#1 Thanks for the warning, Lang Lang.

We can only wait and hope that Obean figures it out.

#2 It seems there is a competition between the world's tyrants to see who can humiliate the lightweight Obama administration in the most outrageous way. And as long as it doesn't hurt his domestic poll ratings (after all, it's not like the MSM will report it), Obama doesn't care.

#3 "it's a song about General Tso's Chicken - you'll love it"
"can you get more veggie's into the tune? M'chelle would like that"
"Of course, sir. I'm sure you'll like it"
"Good time to step out for a smoke, I'm sure"

#4 The slight was intentional and intended for domestic Chinese audiences, allowing them to show their national pride and dominance by insulting the Americans in our very leaders house.
To do that is a very arrogant statement.... and shows utterly no fear of consequence.

#5 Yup, a slap in the face. Insulting ignorant barbarians to their face without them even knowing they're being insulted. Very Chinese, excellent job. A cheap victory, but a victory nonetheless. Gives confidence that further victories may yet be won.

#6 Oh, nice:

If, in retrospect, My Motherland might seem to be a regrettable choice for a state dinner, it clearly was unintentional.
