Obama Says China's Infrastructure Is vastly better than America's
08/21/08
I have seen the future and...umm...errr...it works!
-Barack Obama
I dig that cube thing at the Olympics, but "vastly" better? Have they seen Amtrack? The big dig in Boston (just kidding)? If that's the case, however, we should start huge government programs to keep up with the Chinese. That's the only reason we have anything, you know- massive government programs.
According to Obama, it's not China's slave labor- it's their infrastructure that accounts for their success (What would China be like if they had adopted a free market system in 1949?). I think corporations would think America a better place to invest if the corporate tax were lower, frivolous lawsuits curtailed, regulation streamlined, and unions not pandered to. Oh wait! That's McCain!
Finally, do you notice the way Obama's eyes light up when he's criticizing the United States?
**update**
Obama continued:
"And their school system rocks. They have five year old girls that aren't only cute, but can belt out a tune. Their fireworks are way better, too. Not those cheap sparklers we have.
John Kennedy, the politician I most resemble- except for the tough foreign policy and tax cuts- once challenged America to go to the moon. Well, I'm challenging America right now: That by the end of the next decade, we'll put on an even more spectacular opening ceremony than the Chinese!"
Don't worry about the language problems in the following video. It has subtitles.

Obama's smooth, but he doesn't know eff-all about China. I've been here in Beijing, one of the two cities the govt. has really developed. They throw up buildings in record time that fall apart even faster. As for the other 200 plus cities with more than a million people, you're lucky if you can throw a switch in a three star hotel without shorting out half the block.
Do not, repeat DO NOT, fear China. Oh yeah, and there are even more lazy doofus kids here that want to play video games all day, although they do get more stress from their parents.
