America, land of the Free! LOL

Here's the president of the country speaking his piece to the Chinese at the
opening of the Olympics!
It reeks of hypocrisy where America jails it's poor over money issues.

------------------------------------------------------
The president waited until his comments were certain to be heard, inside and
outside China. Then he took his best shot: "America stands in firm
opposition to China's detention of political dissidents and human rights
advocates and religious activists," he said during a stop in Bangkok on his
way to Beijing. "The United States believes the people of China deserve the
fundamental liberty that is the natural right of all human beings."
In South Korea, he called U.S. Olympians "ambassadors of liberty" who
represent America's "regard for human rights and human dignity."

He urged his hosts "to allow the Chinese people" to express their views --
presumably without being put in jail.
