I can't read the Twitter jokes, but here's a couple of good extracts from this article.
Jake Tapper: “forget the Falun Gong, Tibet and Liu Xiaobo….WE GOTZ PANDAS FOR 5 MORE YEARZ ZOMG.”
“The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner holds a State Dinner for a man who has the 2010 winner under House Arrest.”
Apparently Hu claimed that a question about human rights was lost in translation...|||Insult to injury...

Chinese Pianist Plays Propaganda Tune at White House
US humiliated in eyes of Chinese by song used to inspire anti-Americanism|||I see the insult, I still don't see the injury (referring, of course, to why this thread sank to the second page without any comments).
The song choice though....that's just low. I dare any of the "lol arrogant American" crowd that hangs around here to claim that any American artist would do the same were they invited to play in China.|||Embarrassing!
On a side note, is Obama the weakest president in the history?
Surely, conservative couldn't ask for a better Democrat.
Just saying...|||Quote:

Absolutely not. Not even close. Harrison only served 32 days in office. He hardly got ANYTHING done. Talk about weak.
Oh sorry, was this just a "lol obama sux" thread?

Oh, so you're oblivious to the national debt?

Silly person, everyone knows that only conservative Americans are racist/arrogant/violent.

Hardly; I just trot these out to remind the vast majority of the OTF what their god-hero is doing. There's a painful truth about the various "banker" quips one hears regarding China, but the fact of the matter is that just because they hold so much U.S. debt doesn't mean they're in a sound fiscal position.
We have a symbiotic relationship with the Yellow Peril, for the nonce. However, they're trying to wean themselves off of it, while we're... getting Panda-ed.|||Quote:

But the Chinese would never invite the kind of 鬼子 artist who'd do such a thing. For once I actually agree, even though you probably mean me when you say "lol America crowd", that's an outright rude choice of song.|||Apparently, the White House apparently defends the song was completely acceptable and not an insult.
Some wit posted this in response -

Because if you don't act as a super-biased echo chamber, who will?
/yawn
Time to read better threads.|||National debt?
You mean the thing that cranked up badly during the Bush W administration?
