Obama to Meet With Dalai Lama

Good. 

U.S. President Barack Obama will host the Dalai Lama at the White House on Thursday despite China’s warning that the meeting with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader could further damage strained ties.

  1. Not good.

  2. Stupid for the President, and bad for us short term, but long term it’s probably a good thing.

  3. Not good to piss off the country holding your debt. It would be interesting for them to dump all of their bonds onto the market at once as payback.

    Frankly I think China is making too much of the meeting. But we are now beholden to those who have the power to destroy our money system.

  4. More bowing, ring kissing and such.

  5. I guess I’ll be the guy who says it:  I really don’t care about anything the Dali Lama has to say except this:

    “Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga.”    and

    “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.”

  7. Owen—-doesn’t this deserve a new post?

    Obama made him leave the White House back entrance past trash bags, so China wouldn’t be offended.

    And Obama gave him cufflinks as a gift.  But he doesn’t wear sleeved shirts.  C’mon, we need a new link at the top of the blog to discuss!

  8. I saw that he made him leave the White House by the back door and walk pas the trash and stuff.  But please, PLEASE! don’t tell me that our nitwit in chief gave the man cufflinks!  If that is true, Obama is truly the most ignorant man EVER to occupy the White House.
