Introducing “Oba Mao!”

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 19, 2009 01:47 PM

The latest in Commie Chic: “Oba Mao” t-shirts!

Nope, not manufactured by RAAAACIST Tea Party protesters. Manufactured in China and sold by the Chinese for the rest of the Citizens of the World.

Mao-cheerleading White House communication director Anita Dunn has already put in a special order (via Breitbart TV):

***

On a related note, Bill Gertz reported last week:

President Obama recently shifted authority for approving sales to China of missile and space technology from the White House to the Commerce Department — a move critics say will loosen export controls and potentially benefit Chinese missile development.

The president issued a little-noticed “presidential determination” Sept. 29 that delegated authority for determining whether missile and space exports should be approved for China to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.

Commerce officials say the shift will not cause controls to be loosened in regards to the export of missile and space technology…

…Henry Sokolski, director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, said restoring Commerce Department control over the sensitive experts is a “step backward.”

“It’s as though Commerce’s mishandling of missile-tech transfers to China in the 1990s never happened,” said Mr. Sokolski, a former Pentagon proliferation specialist. “But it did. As a result, we are now facing much more accurate, reliable missiles from China.”

Mr. Sokolski said he expects the U.S. government under the new policy to again boost Chinese military modernization through “whatever renewed ‘benign’ missile technology” is approved.

“It was foolish for us to do this in the 1990s and is even more dangerous for us to do now,” he said.

    No need to loosen control as the Clinton administration already gave the Chinese everything they need.

    You walked into the party
    Like you were walking onto a yacht
    Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
    Your scarf it was apricot
    You had one eye in the mirror
    As you watched yourself gavotte
    And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner
    They’d be your partner, and

    You’re so vain
    You probably think this song is about you
    You’re so vain
    I’ll bet you think this song is about you
    Don’t you? Don’t you?

    More reason to have supported Duncan Hunter. And why he was cool to Romney.

    I’m a little more concerned about the missile technology being passed on to China than I am about the Chinese admiring Oba-mao as a communist…that’s not new.

    Gee Deja Vu President Carter all over again.

    During the cold war Carter administration, Russian missle technology was well behind ours too. Ballistic missle accuracy was within a mile of the target.

    At the time it had to do with bearings. The Russian did not possess equipment to produce machine bearings of the quality necessary.

    Step in President Carter. In order to provide the Russians better machinery for ‘farming tool purposes’ he relaxed the restrictions and the Russian were able to purchase our best machining tools.

    Not only did their missle accuracy increase, but their submarines became quieter.

    As for farming, it pretty much stayed the same, go figure.

    During the Carter years we gave the Russians technolgies that we spent billions to create. They go them for almost nothing. Bascially, because Mr. Big Tooth Smily in the White House didn’t see anyone as threat.

    Deja Vu and communist too.

    Let’s see, we’re making it easier for the Chinese to get any military tech secrets that they didn’t already get form Clinton, and we are inviting the Russians to view our nuclear facilities. Well, hell, we’re just a bunch of world neighbors, friends-all. Right?
    Peace and goodwill is just breaking out all over the planet.
    Right?
    Well, unfortunately. . .
    Wrong!
    And we will, once again, pay dearly for these foulups. Consistently stealing money from military budgets from year to year is one thing. Compounding that transgression with deliberate give-aways of military technology is yet another stupid mistake.
    Now we have an underfunded military trying to defend us against world powers that are using the same technology as we are, compliments of our presidents, past and present.

    We don’t know for sure. He let tens of millions of starve in the early 60s and then “re-educated” about 40-50 million throughout the 60s and 70s.

    Don’t forget that the Chinese gov’t is persecuting and murdering Chinese Christians to this day.

    Wonderful form of government, socialism! That’s why every murdering, tyrannical, bastard flocks to socialism like moths to a light. It gives them the power they crave.

    On a bright note, if they do have to actually use those missiles to get our natural resources (though we seem to be doing very well at giving them away already since both Russia and China are drilling closer to our shores than we can) they will very likely only use tactical nukes on the major population centers.

    Unfortunately, this will vastly decrease the number of people voting democrat so it may cause some issues between the communist Chinese and dear leader. No report yet from Comrade Gibbs on what compromises are being discussed.

    Despite Communist China declaring itself as a communist nation, it has been moving into a more socialist form of government since the 90s. Two things to remember though, never call them Socialists as they do prefer the Communist Label and never order Peking Duck; it is now known as Beijing Duck … also never eat with your hands around them as it is considered rude.

    Duh One “Hopes” you will not need to be made aware of these “Changes” but with him in office and a complicit congress behind him … well … better safe than sorry.

    The t-shirts? Who cares? We knew this a long time ago … let’s just hope it takes the Chinese this long to figure everything out … maybe we will have a better chance of surviving this administration.
