Comments on China, Obama and McCainArmitage on team McCain's China detail? Uh oh... Obama's China list is much better than McCain's. Bob Kapp is a smart pick, as well as Lieberthal and Lampton. I'm impressed! With the permission of Obama's campaign volunteers, I would like to stand in the background wearing my Chinese silk/satin APEC jacket and retro Chairman Mao red star cap. In recent years, Condoleeza Rice (U.S. Secretary of State) has been the subject of some very nasty racist commentary on Chinese internet chatrooms. If Obama is elected and such patterns continue, how might that figure into things? "In recent years, Condoleeza Rice (U.S. Secretary of State) has been the subject of some very nasty racist commentary on Chinese internet chatrooms.

Not because of his pigmentation, but because McCain is better suited for the job. Nonetheless, I think China has a problem with folks that don't have cadaver-white skin tones. That's an understatement. They have a problem with everyone. What's the deal with that? Simple. It's all insecurities. Of course, I wish Miss Rice would have run for office. She would have been totally kick ass. No one better than Condi. Hopefully McCain picks her for V.P. |
