Oh, so he understands it and he doesn't like it at the same time. This is a scandal? 
What do you expect from a few peopl who dont try to understand anything, only strong arm ideals.
Strong Arm ... What like drone bombings of citizens in Pakistan without permission, Assassination squads in foreign lands without permission, undeclared wars that go on for months without congresses permission.. that kind of strong arm tactics?
You mean wars that where started 10 years ago and we are still attempting to clean up? The one that tons of people warned us on in the start saying it would not be easy and fast to get out of? Yet the drums of the patriots beat on.
Are you talking about that UN effort in Libya? The one other nations called us into?
You seem to like to twist reality around to fit the point you want to make.. But at the end of the day its still not reality.
No KANO, the drone bombings in Pakistan killing innocent people and alleged terrorists.. or as Obama calls it Pakkystan.
The seal team that went into Pakistan territory and allegedly killed Osama - without asking for permission from the Pakistanis
The kinetic military action in Libya. That pesky constitutional war power clause that Obama scoffed at and ignored during the recent Libyan war where the US supplied most of the money and air support and bombing for the war.
Those are all true things .. you are too biased to see it that way .. but if some other country like Russia or Iran came in and did those things in the US .. how do you think it would be received?
This is cleanup from the 2003 Iraq Attack, you know, the one that Bush got approval for from the Congress and the UN. Just forget that nearly every word uttered before those two bodies was untrue, at least Bush got approval and that is all that counts, right?
Before that Attack, I was reminding people that we are still in Germany, Japan, and Italy because of WWII and still in Korea from that war, what makes you think we can get out of Iraq any quicker.
That qualified me for some top notch abuse from people who were so biased that they thought Bush was telling them the straight story.
You go in based on lies and there is no telling what is gonna happen next.
You are complaining about them killing Osama now?
Yeah dude... lol.. Have fun.
Biden waffles and flip flops on his comment about China's one child policy .. no biggie coming from that devout catholic.
Biden also has 'No Comment' about the Georgetown Chinese Basketball fight ..
But he couldn't resist using the Tea Party as a political punching-bag.
Stooge Biden strikes yet again.
What does basketball have to do with anything?
And yeah, our politics effect the global economy. So for someone to mention the tea party outside the US is not strange.. The rest of the world already thinks they are a freak show anyway. I just dont get why you would complain about people talking of a public spectacle.
Also, lets take a look at his full quote..
It 19s a very good question. One of the multiple rating agencies reduced our rating from AAA to -- plus -- come down one notch. And that was very disturbing and bothersome to us, and we have to deal with is.
We do have a deficit that I was asked by the President to head up a commission to try to deal with that deficit. And we made some significant progress, but not the progress we could have made and will make. The bottom line is we have to deal with two elements of our economy. One is what we call entitlement programs -- long-term commitments to our people in the area of particularly Medicare. That is the safety net we have for people once they reach the age of 65 to be able to be assured that they have health care.
And it is not sustainable without some changes in large part because we had what we call a baby boom, which doesn 19t sound like much to Chinese -- 40 million people is not a big deal, I know. (Laughter.) But adding 40 million people to those who will benefit from the Medicare -- Medicaid payment -- Medicare payments has put the program in a position where changes have to be made.
It 19s easy to make those changes, and we had a tentative agreement to do that between the major political leaders of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party and the administration. But there is a group within the Republican Party that is a very strong voice now that did -- wanted different changes, and so that deal fell through at the very end.
What we ended up doing is setting up a system whereby we did cut by $1.2 trillion upfront, the deficit over the next 10 years. And we set up a group of senators that have to come up with another $1.2 to $1.7 trillion in savings or automatically there will be cuts that go into effect in January to get those savings. So the savings will be accomplished. But as I was talking to some of your leaders, you share a similar concern here in China. You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand -- I 19m not second-guessing -- of one child per family. The result being that you 19re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.
So hopefully we can act in a way on a problem that's much less severe than yours, and maybe we can learn together from how we can do that.
But in the meantime, the concern that we will not make good on the investments that people have made -- in your case up to $1.7 trillion total out of a very large economy is not to worry about. We could not afford -- we could not afford not to make good on that requirement.
And that's why the irony was that in the Treasury offering in the first four days after the downgrade, more people actually came and bought our treasuries than before. And the interest rate paid on those treasury notes actually went down because they were so much in demand. So obviously, the rest of the world didn't think we were about not to. If the world thought, my God, they 19ve been downgraded, and they are not going to make good on their debt, it would not have been viewed as the safest haven in the whole world to invest. We are still -- for all the economic difficulties nation 19s have -- we are still the single best bet in the world in terms of where to invest.
And so -- but we do have to deal with the deficit. We will deal with it, and that's what this 2012 election is going to be about. The American people are going to speak on that.
Now, look, one last point, both our countries are going through a political transition in 2012. And it 19s very important in my view that we both are aware of the political sensitivities in each of the countries as they go through that. But I 19m confident we will come out stronger, as will you. But I don't in any way suggest -- please don't have the press read that Biden said that $1.7 trillion investment in the United States is not a big deal. It is a big deal if you are a Chinese. (Laughter.) It is not a big deal in terms of our financial instruments. It is a very small part, and so the Chinese people should take solace. In order for us not to make good on China 19s debt, we would have to disappoint tens of millions of Americans who own 85 percent of that debt. And just in pure political terms, no politician wants to do that. (Laughter.) You 19re safe. (Applause.)
Kano, these are all three things that Biden said, or non quote in the case of the fight on the basketball court, that Biden made or did not make in China during his trip.
You'd think that a person visiting China might have some opinion or thoughts on a fight between a visiting US college basketball team and a Chinese Military team. He went to the basketball game played earlier in the week. I would have expected from a diplomat something to the effect .. like .. I'm sure tempers flaired in the heat of competition or something like that and that we should all learn to get along would have been the diplomatic thing to say .. but no comment is what we got.
He had time to comment on the evil Tea party.
Did Biden mention the political factions in China .. did he say .. I got to go talk to the Dali Lama while I'm in this area . .or I think I'll have dinner with the Falun Gong believers (those that aren't in jail). He did mange to besmirch a the tea party that has been around since what ..two years at most.
No, i dont think our vice president really needs to care about basketball. If he did you would be pissy that he likes a team you dont.
Sorry, but the global economy a bit more important then a basketball game. If you dont like people talking about actions or groups you support, you should look at why it makes you so ashamed.
Biden paid a tribute to brevity -- in an incoherent sentence of 68 words. .. a good video .. Hah .. what did he say'?? the only thing phonier (or is that funnier) than Biden is someone defending him so passionately as you do.
You seem to have a ton of trouble reading today..
I would say whats funny is someone bashing someone without reasoning.. Three posts today you have just said some randomness on the subject without even reading. Kinda makes it not worth the time and almost like attempting a debate with steamed.
Kano,
You seem to have a reading comprehension problem all the time .. or maybe it's just my posts and that you think your are some sort of master baiting troll?
The response above was pretty clear. It concerns Joe Biden ... it was about Biden in China .. this thread is about Biden in China and his waffle on China's one child policy. The above thread is how Joe is a master of the language and doesn't say much of anything .. but it takes him a lot of words to do that.
steamed
He still appreciates the hell out of China for allowing the US to hold some of their Chinese bling though.
