Guess what? It turns out the Chinese are kind of curious about how President B O’s healthcare reform plans would impact America’s huge fiscal deficit. Government officials are using his Asian trip as an opportunity to ask the White House questions. Detailed questions.

Boilerplate assurances that America won’t default on its debt or inflate the shortfall away are apparently not cutting it. Nor should they, when one owns nearly $2 trillion in assets denominated in the currency of a country about to double its national debt over the next decade.

Glad to see the Chinese pressing our President to answer the tough questions that everyone back home wants answered.

As you are probably well aware, there are plenty here at home who have been screaming this at our government for years.

What is really sad is that our Government won't listen to us. It takes pressure from those holding the keys to our financial wellbeing to get their attention...

Nahh, if you keep repeating a lie for long enough it will become accepted as truth. He'll keep plugging away at the lie, rest assured.

I don't know - do they make handheld teleprompters?

My guess is he will hold another "townhall meeting" with some hired chinese actors to ask some "tough" questions written by White House aides. This level of Political Theater is what the American People want, right?

Yep, crazy. Although the "astro turf" has definitely been a little more than that.

I think the actions of the opposition is s l o w l y taking effect.
