Comments on Sponsored content: A message for U.S. citizens in BeijingObama support marijuana legalization? No? I doubt it. What about his stance on medical marijuana?
Is Kaiser Kuo behind this? A little while ago he mentioned some work for the Democratic Party... "This event is off the record to the press" but was posted, in advance, on Danwei ? I think it means there will be no press at the event, not that it should get no press coverage at all. But the setup irritates me. The only way I could go and listen to him talk about the issues that would let me make an informed decision whether I'd vote for him for president is if I pay $250 to support his campaign? Couldn't the Bookworm have come up with a more open system, to allow those of us who are undecided to attend? Who is OBAMA? What has he done besides be born, become a senator and...all the hype is just because he isn't white. Why are all you Democrats ashamed of white folk? Aren't you being prejudice by hating whitey? Besides we already had a black president. His name was Bill Clinton...besides some moral obligations and being a wuss in terms of foreign conflicts we was alright. If you are so interested in US Politics why don't you move back to the US and actually contribute rather than being 10,000 miles away and bash everything American? Just a reminder...if it wasn't for Bush the elder and the current Bush the W the business relations between the US and China wouldn't be as sweet as they are in terms of dollars passing hands. Bush the elder was appointed to China under Nixon's administration and Bush the W now for the last 6.5 years...which was mighty good for all you Yanks over there in the land of Chin. You put a Democrat in the office of the President and there will be a lot more ill-will between the US and China. You vote Republican and both China and the US can work together...face it...be realistic. The relationship between China and the US is purely economical and the politics are a long way from cooperation. If you want business as usual or even better than a Republican is the way to go. Hillary, Obama, and most definitely Edwards are jokes. LOL... That's funny, I mean seriously funny. I'm not into politics actually, don't care, I like being oblivious and numb. Feels great. Now someone else respond, I want to see sparks fly.
