Hypocrisy: 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Winner Hosted a Lavish Dinner for Man Holding 2010 Winner Prisoner

Liu Xiaobo

The hypocrisy of President Obama is mind-blowing. He accepted the 2009 Nobel peace prize for good will as opposed to actual accomplishments. A little over one year later he hosts a lavish state dinner for China's President Hu Jintao. Meanwhile, President Hu Jintao is holding 2010 Nobel Prize winner Liu Xiaobo prisoner. Liu Xiaobo is a democracy activist. When Obama won the Nobel Prize, he claimed it was a "call to action."
Obama said he viewed the decision less as a recognition of his own accomplishments and more as "a call to action."
It's starting to look more like a call to the dinner table. I wonder what Liu Xiaobo had for dinner that night?

Flashback to Obama's 2008 stump speech on October 20, 2008 in Tampa Bay, Florida.
"Now, make no mistake: the change we need won't come easy or without cost. We will all need to tighten our belts, we will all need to sacrifice and we will all need to pull our weight because now more than ever, we are all in this together."
By "we", Obama meant you.

Obama tells White House Correspondents, "Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me."

President Obama attended the White House correspondents dinner and proved he has no comedic talent. He did get a huge round of applause for this line, "Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me."

Here is the video if you can stand it.
