Dalai Lama's word game

According to the White House, US President Barack Obama met with the Dalai Lama on Friday and expressed his support for the monk's "middle way" approach.

What on earth is this "middle way"?

The Dalai Lama clique claims the "middle way" is nothing more than "a high degree of autonomy" over a proposed "Greater Tibet" and is within the framework of China's Constitution.
