The Chinese government should be ecstatic at this economic meltdown. After all, isn't this exactly what Karl Marx said would happen? This financial crisis created by corporate greed validates the manifesto, doesn't it?

Well perhaps China isn't communist after all. I've been there. I've seen the billboards and the toll booths. I've seen the rich in their fancy cars and the old women trying to sell heads of cabbage on their doorsteps. I've seen the huge sweatshops where young people toil seven days a week while the factory owners proudly give tours to their American customers.

If China had stayed true to Marxism they would be completely immune to this capitalist debacle. But I guess they got greedy also.

@Larry Morono,Hillary is far from a liberal or protectionist.Her husband sold us out to the chinese,destroying our manufacturing base and outsourced millions of tech jobs to india.It created short term wealth for some,but long term hardship for working Americans.

Considering that BUSH borrowed from CHINA....... SAUDI ARABIA ( the nation whose nationals attacked us on 9/11) and Dubai, we need to 'play' nice with China!

What people on the far-right, never seem to understand or admit is that BUSH's irresponsible spending has placed our Nation in a VERY dangerous situation! The bulk of the National debt, WHICH BUSH DOUBLED (thanks)....... is owed to China. ALL that China has to do is demand payment and we are........... DOOMED.

BUSH took office when Pres. Clinton had balanced the budget; left BUSH a *** budget surplus***........ an economy that was growing and strong, and a National debt that Clinton had been paying DOWN!

BUSH LEFT OBAMA A DISASTER......... BUT........ THE FAR-RIGHT CAN ONLY CONDEMN, CRITICIZE AND DEMEAN A NEW PRESIDENT DOING HIS BEST TO DIG AMERICA OUT OF THE............BUSH DISASTER...................!

This is a walk in the park for Hillary with foreign relations as she was once First Lady. I wouldn't send gaffe duck Biden he might start WW3. LOL

Right now America needs to be first, especially with our stimulus money. Buy American in this critical time makes sense. Its our jobs leaving, its our tax dollars that are going to help our economy. Should we all say lets buy foreign, forget American made? We have done this for the past 30 years and now you see where we are. Fair trade is fine, but trade is trade and outsourcing is outsourcing. Trade and outsourcing jobs are not the same. Thieves in suits sell our jobs and
get wealthier and could care less about our jobs ,families or our children's future. Then the same thieves give themselves bonuses with our money . A kid graduates from college and is told India is hiring. Lets put America first. A weak America will never be able to help the rest of the world and there are many places that do need help.

Judy, if that's how you really feel bout our president then that's they way you feel. This internet thing has more than enough reliable, accurate information about our president. If you bothered to take 20 mins outa your day at some point and read a little bit you might come to STOP CALLING Obama "the messiah", it's stupid and pointless. Just because the media MAY have portraied him in that way dosn't make it's so. Besides how often do you trust the media???

Obama '12

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin where have you been the last eight years? Obama has been president for a month – not nearly long enough to make this big a mess. George W Bush took over the presidency of a superpower with a strong economy and a budget surplus. He left office with the economy and our international image in shambles.

Elephants are supposed to have good memories, but nothing is more forgetful than a Republican – maybe the party needs a new mascot. What animal has the worst memory and shortest attention span? It should also be an animal that cannot get along with any other animals.

Go Hillary!

Once again she is doing what she feels is right for the country and the world.

Even if the haters out there cannot give it a rest, she is doing great things without undo flash to improve our image. After Bush policies, what a change.

It doesn't matter what Hillary or anyone else says. China is going to do whatever they want to do, just like always. The problem is the U.S. and other countries have been stupid enough to let them get away with everything.

@ strong....

My gawd Dude......... YOU NEED HELP

For all the tough talk from the right about communism, socialism etc. do your realize that China has funded our national debt?

Like it or not we are now joined at the hip and are INDEBTED TO the worlds largest communist country – "Red China".

Think of that fact every time you pay your mortgage, your credit card bill and shop at Wal-Mart or some other discounter for cheap electronics and clothing that used to be made here by American workers but are now made offshore so corporate CEO's and Wall St. could cash in at our expense.

If you still think unbridled capitalism is good for the America worker then I hope you choke on it!

American people have no confidence in this administration. Today stock market is going down further. We have lost almost 2,500 points since election. This shows which way we are going. Clinton is enjoying her trips abroad at tax-payer's cost. Barack is gathering all mayors today for a speech giving them hand-outs or bail-outs. We have tax-cheats in the administration who are policy-makers. We have attorney General who is also a fraud and close to terrorists. He had forgiven Marc Rich and now says we are all cowards. John Kerry goes to Gaza and brings a letter from Hamas for Barack Obama. Barack had campaign adviser who was linked with Hamas. Do you remember? Where is our country going exactly. Where are the intelligent, smart and honest people? Wake up America now before it is too late.

The obama team is working very hard. Please give the credit for that. Stop bashing your government. It looks so bad when people in other countries read it.

TRUTH are you drinking the neo-con's kool-aid. Global Warming is a fact, just ask any asthmatic. I am not breathing to well in the summer months, Look at England they had a blizzards, our southern states are getting colder. Way back in the 70's I told my parents that we will be getting California's weather and we would get theirs. It is happening.

TRUTH go on Globel warming and see the poles and they are not what they used to be, Glacier National Park is deterorating fast. Look at the weather, hurricains that are devasting, remember Katrina, Rita, Gustuv, Ike and they will be getting worse. Tornatoes are not getting any better either. How about a few years ago, Hurricains were going into the winter months, and they ran out of names and went into the Greek Alphabet. Don't tell people that it is a Liberal propaganda, do research and then come back and make an apology to the Liberals

Enough of the Clintons....GO AWAY Billary......France or Canada would love to have you.

nadine> Tax cuts have NEVER worked.

You know, this woman is very personable and very intelligent. I think you guys should give her a fair shot instead of slamming everything she does.

I wonder how much money she is asking to borrow this time??

For heavens sakes, every president in the past has had cartoons printed about them and they all wern't good, so why is this such a big deal. I don't think it was anything to do with race, just a cartoon and Al Sharptian needs to get a life. The black people are going to make race a lot worse than it has ever been and they are the ones to do it.

To TRUTH

I agree that global warming is extremely controversial, with the current premises based on a flawed United Nations report.

But that doesn't change the fact that there are far too many people in the world. Our air is choked with pollution, the rain forests are disappearing, wild life is being decimated, energy shortages are a serious concern, food price increases are causing worldwide havoc, millions are starving, job competition is causing great anxiety and unrest, etc., etc.

So, whether global warming is real or not, we have to clean up our environment. That should start with a very serious dialogue about overpopulation and individual responsibility to change the way we live.

Funny how CNN opens up only the least controversial story in its ticker for people to comment on.

This black liberal who hates Obama! what are you going to do if I bash Hilary? Are you going cry? Throw an e-fit.
get a life.

We should be VERY nervous about China holding the Note!

Thanks to the Stimulus Spending Spree we are in REAL danger of being forclosed on!

If I were China I would call in the note!

This new adminstration is close to bringing this once Great Nation to it's knees!

China cannot be trusted.

TRUTH – I mean FALSE, where did you get your paranoid filled junk data? 'The polar ice caps are back at the same level they were in 1979'... according to whom please?
There is a consensus on the opposite, i.e. Arctic SHRINKAGE, check your data please. The most alarmist predicts that by 2030 the Arctic ocean will become ice free (during Summer of course), the most conservative claim that will only happen sometime near 2100, but IT WILL HAPPEN, no ice cap on the North Pole during the Summer!
But the Earth is cooling off and the Global Warming is a scam...

So, the right honorable Comrade Chairman Obama and the wonder-dope twins leading Congress rammed a bill down our throats that puts us on the road to socialism. And in order to get this money that His Holiness threatened us that we needed to have, they need to get China to buy up a bunch of our debt. So, who owns the U.S.?

You goofed-out libs talk about how China has to stop being so mean, yet thanks to the yutzes you support in Washington, China is now needed to give the U.S. money. You really think Hillary's gonna chew them out on human rights while sticking her hand out begging for money?

All the more proof that you utopian ideals are nothing more than lofty dreams, and when it comes crunch time you have no concept of how things actually work.

Secretary of State Clinton is AWESOME!!!

Way to go HILLARY!!

Why are GOP trolls bashing people who are trying to do things to help America without waiting to see if it is successful or not. Oh I know Rush has told you to help destroy America.

Well, all I can say, she doesn't have her foot permanently lodged in her mouth like Biden does! What a loser that man is!

DO ALL YOU HOPIUM DRINKERS KNOW THAT YOUR MESSIAH HAS NOT YET PAID THE BILL IN CHICAGO FOR HIS GRANT PARK EXTRAVAGANZA ON ELECTION NIGHT?? HE STILLS OWES THE CITY OF CHICAGO OVER 1 MILLION DOLLARS.
SO MUCH FOR THE ERA OF RESPONSIBILITY..... PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH OH ANNOINTED ONE. PAY UP BEFORE MAYOR DALY RAISES OUR TAXES AND SHOVES YOUR BILL UNDER THE RUG.
DO IT NOW!

mcgregor says the U.S is kissing up to china, thats NOT A GOOD THING, is it?

Hillary is just the man for the job. Lying and exaggeration are key negotiation skills.

She's going over there to beg for money I guess. She is good and lying, cheating and stealing so my guess is she will get a pretty good chunk of cash. Somebody has to pay for the huge spending bill Obama just signed!

Why should China buy even more?

"There's some protectionist language in the stimulus package," said James McGregor, who runs JL Mcgregor & Company, a business consulting company in Beijing.
"During the campaign, Hillary called on the president (George W. Bush) not to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. China doesn't know what to think of them. She's got to come here to build trust." The stakes are high for America.

We need to do the serious SALESMANSHIP and I don't think Hillary can pull it off,she is a protectionist ,and a socialist.

Yes, get the Chinese to fund our deficit spending, then stick it to them by refusing to pay back.

Clinton will put America's best interest first..

COME HOME BILL IS WAITING!

I think Hillary will pull this agreement together, but it is a shame that America has been reduced to what we are today. Our survival depends on the country that hold the mortgage. We must fight for our for independents as a country. Our jobs and manufacturing companies has to come back to the U.S..

Maybe President Bush would be willing to "advise" her now, now that she is in over her head.

With Obama's spending plans, Hillary better beg China for more money to cover our debt!!

Having an audience that is trying to find fault with her every word should make Hillary feel right at home. It is just like the Washington press corp.

To: Go Obama, much Love

Hold on a minute. I never was for President Bush. Didn't vote for him and disagreed with alot of what he did. So please don't accuse him of being 'my satan'. I refer to Obama as the messiah because that was how the media portrayed him during the campaign. I think he is a good man, but we were unable to get to know him, unable to get to really hear what he thinks, because the media just acted like he was the messiah. President Obama used a lot of lawyer talk in the campaign, saying what his current company wanted to hear.

I do hope President Obama succeeds, because we are all in this together.

Also, I am not Judy in PA. That person made some nasty remarks that I would never make or agree with.

Good comment Nicholas! You go Hillary!!! She's at the top of her game and the world is beginning to love America again. President Obama in Canada yesterday was awsome!! Canadians love Presidnet Obama!!!

Clinton has become the Secretary of the Begger State. Given her husband's fund raising abilities from foreign governments, she should be quite successful.

Hillary looks fab. She can do anything!

As long as she stays on message and doesn't miss-speak she will continue to do well. She realizes that she's representing the US and not her personal agenda. Shine Madam SOS.

I think that SOS Hillary Clinton is alot better than SOS Condi Rice. She is well liked in EU, why because she has traveled with her husband many times with her husband President Clinton during the 90's. They listen and she is a tuff cookie.

I will wish her the best of luck.

Thank God somebody in the Demojunket party is working. Everyone else seems to be on vacation – at the taxpayers' expense.

We're depending on you Hillary!!

Our relations with China are mainly based on economic need. We as Americans are now in debt to them up to our eyeballs, which means we have had to ignore their monstrous human rights abuses, environmental destruction, and poisoned products, while allowing them to export to us more than we export to them. It makes me sick to think that we have put ourselves in this position, but it seems like we have no way out now. The irony of it all is that we still exclude Cuba from the nations we do business with, or can travel to, but we have sold our souls to China.

Who's watching Bill?

Hillary will do us proud. Don't you worry.
She is world famous, intelligent and more than capable.

And she is still sexy at 60+ years. Eat your hearts out, you Chinese guys.

I don't think that china shoud help us out in any way shape or form. In order for the US to remain a strong country, we need to figure this thing out the correct way. There are several ways that the government could have done the " Stimulus Package" without spending a dime, and that would be to cut taxes and control government spending. Cutting taxes would put more money in all peoples hands, not this joke of $13.00 per paycheck - how is $52.00 per month going to help, when taxes are going to rise, the people will be back into the same position they are now or even worse - not rocket science. cutting taxes means that people have more in their paycheck for take home, the grocery bill will go down, the gas price will drop, everything will go down, which equates to more money in peoples pockets. Anyone from Harvard should know that.

Nicholas- When will you and your liberal cohorts realize that global warming is a farce? Two decades ago we were warned about "global cooling" and now global warming is a liberal hot issue. Today, temperatures are continuing to decline, not increase. The polar ice caps are back at the same level they were in 1979, and the number of polar bears in the Arctic is back to the same number it was in 1979, at 20,000 (not 5,000 like Liberals claim). We just had one of the coolest years recorded in the past 100 years. Global warming is a theory devised by Liberals to allow firther government intrusion into our lives.

Hillary Rules!

I wonder if she got shot at?????????

Why ever would the Chinese trust Hil-liar-y. I certainly don't.

Yeah, Nicholas, and Hilary is just the person to engender this trust. Get real. America has now lost every bit of negotiating strength. Obama is making us an also-ran.

China – one of the few countries in a position to lend, oh I don't know 800 billion dollars to another country that now needs to bankroll a spending package? Should that country be borrowing those sums from any country?

And you Mrs. Clinton, would have made a better president!

I don't think Hillary would make a positive gesture to China. She has already angered North Korea with her hawkish statements, and most probobly will do the same in China. She is not the right Secretary of State for a President who wants to build bridges.

I wonder if she is talking the truth. I think its the opposite. They should record everything she says or send someone with her.

Hillary rocks!!!

Hillary went to collect more donations for their Swiss account .

i don't trust china.

Those of you who are thinking about bashing Hillary, don't even think about it much less do it.

Those of you who are thinking about bashing Hillary, don't even think about it much less do it.

I Totally Agree with You, Nick.

They better cooperate while she's overthere! OR ELSE!

being the beacon of free trade is not what it is cracked up to be

China is taking advantage as are others

Service v. product trade imbalance is a false argument

Hold them (trade partners) to the fire (get better terms), don't give away the farm as past presidents have done

Secretary of State HIllary Clinton will do an outstanding job.....as usual!

Watch out for the snipers!

I think Hillary started on a good note. She has resumed her post with the belief that American listen before acting. However, China needs to be persuaded on severally issues so that they can join hands to build a better world. China must engage in global warming fight, anti-terriorism fight and reduce or stop it sale of weapons to bad governments.
