Via Blackfork it seems that President Obama has decided to not meet with the Dalai Lama to appease China.

Hrm.

It means Mr Obama will become the first president not to welcome the Nobel peace prize winner to the White House since the Dalai Lama began visiting Washington in 1991.

In 2007, President Bush gave the Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama. In 2009, Obama won’t meet with the man, because we know who holds onto the USA’s purse strings.

Change you can believe in.
