Bush again caves in to China on trade talks

Hats off to the Chinese negotiators who have schooled the Bush team for seven years. One might almost think that China was the world's great super power and the US was the fast developing but still developing-world country. While it's good to see the Democrats talking about tackling the problem of China's never-ending story about how difficult it is to address their weakened currency that makes exporting easier (and competing against China more difficult) one has to wonder what kind of results they will have if they can't even stand up to the lame duck 28% approval president who is leading a highly unpopular war.

Let's hope this administration or the next figures out how to negotiate because it appears to be a lost art in America. They only know how to beat up on poor countries with their bogus "free trade" talk when they are in a dominating position, much like a school yard bully. Meanwhile, expect more of the same thrashing.
