who is more blind: Chinese dissident Chen or Obama?

Our story so far:

Chen Guangcheng is a blind lawyer, and civil-rights-rights-activist-thorn-in-the-side whom the Chinese Communist Party hates viscerally. He finished a long prison sentence and was under house arrest in Dongshigu Village. One fine day, he enters the American Embassy in Peking, 370 miles away.

Wait a second, he is blind: is there an underground railroad like the Civil War? How did he escape the ring of evil Chinese constables surrounding his residence? Did an embassy employee drive him there? Did he ask for asylum? Why did not Hillary and/or Barack grant it? Why was he whisked away to a 'hospital' under Party control (read: mental asylum where he will surely be brain)?

My initial reaction was to accuse our faithful leader of again making obeisance to a foreign leader, i.e. this time bowing to his evil Chinese Communist Bankers.

However, it may be much worse (or just plain stupidity coming from the Oval Office). I herewith speculate. Surely the authorities would prefer to have Chen be granted asylum, leaving his wife and 6 year old daughter behind. He cannot catalyze freedom and liberty in evil Communist China by sitting in an apartment in Venice Beach; better, he is still under Central Party control, since they have his family under arrest. Surely Chen realized this, so why would he ask for asylum? Did he also wish to have his family accompany him? Surely everyone understood that evil Chinese Communist promises of keeping him safe and not killing him was written in sand? That a 'hospital' is tantamount to permitting torture or death? Why did Chen, putting himself at great risk, agree to be turned back over to the authorities and walk out of the American Embassy to an even worse fate than before the whole affair began? Or perhaps the explanation is more simple, and the Obama administration simply fumbled the ball? Are they that naive? Let me be paranoid for a moment: Chen shows up at the embassy, and is an unwelcomed guest who will spoil the party, so State Department employees refuse asylum and return Chen back over to the evil Chinese Communist authorities, hoping to sweep the whole inconvenient affair under the rug, in order to clear the decks for the upcoming diplomatic whoop-te-doo. 

Then, in the past few hours, we discover that Chen makes a cell phone call from his 'hospital room' that he wants to leave evil Communist China in Hillary Clinton's Secretary-of-State-Jumbo-Boeing-Jetliner. We then find out that his child was deprived of food, his wife was tied to a chair and tortured, and that Chen also fears for the safety of his brother, nephew, and mother. Did the American Embassy plot the escape of Chen, only to discover that their carefully laid out plans had not been thoroughly thought through?

Who knows? Stay tuned, folks; this is just starting to get good.
