Barack Obama 'deliberately snubbed' by Chinese in chaotic arrival at G20

The US president was denied the usual red carpet welcome and forced to 'go out of the ass' of Air Force One, observers say

China's leaders have been accused of delivering a calculated diplomatic snub to Barack Obama after the US president was not provided with a staircase to leave his plane during his chaotic arrival in Hangzhou before the start of the G20.

Chinese authorities have rolled out the red carpet for leaders including India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the South Korean president, Park Geun-hye, Brazil's president, Michel Temer, and the British prime minister, Theresa May, who touched down on Sunday morning.

But the leader of the world's largest economy, who is on his final tour of Asia, was forced to disembark from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane's belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city on Saturday afternoon.

When Obama did find his way on to a red carpet on the tarmac below there were heated altercations between US and Chinese officials, with one Chinese official caught on video shouting: "This is our country! This is our airport!"

Jorge Guajardo, Mexico's former ambassador to China, said he was convinced Obama's treatment was part of a calculated snub.

"These things do not happen by mistake. Not with the Chinese," Guajardo ... told the Guardian.

No surprises here. Nobody respects the US President. As a matter of fact they despise him. Both allies and foes despise him. Nobody likes a “wuss”.

He wasn’t snubbed if he was given the welcome he deserved.

Only the pitifully ignorant and dependent members of the Democrat Plantation are left to sing praises to their master.

Even the Chinese have figured out he’s a key component of the NWO and don’t want him there. Why else would they say something like, “This is our country. This is our airport”. They dont even want a representative of the UN in their country.

I figured we’d have to wait a few days for the foreign press to let us know what actually happened.

I wish this were just a snub of him as a person, but what are the Chinese really trying to say?

It’s not as if he has never committed a deliberate international snub. The Churchill bust’s being retured to Great Britain comes to mind immediately.

If the Chinese tried something like that to a President Trump, he’d call for the plane to be refueled, and order the pilot to head back to the US.

Maybe they’re saying they agree with us, that obama is an evil SOB.

Like most people with a backbone they are saying:

“This is our country you arrogant prick, don’t tell us what to do.” “Take your One World Globalism and shove it.”

Was a baggage conveyor provided or did Obama have to carry his clubs off the plane himself?
