One of the hottest selling t-shirts in China is one with Obama dressed in Mao’s traditional communist uniform.

The Chinese government is not happy with the trade sanctions and rhetoric coming from the Obama administration, but the Chinese people love Obama because as they watch him embrace what they consider to be dear communist principles.

Tony, pick me up a dozen, OK? I can probably sell them at a nice profit stateside, even being close to Chicago!!!!

If you think this is off the wall, it’s probably because you’re watching too many soap operas.

Actually these shirts have now been removed from stores so as not to offend Obama and give fuel to his critics. The Chinese government owes Obama a favor after he snubbed the Dali Lama when he was in DC so as not to offend them. Unfortunately all this has done is create bad publicity for both sides.
