Dalai, Dalai, Dalai, Get Your Adverbs Here!
By Wyatt Earp | October 11, 2009
Lost in all of the crazy Nobel Peace Prize news this week was a snub of presidential proportions. President Barack Obama decided not to meet with the Dalai Lama during his trip to the States. Instead, he sent his lickpsittles, Nancy Pelosi and some broad from the State Department. Wow, who knew the Lama was relegated to Lorenzo Lamas status?
This apparent snub is the subject of my article at Family Security Matters. Here’s a sample:
The world is a dangerous place. Well, it used to be before January 20, 2009, when Barack Obama was inaugurated president and the savior of all humanity. In the nine months since that fateful, yet joyous occasion, the planet has been eradicated of weapons, villains, and evil. Of course, Kanye West and Jimmy Carter are still around, but most other evildoers are long gone. As a result, there are very few heroes left in the world.
That being said, one has to feel sorry for Kenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama. The Tibetan holy man spent his life promoting peace and enlightenment, both in Tibet and across the globe. He has graced the cover of Time magazine in 1959, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, and has been a symbol of hope for millions. The Dalai Lama has accomplished so much, but the man still cannot get an audience with the one true peacemaker, American President Barack Obama. Wow, tough crowd.
When the Dalai Lama visits Washington DC this week, there’s one door he won’t be knocking on – 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Instead of any meeting with President Obama, the Tibetan spiritual leader will meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs, Maria Otera. This will be the first time a sitting president has not met with the Dalai Lama during a visit to Washington, since 1991.
So in effect, the president was the Kanye West to the Dalai Lama’s Taylor Swift: “Yo Kenzin, I’m gonna let you finish, but Barack Obama is the greatest Dalai Lama of all time!”
