Just a Little Chinese Propaganda Please

I was at a fabulous party Saturday night in the Georgetown neighborhood of South Seattle. The people were beautiful; the space was amazing and the potato soup shooters–out of this world. There were several people from the advertising industry who I hadn’t seen in years. And I must say we are all aging very well. I chalk it up to the dark, cloudy place we live in. Anyway, I ran into a business acquaintance. He and I were making jokes about this hideous recession we have all found ourselves in, (better to laugh than cry). You know what Obama needs?” he said. “He needs some serious down home, Chinese propaganda. Lie to us if you have to.” I never thought I’d agree, but he’s on to something.
