Sharia Law, sign US sovereignty over to the auspices of the UN (Caliphate, of which he will reign supreme if he gets his way, and if allowed to, eventually will no matter what “we the people” say, as Obama is certainly not alone in this obviously long time in the making endeavor, he is the ONE the powers
    that be chose to do the “transitioning”)..

    Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in Copenhagen

    the nightmare of it all is ringing truer & truer every
    day.. hope we wake up before it becomes a reality..

    Oh, what a ridiculous & idiotic Doofus this guy is.

    I’m sick and tired of this usurper running around & speaking as a “representative” of the United States of America. Certainly Obama’s derogatory blather does not, in any way, represent the viewpoints and hopes of the majority of U.S. citizens. And I’m sick of looking at him and listening to him.

    Obama continues to misrepresent our views; the last time I checked “false representations” constitute fraud. Should we be surprised by this? No! Fraud always seems to be part of any discussion involving Obama and his personally selected minions.

    This is insanity! Hasn’t the “America Hating” Obama caused enough harm? Hasn’t he done enough damage now to satisfy himself?

    So, let me get this straight. Obama – the installed “usurper” in chief – not only lied and lied and lied about his past & his beliefs (ad infinitum) just to get himself in the white house, but he also acted with intent, purpose and design to: defraud us of our rights at multi levels; disenfranchise us in untold numbers of ways; stole from us our hard earned money based upon contrived, fraudulent “facts” in order to richly reward the billionaire global elitists and his favored multinational corporate hogs with these small fruits of our labor; with intent and purpose undertook actions in the international arena specifically to downgrade the position of the United States of America; repeatedly apologized for us and showed his clear disdain for America while traveling and speaking abroad (seemingly never-ending); substantially weakened our borders thereby opening us to acts of terror and further looting when he quietly began condoning stealth illegal immigration while simultaneously abandoning current border law; disrepected and willfully put our troops in harm’s way by ignoring safety issues and other demands for necessities made by our military leaders; and, amongst a million other things, Obama has not stopped his ugly habit of misrepresenting the citizens’ viewpoints and will of “we the people” even as he continues to speak disparagingly of America and the citizens of America.

    Oh, this is by all means not the end of it. I could spend an entire year speaking on this subject, believe me. With no teleprompter, I might add…..

    No words could possibly describe the extent to which the usurper Obama has defrauded and disenfrancised us citizens. We are reminded of this great harm each time Obama stupidly and so carelessly opens his big mouth.

    I can’t see why China would lock up dissidents ahead of Pres. Obama’s visit. After all it’s not like he actually supports dissidents of dictatorial regimes. In fact if the Commies clubbed the dissidents in front of Obama on his state visit he would probably yawn and spout some passive non confrontational nonsense wishing all violence would stop, and then go back to eating his $100 wagyu steak. I mean this is the same President who blew off the liberal son God the Dalai Lama before heading to China. If he’d do that there’s no way he would even visit with a single dissident on his trip.
