November 11, 2009 (LPAC)—In discussions yesterday, Lyndon LaRouche pointedly charged that President Barack Obama's threat to pressure China to revalue its currency, during his upcoming trip to that country, "is stupid." Obama "is absolutely stupid on China!" LaRouche added.

On the eve of his nine-day trip to Asia, Obama had said in an Oval Office interview with Reuters that the economic relationship between the U.S. and China had become "deeply imbalanced" in recent decades, and that he intended to raise with Chinese leaders the "sensitive" issue of their currency. This would be much to the liking of the London-centered imperial financial predators who complain that the yuan is significantly undervalued.

Adding that China has "a huge amount of U.S. dollars that they are holding, so our success is important to them," Obama then threatened more overtly that "the flip-side of that is that if we don't solve some of these problems, then I think both economically and politically, it will put enormous strains on the relationship."

"It's stupid to do that," LaRouche said. "It's just stupid. What Obama is threatening to do is stupid. In my opinion, obviously Obama's statement is merely another example of his intrinsic stupidity. If he weren't the craziest President in our recent history, he's the least qualified to be an actual President.

"That evil son-of-a-bitch," LaRouche said. "He's absolutely stupid on China! The jerk is stupid! He's not fit for anything. This guy is really a disaster, all the way around. He's incapable of doing anything right."
