OUCH! That is smarts!
But, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, Sen. Messiah Barack, really stepped into yesterday in a rather bizarre comparison of Red China and the United States.
Here is what the Chosen One said:
Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now in the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now, which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think Beijing looks like a pretty good option.
WOW! So, if I am correct, Sen. Messiah Barack is comparing the United States, a free-market democracy, with Red China, a still communistic, totalitarian, state with a little capitalism?
A question for the Chosen One.
Does he really think that what we see in Beijing is representative of the whole of the nation?
I guess he was too busy to notice the earthquake in Southwest China. A lot of infrastructure did not seem to hold up too well.
Also, does Sen. Messiah Barack realize how all of what is seen was built?
I am certain that there were no AFL-CIO people there to make sure all the builders were unionized. I do not think that these workers were given much thought. I am certain that a lot were not exactly paid union scales. And or the left's newest, greatest cause, the "living" wage.
And really, what is the rest of Red China like outside of the showcase cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong? Does not Sen. Messiah Barack realize that out of a population of 1,000,000,000 people, 800,000,000 people are still classified as peasants?
What is really appalling about such a comparison is that it shows a clear lack of understanding the fact that Red China is no ally. They are a competitor and a threat. The Red Chinese are spreading their tentacles far and wide. The Red Chinese are spreading their money around Africa buying two things that they desperately need. Influence and oil.
No, I do not think that the potential next president of the United States needs to compare our nation, a free-market democracy with a one-party dictatorship that dabbles in a market economy.
I hope that the appearant selection of Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) will help him to not make such inane comparisons in the future of this campaign.

Well ya gotta admit that they have better Chinese food in China than you can find here.
On that, I may have to agree with you!
"Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now ..."
All? ALL? ALL of their ports, ALL of their train systems, ALL of their airports?
My guess is there was no teleprompter in sight when he said this.
