Obama Compares United States Unfavorably to China and Russia

Obama Compares United States Unfavorably to China and Russia
By Rush Limbaugh

OBAMA: 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.


(snip)

RUSH: All right. So once again, Obama compares our incursion into Iraq as a similar moral equivalent example of the Russians going into Georgia. You have to ask the question: "Is he just stupid, or is he pandering here to this wacko, nutcase fringe base of his?" We spent a year and a half there at the UN. There were 14 resolutions, maybe more. We had allies going into Iraq. We also had some people opposing us. But we just didn't march in under the cover of darkness when nobody knew it. Hussein knew we were coming. Everyone knew.

We had built up the whole thing for a year and a half. We had given Hussein ample time to show that he didn't have weapons of mass destruction. And this man, the Democrat presidential nominee -- who did not even consider Hillary Clinton as his number two, this man -- has the audacity, twice in one day, to compare the United States to both Russia and China, and in both instances finds the United States failing, finds the United States in second place.

The country that has given him a life and an opportunity he could have found in no other country on this planet, and he is not grateful for a single thing this has done for him. He has a sense of entitlement, apparently. I don't understand the lack of gratitude somebody like Obama has for the greatest place on earth.

I can certainly understand there are America haters out there and he is obviously one of them, but it makes no sense politically to seek the presidency of the United States broadcasting the fact that you hate your own country. That's why I question the political acumen and general baseline intelligence here that this little man-child operates from.

This is more Obama-ignorance. The Olympic workers that so impressed him were kept locked in a compound, having to practice all day long, in squalid conditions, not fed all that well, or allowed to see their families--for over a year. So Obama may want to rethink that, and consider the terrible price a few minutes of his entertainment cost, while it robbed every bit of freedom those young adults (some 2500 for opening/closing ceremonies and some 300,000 migrant workers to build the thing*) might've thought they had.

As for investing in China, if we did, China could steal any company we might build there at anytime (and, no, the USA isn't going to go to war with China because they stole some American's plastic watch factory!)--and, if you send any mock-up, blueprints, or plans of, say, what you wish to manufacture, the Chinese 'appropriate' them for themselves, with no remuneration, and produce a like-product (though many times inferior) so as to dent the market for the legit manufactures and gain technology they didn't have before.

Thus, we've made inroads in China--they've allowed a certain amount of manufacturing (sometimes a lot, depending on the goods) on a capitalist score, but to compare them to the United States--and have us come up wanting--is ignorance for which there is absolutely no excuse.

Good morning, Donal! Brother, Obama is truly very uniformed. He's just playing house and doesn't have a clue.

HEY GANG, Les is not welcome on my blog; he makes no useful contribution and seldom knows what he's talking about.

Please don't address his posts (point them out to me and I'll remove them). He's had far too many chances to stay, and he's blown every single one.

To continue to house his remarks would only earn me the label of 'patsy' or 'mark' and I don't play that.

Why doesn't Barack Obama immigrate to China if he thinks they're so much better than the USA? I'm sure he'd be immediately put in a position of authority and power, wouldn't he? Yeah, right. He'd be persecuted for the color of his skin. There are no opportunities for minorities in any totalitarian regime. But they're better at everything than we are. What an idiot! Pat
