Obama 'snubs' Dalai Lama meeting

[loco]

Tuesday, 6 October 2009

US President Barack Obama has been accused of bowing to Chinese pressure by delaying a meeting with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

Mr Obama has said he will not meet the Dalai Lama, who is currently in the US, until after visiting China in November.

I guess China tells the world, even the US, what to do.  

Refusal of visa to enter South Africa

In March 2009, the Dalai Lama was denied a visa to enter South Africa in order to attend an international peace conference.

South African government officials later acknowledged that his visa had been denied to maintain close relations with China. Chinese officials had urged the South African government to not admit him.

Withdrawal of Honorary Degree

He was to be offered an honorary doctorate by the University of Tasmania when he would be visiting that Australian state in December 2009 but that offer has since been withdrawn. The University of Tasmania collects $30 million a year from Chinese students and Australian Senator Brown is questioning whether the Dalai Lama's fight for Tibetan independence affected the decision.

The University of Tasmania says the issue was raised in a meeting with Chinese officials but it had already decided to withdraw its offer to the Dalai Lama.

I love it.  Obama keeps making these choices that will clearly have the left in America yelling, "WTF" while he's labelled by the right as radically left/liberal. LOL...  Really, he's racking all kinds of shit up that has the left wondering what the hell.  Where's the liberal Obama?  It's not in the healtcare bill, that's going to be a givaway to the insurance companies with no public option and mandated coverage.  It's not in the stimulus, that's all on orders from the bankers and had pretty much all of the left and right in America pissed off.  Where is it?  It's not in keeping these wars going?  It's not in him putting a check on executive power like he said he would and didn't.  Where is this liberal Obama?  All I see is another douche taking orders from corporations and bankers.
