China kills over 150 and injures 800 plus and all Obama can say he is concerned. But let Honduras kick out a potential dictator and he gets all worked up and sides with the other Latin American dictators. No condemning of China's dictators. Why no condemning of any of the world's dictators?

How can you compare the two situations?

 

China's incident are ethnic issues among civilians. The military has been mobilized to bring order, but they aren't the cause of the unrest.

 

How in the world can you tie the two to some semblance of similarity and condemn Obama's reaction?

 

Of course he's concerned. But what more should he be in light of the fact that China has apparently taken the initiative to try an bring a resolution themselves? China didn't kill those people. Chinese citizens killed other Chinese citizens.

Anything to slam Obama ...

Obama likes dictators for some reason. He has yet to call any of them out. But he will apologize for anything the US has done. What I believe is he sees things he likes about totalatarian government, for I think he believes he could be a benevolent dictator. He is well on his way, controlling the banking industry, the auto industry, maybe soon all the power companies and the health industry.

^China's riots are ethnic clashes between Muslim Uighurs and the Han majority in a certain province. What does that have to do with dictators?

Well it supports talking points...

The bolded is so tired and untrue. :ohbrother:

Give it a rest, please. At least for the sake of other posters who care to read as well as contribute ideas and relevant opinions and not declare that our President likes dictators and wants to be one himself. We all have better things to do.

Are you tired of it? Sure! Is it untrue? Well.....he went to Germany and apologized.....he went to Turkey and apologized....he went to Egypt and apologized...he went to Saudi Arabia and nearly got on his knees...Saying it is untrue does not make it untrue.

Just like saying it's true doesn't make it true.

 

Give me links to the words that said "I'm sorry" or "the United States apologizes."

 

What's interesting is that I don't "love" Obama...but there sure are plenty that hate him.

I'm trying to recall what was George H. Bush's response to the Tianamen Massacre?

Agreed with the point you are making (or I think you are making). Folks sometimes fail to fully grasp the intricacies and complexities of international relations. The US President just can't go around all the time criticizing world leaders even if he may disagree with their actions. There's a time for tougher talk and actions and there's a time for restraint. I don't know enough about Central America and Honduras, but I'm willing to give Obama and his advisors the benefit of the doubt for now. Maybe the best way to undermine Chavez' influence was to take the position that the Honduran leaders shouldn't have removed Zelaya from office without some impeachment or judicial action if the opposition and military truly believed he was acting contrary to the Honduran Constitution. With the US' past support of military coups, we would have really set back of efforts in Central and South America if we had supported the military removal of Zelaya in my opinion based upon what I know.

bballfamily....do you want President Obama to interfere in the activities of other countries or not? Because while you criticize him for not interfering here, you criticized him for interfering in Honduras.
