More Humiliation: China Furious At "Disrespectful" Nicorette-Chewing Obama
Zero Hedge ^ | 11/12/2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/12/2014 9:14:19 PM PST by GilGil

"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."

At least he doesn’t tolerate live birth abortions. Sheesh. Oh, . . . wait.

Can't agree with you more! Many here find it humorous or don't care what the Chinese think, but America has until his clown been a world class leader. Now it is an embarrassment to have this idiot on a stage with dignified leaders. Even relatively classless people don't go to the “home” of others and act in ways that even might offend. If China stops bolstering this economy or demands repayment, the humor will stop.

Over gum, yes. I am an attorney; I’ve had jurors tell me they didn’t believe a witness because they were chewing gum on the witness stand. I guess its a sign of lack of respect and decorum. I would never chew gum in any sort of formal or business setting.

Dear China,
We apologize on Obama’s behalf, but he was not properly brought up. Since your culture is so much older than ours, we really feel that you could go a long way toward teaching him better social skills. So could you please keep him there for several years and put him through some training. The Mao Re-Education Suite would be a great place.

Sincerely,
USA

The old liberals like the Kennedys and the Rockefellers could go overseas and mix well with the heads of State. The Obama people are like Beavis and Butthead at the opera.

Maybe there’s a link between being married to Michelle and smoking.

There are many parallels between the Carter and Soetoro administrations. Really, there are 2 ‘branches’ of the dem party, those born into wealth and those not. The later branch is basically red necks in suits who were never taught manners and have no class....or intelligence.

The Chinese and Russians are probably breathing a sigh of relief. They need fear no nation which selects such an imbecile as its leader. And they know that such a leader will select more imbeciles.

That and they’re all extreme security risks - easy to pump and blackmail. Heck, some dont even need to be pumped.

Aside from the cultural insult, Nicorette gum is not meant to be chomped like Wrigley's Spearmint. The contact of nicotine polyacrylate with the gum and its blood vessels is the way nicotine is delivered, not through the saliva.

The gum is first masticated briefly to make it pliable, then lain alongside the gum to continuously contact the gum tissue, so the nicotine can transfer across the interface directly into the blood, but at a much slower rate than from tobacco smoke particles in one's greater lung surface area.

This oral method of delivery permits a much better personal control of the peak blood nicotine concentration needed to alleviate withdrawal anxiety. This system permits self-administration without the constant overdosing imparted by smoke inhalation.

Nicotine is a poison that nauseates, that the body rejects, and which the body will demand less and less of when the dosage is limited to only that amount that relieves withdrawal anxiety that was caused by deliberate overdosing. In the end, replacing inhalation intake of nicotine by instead using this method of oral nicotine absorption will help terminate a compelling desire for an ongoing residual level of the poison.

The body's reaction by rejecting the poison is, in fact, exactly opposite to the addictive reaction that is induced by cocaine or heroin, and thus nicotine should not be spoken of as being addictive.

Please note that constant chewing of the gum defeats the intent of the desired transfer mechanics of the oral delivery mode. Most certainly, intermittently administering nicotine by smoking whilst also chewing the nicotine gum will not bring relief from the craving induced by overdosing, and hence will not cause one to willingly reject the habit of self-overdosing.

If Obama is continually chomping the gum rather than using it quiescently in the preferred oral mode, he will demonstrate not only ignorance of both medical and social use of the cessation aid, but also lack of control over self-defeating habits.

(Written by a 35-year habitual smoker until 1990, when properly administering nicotine by Nicorette gum alone for about 6 months resulted in permanent 100% cessation from nicotine for the next 24 years.)

For someone that was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia, Obama has the least understanding of cultural differences of any one I have ever seen. That guy literally has no clue how to act around people from different countries.

I’m sure you were saying ‘a disaster in America’.

Yes, I meant that but was being sarcastic to the poster who said the following as if 26 months is no big deal:

“Anyway he will be gone in 26 months”.

Yeah, the next 26 months are going to be a blast.
