Maybe Biden could prod our government a bit on human rights violations in regard to women and children in our country. Take care of home first, don't point a finger at others because there are four pointing at you, people in a glass house shouldn't throw stones...bottom line lets clean up human rights violations in our country and be an example before we condemn others http://www.cidh.oas.org/Comunicados/English/2011/92-11eng.htm

Don't worry, We tax paying Americans got you covered China. Right after we bail out the US government, we're gonna settle all debts by "chipping in a little extra". You see, We the People are a very forgiving lot. Our govenrment has been taking Social Security deductions from the checks of every American (who works) and the powers that be have decided not to return it as promised. Gee a bunch od American's were sure counting on that money, but oops, It was more important to fund all the special interest and let us not forget all of those communist countries, like you China.
So while we over regulate and drive US businesses out of existence, or out of the US.
We simply cannot compete with you China, because of your slave labor work force and the funding the US sends you and countries like you.

Now Obama has set up his back door imigration and created an entire new class of welfare in America, we are just like any other second or third rate country. After all, don't we need more illegal aliens, in America because of all the over employment?

I am sure glad we have polticians like Obama who works hard to bring the USA down to the level where more countries will like us.

Apparently somebody forgot to inform Joe that you don't tell your owners what to do.  And given that Joe, who was in Congress/the White House during this whole time that this country was sold to the Chinese in the name of outrageous spending, he's just as responsible as anybody for the fact that this country is now their property. 

Get back in line and do as you're told, Joe.

I would like to prod some of these politicians for the Patriot Act, six wars and a huge defense bill. I can only imagine what the rest of the world thinks about us thanks to these morons we keep electing, abd their blatant hypocrisy.

The United States has lost its moral authority. Obama has also lost his moral authority by his actions. The Republicans glory in their lost moral authority.

Who'd he plagiarize in this speech?

I'm sure the conversation went something like this "Hey, uh... don't get all upset, but I'm just going to tell the media I spoke you about human rights, ok?"

I'm sure Biden's prodding was as effective as China's prodding for us to "stop our addiciton to spending".

Tolerance of repressive regimes in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Israel (towards Palestinians) gives no cause for China to relax its own restrictions to its citizens. The US has no moral authority at all on this matter.

"Human rights", or "human suffering"?
