Obama Snubbed as Xi, Putin Stay at Chinese Owned Waldorf

This is a very important story and shows how China and Russia are increasingly close and strong allies who are flexing their muscles and asserting themselves as rival superpowers to the U.S. 

The Chinese are very aware of the importance of symbolism and this appears to be a subtle show of allied force and underlines the strength of their deepening alliance with Russia.

[Excerpt]

Chinese President Xi Jinping leaves the White House, where he discussed the theft of commercial secrets, and heads to New York to check in tonight at the Waldorf Astoria, where his privacy is sure to be guaranteed by the hotel’s new Chinese owners.

On Sunday, Xi will be joined by Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who also picked the Waldorf for his first stay in Manhattan in a decade, according to diplomats preparing for the Eurasian leaders’ address to the annual seven-day session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Are Putin and Xi supposed to stay someplace else in Manhattan?  I don't see any significance at all to this story.  What's wrong with the Waldorf?  Sure, the Chinese own it now.  So naturally that's where they'd stay.  I don't get it.

Anyone can see Putin is scrambling to kiss Obama's feet.

As far as I know, Putin did not stay in any hotel, but came with his presidential plane in the morning, and left in the evening.

He preferred to minimize the time spent in the US. Maybe he feared something.

And who was responsible for driving China and Russia together as allies with his dollar policies(via the Fed), his Big Syrian War Mistake, ISIS, Ukraine War Interference(by the CIA), NSA Worldwide snooping, etc ?

Obama.

Alot of governments including many other western governments hate the President now. There's really no question about that.

Feel proud.

I think Lame Duck Obama had something to do with this snubbing..from my inside congressional sources I learned that the President initially wanted the Chinaman and Russian Bear to stay at a 5 star residence.

But when John Boehner resigned as Speaker of the House..well all bets off on a federal government funding resolution with Congress. So Mr. Lame Duck has ordered all federal agencies to save their nickels and dimes... It was too embarassing for Mr Lame Duck to take care of Chinaman and Russian Bear at a 5 star residence and have the American public go hungry because there was no money for food stamps. 

Bottom line...it was the Republicans that caused this snubbing. They planned all along to have John Boehner resign and embarass the President. Shame on them...and now..you know the rest of the story.

He's probably right.  Because psychopaths want to win.  And it doesn't matter what happens to the country.  It only matters what happens for their careers and their bottom lines.

There is no liberal/conservative agenda.  There is only one party of the elite.  And they're all vying for the top of that ladder.

This country is pathetic.

Nothing too significant about this...just a minor bitch slap cause the US started the fiasco concerning the Waldorff. After the Chinese bought it last year, the STATE DEPT announced they would no longer have meetings there or house guests there because of the fear of eavesdropping. How ironic the STATE DEPT didn't show the same level of precaution about Hillbillies private email server.

From the first paragraph of the article, "shows how China and Russia are increasingly close and strong allies who are flexing their muscles and asserting themselves as rival superpowers to the U.S."

OMG!!!  Rival superpowers!!! That means only one thing, we must go to WAR and show them there is only ONE SUPERPOWER!!!  FUCK THESE PROPAGANDA ARTICLES!

I'd snub that Muslim traitorous bastard too and guess what?   I'm not a superpower.

Sorry, but I fail to see how Abama was 'snubbed'. Sure, it was a signal of closer Chinese and Russian cooperation but how does this mean Obama was snubbed?  Inquiring minds want to know.

From what I read below, you are not the only one.  With a little extra reading, you and all the others would have found that when it became time for Obozo to give his speach at the UN after Putin, Xi and I believe the Iranian diplomat gave theirs ... these three were absent from the UN floor and their seats were empty for Obozo's speach.

More of a middle finger rather than a snub if you ask me.

The Chinese owned Waldorf is probably the only place they can stay without having to worry about the NSA listening in. You can bet that there are special floors and rooms that are constructed to isolate any electronic leakage, and are swept several times each day.

They own the Port of LA, the Port of San Diego , the Port of Seattle and about a dozen or so other within the US.  They own 1 Chase Plaza, the former JP Morgan HQ that has a direct underground tunnel that leads to the FED's trading desk in NYC...and it goes on.  Remember the Borrower is SLAVE to the Lender; so it is written.

150 years ago the Chinaman was laboring on our railroad expansion and doing the cowboys' laundry.

1 year ago they bought the Waldorf for two billion US dollars.

Game, set, match.

Clint Eastwood, Peter Uberroth, Arnold Palmer, Richard Ferris, GE Pension and one other ended up buying Pebble.  I think they created a trust so it could never be sold again. 

The Chinese also bought the JP Morgan bank building next to the NY Fed were they rehypothicate the gold in the basement connecting their vaults via a little track.  My guess is all the gold was already gone.

Like you said 150 years ago the chinaman worked for the cowboys (whiteman), 1 year ago they bought the Waldorf from the white man and snubbed the black man.  If Obama is not the president of the US, the chinaman will not even shake hand with him not along allow him to talk to a china woman.  Do you know how they treat a black man in China?
