    Hopefully the Chinese people will not be fooled as easily as we were in the 2008 election. I did not vote for BHO and now see that George Bush was a man of real integrity and real class. Yes the job of Prez is hard,yes it takes lots of manipulating,yes it's hard to be honest and transparent,yes it's hard to please everyone. Yes there is much that goes on behind closed doors that we will never know. But this mafia styled gov't is too much to take ! We have lost our democratic way in D.C. and our democracy. We now have a thugocracy. Wake up people.
