#1 projects are sustainable and benefit all their citizens, not only elites, she said.

What a great idea, Hilly!

Lessee, for the $780 billion stimulus, just how much of it was for infrastructure improvements that we can all use - like re-paved roads, new bridges, yes - even transit systems and high speed rail. (Whether you use it or not, maybe someone else will, leaving you less congestion on the roads.)

[crickets] Ten percent?

Maybe we'll find out in this election cycle.

#2 "We want to establish a strong foundation to attract new investment, open new businesses ... create more paychecks, and do so within the context of a positive ethic of corporate responsibility."

Those that can, do.

Those that can't, lecture.

#3 Her statements strike me as odd and out of touch--really odd.

Maybe she is making these statements based on her and Bill's experiences with China. Slick Willy got chummy with the Chicoms during his administration and opened the door further for them to economically colonize the U.S. with the help of corrupt Congress critters.

Ditto what Bobby said.

#4 African leaders like the Chinese because they look the other way. They don't get all the baggage the west imposed on them. African leaders can operate without having their politics questioned.

#5 At this time China has the potential to become another United States. I push for the development of all resources for the betterment of humankind. Now a leader stands before us showing the way for the future of China. Stalin had an economist that did the same thing and he was dispatched within two months. Russia imploded, USA might, and China will if they ignore or silence this man. Capitalism commingled with China and the USA would launch us into a new age of prosperity that could reach the stars. Showing the way then others would join. Develop the fullest potential of each and every person. Then a veritable cornucopia of possibilities presents itself. I see a bright future for this leader;
"If a system fails to let its citizens breathe freely and release their creativity to the maximum extent, and fails to place those who best represent the system and its people into leadership positions, it is certain to perish,'' writes General Liu Yazhou in Hong Kong's Phoenix magazine, which is widely available on news stands and on the internet throughout China".
This is a future of what could be, what might be, and perhaps shall be. O can't handle this. We must find ourselves a leader.
