Power Line - Unintentional Triumphalism?: "The Epoch Times quotes a Chinese psychiatrist living in Philadelphia, Yang Jingduan: 'In the eyes of all Chinese, this will not be seen as anything other than a big insult to the U.S. It's like insulting you in your face and you don't know it, it's humiliating.' In his letter, Wei said that so-called patriotic Chinese -- supporters of the Communist party and the dictatorship -- were ecstatic over 'My Motherland' at the White House. One such 'patriotic Chinese' exclaimed, 'The right place, right time, right song!' (This is a phrase with roots in CCP propaganda, as the Epoch Times article explains.)
The Obama administration's conduct of foreign policy is often referred to as 'dumb diplomacy.' But to be insulted without even knowing it, even though a billion others do, is dumb even by Obama standards."
One of my Dad's favorite sayings was to point out that something was done "accidentally on purpose".
