What You Get When You Beg The Bank For More

Bush had many reasons to go into China recently - urging further support in the global war on terror, urging the opening of democratic avenues, and the addressing vital issues of America's trade deficit in China.

Well, what do you get when you near-bankrupt an entire country, and you finance your wars and tax cuts with loans from China, and then you beg China to be more open to your ideology?

Turns out, not much.

-Note: In fairness, it may just be the President's bargaining style. Which, if his door-opening style is any indicator, would be a severe disadvantage.
