“Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, ‘No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.’”

“Obama Seeks a Course of Pragmatism in the Middle East,” The New York Times, March 11, 2011.

Mr. Obama is right.
President of China? | The Weekly Standard

This isn't the first time he's been jealous of China. Scary stuff the leader of the free world looks to China and is envious.

"Mr. Obama is right.

If you’re president of China, people around the world who are fighting for freedom don’t really expect you to help. If you’re president of China, you don’t have to put up with annoying off-year congressional elections, and then negotiate your budget with a bunch of gun-and-religion-clinging congressmen and senators. If you’re president of China, you can fund your national public radio to your heart’s content. And if you’re president of China, when you host a conference on bullying in schools, people take you seriously.

Unfortunately for him and us, Barack Obama is president of the United States. That job brings with it certain special responsibilities. It’s a tough job—maybe tougher than being president of China. But Barack Obama ran for president of the United States. Maybe he should start behaving as one."
 
He'd have a rude awakening if he ran for President of China.

I have friends in Asia. They are still laughing at us for electing Obama.

One of the few times I'm inclined to agree with you.

I'm surprised that you agree, seeing how you have the picture of communist on your avatar. Interesting, to say the least.
 
Let's vote for an actor next time. I prefer a facade that my will is represented.
 
No, he denies Mandela is a Comunist, and Jet refuses to say what he stands for.....

That actor was respected and feared, unlike the empty suit in there now.
 
Like a dictator? :?

Why would you want a leader that is feared?

Because other countries responded to his leadership. They knew he meant business.
 
CHRIS BLACK, CNN CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Frank, President- elect George W. Bush came to Capitol Hill today for the first time since the election intending to listen to congressional leaders, the bipartisan congressional leadership. But he also made it clear to them, in more than two and a half hours of meetings, that he intends to stand by his tax cut proposal and other planks in his campaign agenda.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENT-ELECT: I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

:lol:

Bush was making a joke.

Obama's several times lamented the Chinese way of doing business.
 
I'll support his move to China. Here, he's in way over his head--or pay grade. The press thought that was hilarious, didn't they? Now, it's getting old.
