So we are reluctantly left with the predicament (right now, between election seasons) of either:
1) Suddenly reversing decades of practice by eliminating deficit spending…
or
2) Allow foreign investors to purchase our mounting, suffocating debt, while hoping for some sanity to reach our halls of congress soon.

Since choice #1 is a laughable notion in this time of waxing socialism, I choose to face realities, and admit that we are, indeed, faced with the ugly reality of needing choice #2. Hence, my statement (whether reluctant or not), “we need them more than they need us.”

And regarding your statement: “If China doesn’t buy our debt there is no way Obama will be able to continue to push his socialist agenda”, I believe there is some clarification necessary. I apologize for not setting up my original statement a little better.
My point in saying that China is not in a position of disadvantage concerning the US was not meant in the context of China enabling Obama to usher in socialism.

Rather, it was meant as a statement regarding foreign policy, strictly. That is, we can expect China to play a slow, methodical game of chess, here, as North Korea makes its bellicose statements and strong threats against South Korea. They have issued a warning that for any S Korean to stop their vessels on the water for weapons inspections, that N Korea will, indeed, treat that as a provocation of war. China has little motivation to ‘reign in’ their rowdy child, N. Korea. As I said, China isn’t the only player who now senses a weakened leader in the White House, eager to assert their own strength, while continuing the minor slashes at the USA, performing a “death by a thousand cuts”, eventually, on my country.

That’s what I meant.

I disagree. If China doesn’t buy our debt there is no way Obama will be able to continue to push his socialist agenda. He will either have to print so much money it becomes worthless, tax everybody into poverty, or cut all non-socialist programs (which still would not be enough because even the military is small change compared to how much SS and Medicare take up in the budget.) China not buying our debt is the best thing that can happen. It is probably the only thing that will stop this deficit spending, get the budget balanced, and return America to dependence on capitol gains instead of welfare and wealth distribution.

International reaction to Barry has been superficially warm and cheerful, but he has yet to be greeted as a liberator by them (despite Hillary asking the Russians to push on her [reset] button). They certainly won’t all scream “how high?” when he yells “jump”. This is the time for our will to be tested. Our interests threatened. All to the mocking laughter from a world wishing for our fall from perch. Having this president is the best present our enemies could have received.

So begins our fall.

So .. what?!?!? So .. now there gonna be real jerks?!?!? DOH!!!

Kim Jong Il; (Yawn, zzzzzzzzzzzz)

N. Korea has gotten alot of oil and food in the past from America using these threats, but Obama is making it clear to the world that we are all in poverty, a tactic tricks he taught, in making countries become fearful beggars.

And N. Korea and China don’t look to good in biblical prophecies and all the beast stuff, communism repressing. King Obombie leading the world.

And I don’t think Mini Mao is independent. He can’t fart without permission from China. So I think the threat of N. Korea invading S. Korea should be measured in terms of what China wants. And I can’t see why China would want to get something going militarilly in Korea when they are about to take over the world economically, as The Moron kills capitalism and uses Global Warning to drive us back into the stone age.

But the Chinese are pretty mysterious, and the Wee Hitler is definitely nutso, so I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.

Oh wait, the farm is about to be confiscated anyway.

… “North Korea has made a choice,” she said. “It has chosen to violate the specific language of the U.N. Security Council resolution, [resolution] 1718. … The international community must “reign in the North Koreans” and force them to honor their obligations under international law, Clinton said ,,,
