Pres. Obama is aware of "press reports" about the blind Chinese dissident. But will not confirm he is under US protection.—

"I’m aware of the press reports," Pres Obama says of Chen Guangcheng, "but I'm not going to makle a statement on the issue."—

What? Not weighing in on an issue? No “he would look like my son?” No “they acted stupidly?“
But Pres Obama also made clear that every time the US & China meet, the issue of human rights comes up.—

Huh. Really? Like when Vice President Biden says he won’t “second-guess” China’s one-child policy. Pesky babies don’t count as humans, evidently.
@markknoller "Obama. . made clear that every time the US & China meet, the issue of human rights comes up." After he asks for another loan.—
