I had forgotten that he refused to meet the Dalai Lama. That does have some layers of irony to it.

Horrid!

The Dalai Lama’s envoy, Lodi Gyari, played down the situation, saying there “has been no question of President Obama not, at the appropriate time, meeting His Holiness.” He said Monday in a statement that the Dalai Lama, “taking a broader and long-term perspective,” agreed to the postponement in the hope that a cooperative U.S.-China relationship will help resolve Tibetans’ grievances.
