More Humiliation: China Furious At "Disrespectful" Nicorette-Chewing Obama

Tyler Durden's picture




 

"The chew seen around the world," as President Obama chomped on Nicorette gum during the recent APEC summit ceremonies, has sparked outrage in China, describing his behavior as "rude" and "inappropriate."

 

*  *  *

Not the first time...

 

Relegated...

 

 

Which all explains this...

While we are sure Khin Khin Win, wife of Myanmar President Thein Sein, is a wonderfully entertaining host, we suspect President Obama was not expecting - once again - to be relegated to the 'old wives club'...

I watched Obama get out of the limousine chomping on his gum while he proceeded to do his "pimp walk" down the  red carpet.  Truly embarrassing for Americans.

Listen.

It's not the gum or the patch that's the issue. It's the display of weakness.

Strong people wake up one day and cold turkey the cigs. Bam, done, never again.

Weak people not so much.

Obama, weak, hesitant, uncertain, frail, controlled by tobacco.

Get off the porch, it's for "BIG" dogs.

If Barry's chewing, then I think we can conclude that the gum is significantly safer than the patch, despite what official studies may indicate. Or maybe our President has a particularly strong need to have something in his mouth that the gum or even a lit fag won't really satisfy.

Seems our asian "partners" can sniff out an imposter. We have Obama as a result of the Bush factor. Otherwise intelligent people I work with voted for Obama because they hated Bush and wanted a "change". Kinda like how the Republicans did well in our last election. I can't blame anyone because I did it myself. I was so anxious to vote out one of our Demo state senators I voted for a Republican I knew nothing about until my wife told me the slime-ball I voted for was worse than the incumbent slime-ball.

O'Bummer was a bit weird in terms of chewing gum on international

television, but O'Bummer is a hip dude and he happens to be the President

of the USA. I thought it showed a certain degree of low class upbringing

somewhere along the line. Clearly, the USA and China are at odds and perhaps O'Bummer was attempting to look cool and relaxed as he mugged for the camera lens? Posturing was what O'Bummer was hired for so it may be that he was told to chew gum and act like a punker, we don't really know. I know from experience that one needs to chew gum before speaking in public. Everyone I know in politics always chews gum before

getting on stage and speaking to a crowd. Perhaps O'Bummer just forgot to stop chewing when the camera was on him? Other than the gum chewing O'Bummer usually acts fairly normal IMHO. He is certainly not the outright embarrassment that Bush Jr. was. O'Bummer is a lawyer and tends to act appropriately in most settings.

This little tidbit alone telegraphs reams of information about both Obama and the Chinese, perhaps more than what they say.

 

 

1. Says that Obama is out of touch. Prez has teams of professional protocol experts to keep him from doing stupid shit like this. Where the fuck are they???

2. Says the Chinese don't give a fuck about Obama and America. By allowing such releases of state propaganda they are openly telegraphing hostility.

3. Our recent election says that Obama's got a lotta 'tude, and is out of touch with American people. Gum confirms we're stuck with Lil' Jay-Z in WH for 2 years.

Very interesting two-step at this Apec meeting. Your President was sidelined, but then sat comfortably with the host Premier Xi at the other ritual events. Yes, he was not given face in one photo event and the Chinese press made much about the gum (having a laugh).

However, a bigger and more serious faux pas was when Mr Putin laid his hands on Mrs Xi to give her a blanket. She let it fall and her aids gave her a coat. The Weibo etc went wild with comments, after all he divorced his wife and is now single. The censors scubbed any mention of this or photos of this break in protocal and the prevailing ethics. Mr Putin is not ready for primetime or is so desperate to appear as a 'close' friend of the Premier he definitely overstepped the line.

When he arrived in China he gave Premier Xi a couple of the Yota2 dual screen phones (all the better to track you my dear). Xi quipped that 'we' should do a trade deal on this ( re-engineer and let us spy on you). An added ritual coup , just to make Abe feel comfortable in the meeting room a large calligraphy scroll was  the 'Ode to Diaoyudao' i.e. the Senkaku islands.

Dunno. Watched family try to kick the nicotine habit via that gum. Wasn't pretty. Ten years into his project - he was hooked on the gum :( It appears that once those drugs sink their teeth into you...it's just over. Many better people than Obama have tried to shake that stuff - and failed.

Perhaps this *one* time "rest of us" (Chinese and American) just need to shut up? Plenty of gubmint butt sniffers out there....we don't need to extend it to the neighborhood. *His* business - not ours.

Throw all the bricks you wish when *he* tries to force us to conform........Obama fully deserves the other abuse directed at him.
