Here’s a new take on Obama’s election as president from none other than China’s state-controlled media. According to this op-ed from China’s strictly-controlled Global Geographic Weekly, Obama’s victory is a ‘color revolution’ – similar to those promoted by the Bush Administration in Ukraine and Georgia.
The unsigned article says in part:
“The U.S. presidential election, watched so closely by the entire world, has finally given us its result. In the past, [the U.S. election] rules and guidelines haven’t always reached a positive outcome – but the fact that the American people previously elected “the decider,” no doubt helped these same people elect Obama, a Black man, the new U.S. president.
“After over 200 years of White rule, Obama, a Black man, in one fell swoop successfully launched a “color revolution” and seized power. In recent years, the leadership of Bush’s Republican Party has stirred up trouble all over the world, playing up the “Rose Revolution [Georgia ],” the “Orange Revolution [Ukraine ],” the “Tulip Revolution [Kyrgyzstan ],” and other “color revolutions.” Well, this time a “Black Revolution” has played out in America’s own land, and it was this color revolution that forced them from the stage.”
