First Lady Michelle Obama took time out of her busy vacation schedule to stop by Peking University and ‘educate’ students there about freedom of speech and, strangely, rule of law, saying,
” That’s why it’s so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media, because that’s how we discover the truth. That’s how we learn what’s really happening in our communities in our country and our world. And that’s how we decide which values and ideas we think are best–by questioning and debating them vigorously–by listening to all sides of an argument and by judging for ourselves. My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens and its not always easy, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, because time and again we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard. And as my husband has said, ‘We respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies but when it comes to expressing yourself freely and worshipping as you choose and having open access to information. We believe those universal rights–they are universal rights that are the birth right of every person on this planet.”
The notion of the Obama regime supporting free speech, particularly in journalism or on the internet is dubious, at best, since this is the same administration that has a Department of Homeland Security responsible for shutting down dozens of websites and other agencies installed as “Super Flaggers” on YouTube to target videos and even whole channels, such as Mark Dice’s anti-Illuminati channel for censorship.
Surely Chinese students are smart enough to know when they’re being handed a pack of lies, as in this case. Michelle Obama’s suggestion that her husband’s presidency supports freedom of speech is at odds with the insistence by long-time democrat Dianne Feinstein that the government should have the ability to define who is a ‘real journalist’ covered by freedom of the press, for example.

i going to laugh my ass off for the rest of my life if the government arrests her ass there it will be worth the money we spent on her trip there to see her ass in a Chinese prison for inciting civil unrest and the kicker is no matter how much money or how much power you have them people don’t play around with your ass you do your whole time and it’s no luxury suite hotel either
just look at that picture of it! omg…
China can’t get rid of her fast enough! People there said her mother started barking orders the minute she got to the hotel. Fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. You can take the bitch out of the ghetto but you can’t take the ghetto out of the bitch!!!
She is a total dissppointment to the human race
She is a total dissppointment to the human race
Isn’t that what dictators do?
keep the bitch we don’t want it back
ugly ugly china can haqve her
No one will listen to her here so she has to go abroad in order to get an audience!
Did they not tell her that those who question and criticize the political leaders in China, tend to not do it twice? They did give her a heads up that China isn’t a free nation, right?
