Barack Obama cancels meeting with Dalai Lama 'to keep China happy'

What a weirdly constructed article. The title is totally misleading. The meeting isn't cancelled, it's just postponed. How difficult was it to put that in the headline?
:roll:

It is hard, because that is not sensational enough. If it had stated "postponed" then this thread would never have been started.

Hmmm I read the article three times and no where in it says that the meeting in Washington DC has been postponded. It does stated that this is the first sitting President to not meet with the Dalai Lama.

Oh and for the record both Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton have change there views allot since Mr. Bush was in office back the they both called on Mr. Bush to not go to China for the Olympic Games. Now they are acting like China's little lap dogs. Hmm talk about being hypecritical.

Mr. Obama Hope and Change you got to love it for you folks who voted for him it now stands for I hope he decide not to change his view again.

Are you asking him to break the BN rules.

"Mr Obama has changed his position on Tibet since his election campaign."

Are we surprised by this?

No... not surprised here. Comrade's in arms have a tendency to stick up for one another. Obama proves to all of us who he really is more and more everyday.
 
The USA dare not piss off China now. After all the spending Prez Doofus has already done and all he plans to do, it is imperative that China continue buying USA debt. The USA is now enslaved to China and, as with any slave, must bow to every desire of the master. ;)

The Buddhist monk arrived in Washington on Monday for a week of meetings with Congressional leaders, celebrity supporters and interest groups, but the president will not see him until after he has made his first visit to China next month.

Mr Obama then sent a delegation to the Dalai Lama's home in exile in India last month that confirmed the meeting would be deferred.

Where does it say that he will never meet with the man? :roll:

For whatever it's worth, I think Obama is being a complete idiot. But the headline WAS misleading. I don't like to be mislead. It pisses me off.
 
Well I think it's safe to write in Wikipedia now that America became China's bitch.

Edit: Oh I've just noticed it's the Telegraph, my bad.

Hmm go back and re-read the article it say that Mr. Obama will meet with the Dalai Lama at another time but not at 1600 Penn Ave. like the past three sitting President have when the Dalai Lama make his annual trip to Washington DC.
 
Regardless if postponed and not cancelled, this is a pretty good indication of what kind of President we have. And I think this "change-on-the-run"-"work-in-progress" style is more typical of Progressives. The President is not going to stand on ingrained values or ideology. He's going to deal with each issue as they come up. Little consideration to precedence. Right now he knows he needs to appease China. Old friends will have to deal with it. The important thing is making America into a more fair place for all of its citizens, hierarchy excepted.

I call BS on this, all we are seeing is Mr. Obama saying one thing when Mr. W Bush is in office and when he is he goes changing his views him and his lap dog Hillarey who also called on Mr. W Buch not to go to Chine for the opening Cerms.

You know what the Difference between Mr. Obama and the last three sitting Presidents is at least both Mr. Bush Sr.,Mr. W Bush and Mr. Clinton have integedery when it comes to the Dalai Lama. Oh and here is a nice little fact for all of you Anti-W. Bush crowd guess what Mr. W Bush award the Dalai Lama the Nations Highest Civilian Honor The Medal of Freedom over the objections of Chine.

What does Mr. Obama do snub him and bow to the Red Menece.

So here is another example of his Hope and Change. Lets hope he doesn't change his mind again :doh
 
^^Well thank you! "BS" means Best Statement, correct?:mrgreen:
 
Obama is 'playing for time' by playing the "oh the meeting with The Dalai Lama is postponed". Last the WH had floated out a warning they they "did not know " if the Presidents schedule would allow a meeting with the Dalai Lama.

As a person who positively hates imperialists and empires I am PO'd that the President is playing this type of silly game. The Chinese are indeed imperialists and barbaric murderers and they are attempting to destroy a nation of people. I like them about as much as those other barbarians the Russians.

This is not a good move by 'Bama....

I may br singing about the greatness of the letter W anytime soon now but yes President Bush did right with that symbolic yet good task of honoring the torn in the Chinese ass.
