re #13: That’s a fascinating thought, Maz2. Does seem like more than coincidence that he would take such an interest. And not unheard of – David Axelrod made his name by doing this commercially for candidates and companies, he and his team were so successful that now he’s Obama’s right hand man, of course. And then there Cass Sunstein, Obama’s internet advisor who openly advocates covert government intervention on the blogs in order to push opinion in a “proper” direction.

So, is Obama taking lessons from the Chinese or are the Chinese taking lessons from Obama and his team? Interesting question.

But I wonder what grabs their attention – probably keywords like Economy China Growth Encouraging Questions, things like that. Support Business Strong. But you know, if they were reading, I would tell them that you know, it’s a lot better if you were to gain the sympathy of someone who wasn’t an outsider. Shanghai Export Investment. It can’t be that hard. The arrangements would have to be private, but – umm, a couple hundred a month would probably be fine, I’m just sayin’. Hypothetically, of course. Of course.
