Obama Asia tour: US-Japan treaty ‘covers disputed islands’ – A Case of Dipping into One’s Savings to Live Large?

April 25, 2014 by Mr. Allen 4 Comments

Obama makes toast to Emperor and Empress of Japan

It's never good to dip into one's savings just to live large.  Gluttony and largess - when one can ill afford it - is foolish ... and a sign of decadence.  To me, the U.S. so-called pivot to Asia - emblemized by President Obama's trip to Japan - represents just that.

A simple take on the Hu Jintao U.S. visit with respect to Western media

January 21, 2011 by YinYang 11 Comments

I am sure many of you have been following Chinese President Hu and U.S. President Obama's speeches and Q&A's with the media over the last couple of days. The governments are absolutely trying to be constructive in their relations. For that, it's been refreshing to see. After hearing them speak directly, I must say though, the nuances in the Western media are largely lost. … [Read more...] about A simple take on the Hu Jintao U.S. visit with respect to Western media
