Hu are You?

This post serves two purposes.

1. I’ve been looking for an excuse to use that title, and I think I just found it.

2. I’ve also seen an interesting thought kicked around the Internet the last few days. Does anyone find it the least bit ironic that the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize (i.e. BHO) just threw a big party for the oppressor (and jailer) of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Winner? While I’m not calling for complete disengagement with the Chinese, it does seem a bit inappropriate for our government to be hosting official state dinners with a regime that is still imprisoning political dissidents. For a presidency that is so concerned with maintaining the moral high ground in foreign relations, O’s reception of Hu does seem a bit hypocritical.
