Sorry, the battery's dead in my hearing aid.

So at yesterday's press conference, a reporter asked China's president Hu Jintao about its abysmal human rights record.
But he, umm, couldn't hear the question, or something.
Perhaps because the follow-up might have been:
So the American people may understand, sir, our President Obama, who was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner, is feting you, you who condemned the 2010 Nobel winner to prison?
China's state-run media apparently blacked out that illusory "human rights" exchange.
Which leads me to ask why the query wasn't put Obama, such a young and virile man.
Nah. Too rhetorical.
