Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, “No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.”
No one is scrutinizing first-term United States Senators' words either, but that's not the job the president has now.
As I've advised before, the president needs to get a pair.
And for the record, it is much easier to be the president of Thomas Friedman's idealized China than to be the president of actual America.
Oh, and China's president is a dictator. If we're comparing. I personally think that nobody in their right mind in America should want to trade places with China.
