two consecutive paragraphs:

"Some observers say President Barack Obama may have revealed his true feelings on the pivot at a presidential debate Monday with his Republican rival, Mitt Romney.  During an extended segment dedicated to 'The Rise of China and Tomorrow's World,' Obama took the unusual step of referring to China as an adversary.

"'China is both an adversary, but also a potential partner in the international community if it is following the rules,' said President Obama. Some observers viewed the comment as unusually harsh language coming from a president who has overseen a policy of diplomatic engagement with China since coming to office four years ago")

Note: The Italian and Spanish surname Gallo means rooster in both languages (from Latin gallus).
