Presidential Candidates Respond To China Earthquake
Dennis Perrin has the views of McCain, Obama and Clinton here. For instance:
HILLARY CLINTON: This earthquake is a lot like Senator Obama's campaign -- selfish, vain, elitist, and out of touch with hard working white Americans. The news reports tell us that over ten thousand Chinese citizens have died, but if Senator Obama were president, that death toll would easily be tripled. I am the only candidate with serious foreign earthquake experience. I know how to assess Richter scale numbers and will keep up to the minute with revised body counts and estimates. That's what hard working white Americans, and those black people who for whatever reason still support me, want and deserve in their president, which I already am, and have been for some time.

Dennis absolutely nailed Obama's rhetorical formula with this bit: "From its Great Wall to its rich tradition of philosophical wisdom, China has shown over the centuries the spirit and determination that makes great nations greater, its people hard working and humble, its cuisine embraced and consumed by millions worldwide."
