So Obama says yesterday -
Quote:
"Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now with the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are vastly the superior to us now, which means if you are a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think, 'Beijing looks like a pretty good option.'"

Is he serious? Beijing is among, if not itself, the most polluted city in the world. They built this infrastructure specifically for the Olympics and for the image it would portray. The slums get no play. He has completely bought into the propaganda coming from the Olympics. This does not even mention how they built this infrastructure, with the displacement of thousands of people (if not hundreds of thousands) and ignoring devastating infrastructure issues that exist in other areas, such as the earthquake zone. Something tells me Obama wouldn't be keen on building up one American city at the expense of the much of the rest of the country getting nothing.
Also, just as one insane example in that quote, wasn't it just in December that over 500,000 people were stranded for weeks because the train system broke down?
And this is not to be critical of Obama, but it has come out the Hillary was never even investigated as a VP candidate. While I can't imagine that he would have ever considered her, I think it was a huge mistake not to make it appear as if he had. That's gonna be a huge slap in the face of the already disgruntled Hillary supporters.
