Obama Administration Confusing The Heck Out Of China
Amateur hour in the White House continues.
This is what China is hearing from the Obama administration now:
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has pleaded with China to continue buying US Treasury bonds amid mounting fears that Washington may struggle to finance bank bail-outs and ballooning deficits over the next two years. “It’s a safe investment. The United States has a well-deserved financial reputation,” she told Chinese television stations at the end of her diplomatic tour of Asia.
This is what China was hearing from the Obama administration a month ago:
President Barack Obama believes China is “manipulating” its currency, his choice to head the U.S. Treasury said on Thursday….Washington will “aggressively” use all its diplomatic tools to press Beijing to move faster on currency reform, New York Federal Reserve Bank President Timothy Geithner said …U.S. Treasury bond prices fell on worries China could respond to Mr. Geithner’s frank comments by dumping U.S. Treasury bonds.
So, basically, Secretary Clinton is asking the Chinese government to do exactly what Secretary Geithner and Barack Obama don’t want them to do.
But don’t worry, folks. Obama’s more than qualified to be President. Didn’t you hear him mention his years as a community organizer?
