The guy is an embarrassing twit wherever he goes. Has he no one on his staff who can advise him on proper protocol while visiting foreign countries? Or is it as he once bragged, "“I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors."?
"Barack Obama's behaviour at an important summit in Beijing has enraged Chinese internet users - because he was seen chewing gum.
The U.S. President, a known user of Nicorette, a gum used to stop smoking cravings, was seen chomping away at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) after emerging from his limousine at the Water Cube, the Olympic swimming venue, while traditional dancers performed around him.
Chinese Internet users, used to far greater levels of formality from their leaders, branded him an 'idler' and a 'rapper'.
Yin Hong, a professor of journalism at Beijing's Tsinghua University, took to the Sina Weibo micro-blog service to voice his disapproval, reports USA Today.
He said: 'We made this meeting so luxurious, with singing and dancing, but see Obama, stepping out of his car chewing gum like an idler.'"
Oh, for a return to yesterday when Obama proclaimed, "“I Would Like To Think That With My Election…You’re Starting To See Some Restoration Of America's Standing In The World.”
Actually we would all like to see that, Barack baby, but instead we got you.
The two basic truths of Life: There is a God. He isn't me.
