Virtually every international news organization ran this week with stories about President Obama bowing down before the Japanese emperor. But only The Freeport News (in The Bahamas) reported the fact that the most humbling bow of all was the one he made before the Chinese president.
It is depicted in this editorial cartoon below, which shows the purported leader of the free world not only bowing but actually kissing the shoe of the shylockian Chinese leader – as if Obama were just another hapless, Third-World leader (represented here by Bahamian PM Hubert Ingraham) showing due deference to the master of his country’s economic fate.
To be sure, the cartoon takes a little creative license. But the essential point it conveys is undeniable: America cannot stand like a superpower with China squeezing its balls in a financial vice grip!
