46. OP could share some of the comments here to avoid that place getting |
|
so many clicks if we all went there to read them. I scrolled down in hopes someone did post some because I am curious to know what the heck the problem could be. But there are none posted here and I am not curious enough to give that site a hit.

5. So let me get this straight |
|
Politicians that Freepers like implemented economic policies that Freepers like. Economic policies that Freepers like make China's economy the 2nd-largest on the planet. Politicians that Freepers like put the country hugely into debt to finance tax cuts that Freepers like and military spending that Freepers like. Thanks to the economic policies that Freepers like, now China has the GDP to loan us the money that the politicians the Freepers like need to borrow to finance the tax cuts and spending priorities the Freepers like.
And after inserting China so much into our lives with the politicians and economic policies the Freepers like, the Freepers are upset with acknowledging this? By the President's daughter?

18. Sasha ... junior diplomat |
|
I think it's cute that she did that, and the Pres. of China (whatever we may think of him) must have enjoyed seeing the effort to learn Mandarin by the president's daughter. Big diplomatic points for the US!
I wish i was better at language. I can do English, but anything else is a struggle. Someday, I'd love to learn Spanish. We have a growing Hispanic population in Baltimore and it would be nice to interact directly with the ones that don't speak English.

19. Why swim in their sewer? |
|
They're upset that a nine year old has more intelligence and class than they can ever hope for. Just laugh at their stupidity and remember they're the ones that thought Fred Thompson was going to be President. Now they're pinning their hopes on caribou barbie - not realizing she's using them to make herself rich and they slobber all over her while she does it.

I think the POTUS and FLOTUS are great parents and if they have their children learning Mandarin (even if only a small amount), they're already a step ahead of the pack. If my children were still in school, I would encourage them to learn Mandarin as well. Any extra language is a good thing. My SIL, who lives in Athens, Greece speaks 4 fluently and is not an anomaly in her community.

28. Hu is visiting Chicago in part because the Chicago Public Schools |
|
started teaching Mandarin Chinese a number of years ago (Mayor Daley made great efforts to strengthen ties between China and this city, and this was part of the overall plan). According to James Warren in today's Chicago section of the New York Times, "12,000 Chicago Public Schools students in 42 schools study Chinese. ... The Chinese finance the Confucious Institute, the hub of those language programs, housed at Walter Payton College Prep. ... Some teachers of Chinese come via Shanghai as part of a Sister Cities program."
I live in Chicago, but I didn't know that.

There is something about right wingers and flags. Flags really bother them, like Sasha with a little Chinese flag. It's as if that gives China sovereignty here or something.

"a 9 year old" Chinese. As if that was too young to learn it, clearly not realizing that (1) most of us start learning our 1st language as infants and toddlers, and (2) it gets harder to learn new languages as you get older.

37. Nope...let me clarify. |

Obama's sister is half Indonesian descent...however her husband is of Chinese American descent. And if I remember correctly one of his half-brothers (who he keeps in touch with) from Africa is married to a Chinese woman and he lives in China.
