Excerpt:

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese government spokesman said Barack Obama should be especially sympathetic to China's opposition to the Dalai Lama and Tibetan independence, as a black president who lauded Abraham Lincoln for helping abolish slavery.

"'Lincoln played an incomparable role in protecting the national unity and territorial integrity of the United States.'

"Beijing calls the Dalai Lama a dangerous 'splittist' encouraging Tibetan independence, a charge he denies."

I'm trying to picture the Dalai Lama speaking with a Southern accent.

This is China playing on the Politically Correct sympanthies of BHO. Politics is genetic with the Chinese.
