Knee slapper of the Day: Democrat Whines about Palin Criticizing President Oversees

Ah for the good old days of decorum as Democrats respected Bush at home and around the world. Anyway Obama has made criticism of US policy overseas a staple of his speeches so I don't get what this democrat is whining about:

Her 90-minute speech, delivered Wednesday to an investment conference, touched on issues from financial markets to health care, Afghanistan and U.S-China relations. It was generally considered more moderate in tone than those Palin delivered during her 2008 campaign for vice president as Republican John McCain's running mate.

Still, a Democratic congressman chastised Palin for criticizing U.S. foreign policy during her first visit to Asia.

''Leaving aside the propriety of criticizing the president while on her first trip to Asia, the assertion that the United States is ignoring areas of disagreement with China is flat wrong,'' said Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The administration regularly discusses a range of issues with Chinese officials, Berman said.

In one regards Berman is right, the Obama admin has been trying to start a trade war with China to our mutual detriment, so maybe he is right in that we haven't ignored that country.
