Its not like this is the first time politicians pander to the East and especially China in particular. All leaders eventually give China the respect that it deserves. Well at least the sane ones anyway but who would of guess that a wayward maverick would be left so vulnerable in a traditional mandarin dress. If you look closely on the sleeves you can see the suits underneath the garment. In this case we have a wolves in dragon's skin. But all this mole hill over much ado about nothing is mostly an Associated Press photo opt. Many politicians have bowed to Asian leaders and this is just one that came across as awkward for the most part. But in Obama defense he is very tall he is over 6 feet tall. Not quite as tall as lanky Abe Lincoln who was 6 '5". If America keeps its sovereignty than I have no problem with this but if we have to compete with third world countries then my opinion is subject to change. After all it was Bush who was really the first Chinese president America had. Not Obama who many are calling Oba Mao for a new red scare.
Part of AMERICA keeping its sovereignty, is NOT going into debt to China for fluff gadgets and crap that we can very well do without. In order to achive CHANGE, AMERICA will have to be willing to work outside of its "comfort zone" and its going to be difficult to convince large numbers of people that AMERICA has problems big enought to warrant any action at all.
