Burning an effigy of our president? This is an honor?

While the Oba Mao image is apparently meant as an honor as well, it's also something critics from the right will immediately key in on.

It's actually pretty funny. Chairman Oba Mao~

I am very pleased the Chinese are so willing to embrace our president. Perhaps we could swing a trade with them. Our president for theirs. The deal could be made even sweeter if it included our respective national debts. I am chuckling over the Chairman Oba Mao reference too. That's just so hilarious. Why I remember how long and hard people laughed when the real chairman Mao killed about 70 million of his countrymen back in the day. What a funny guy.

Was White House comunicatiosn director Anita Dunn accompanying the President? Was it her idea, as a You-Tube self-professed Mao admirer, to get the Chinese to refer to her present boss that way? I don't think it's funny one bit. Our government is careening its way into Socialism or worse, and paralells to Mao or any other Communist butcher/dictator is not amuzing. These are very serious, disturbing tmies for our country, led by Obama and out-of control big spending, high-taxing, Democrats.

I'm actually going to listen to Rush just to see how he seizes on this as "proof".

See, it's not only right wing radio that recognizes BO for what he is, the far left Chinese acknowledge him as a communist, equivalent to Mao.

The OBA-MAO reference would be humorous were it not so indicative of the direction our POTUS wishes to tke this country.

I think it is hilarious. I agree that is indicative as to where he is taking us, but I want one of the t-shirts. I will wear it with pride. Anita has to be proud.

No doubt RDush Limbaugh will claim that the U.S. is in secret negotiations with China in order that Obama can instill a China-like dictatorship in this country.

Oba-Mao? This would be hilarious if it wasn't somewhat true.
