In an utter shock to  human rights  supporters , Obama did  not  grant an appointment with the Tibetan Buddhist leader Dalai Lama who is on a tour to US now. This is the first time  in about ten visits Dalai Lama  made to US so far , he is  unable to meet the Highest Office in the US.Notably Obama does not want to offend  the Chinese just prior to his immediate visit to that  country. Or has China’s recent show of nuclear capable intercontinental ballistic missile passed on the chill to Uncle Sam? This incident is a major blow to the values  championed by US , the so called custodian of world democracy and human rights ! To tide over   wide spread bankruptcy and  economic slow down Obama announced historic stimulus package. For such morale bankruptcy or miscarriage of will  to uphold the human rights what could be the stimulus package ? Obama seems to be too much into the act of balancing ,  is this the change he was advocating ? Only history will say.
