In Surprise Meeting, China’s President Greets Michelle Obama
ABC News ^ | March 21, 2014 | by Ann Compton

First Lady Michelle Obama received an unscheduled greeting today from the President of China at the end of her first full day in the country, a place which President Obama has said he wants to “rebalance” US foreign policy.

But the first lady is not engaging in any formal talks on issues such as human rights or global politics. Her trip to China is purely for cultural reasons.

President Xi Jinping welcomed the first lady and disclosed he had spoken to President Obama by phone a few days ago and confirmed the two presidents are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting next week in Europe. “I cherish my sound working relationship and personal friendship I have already established with your husband, and we stay in close touch through meetings, phone conversations and correspondence,” President Xi Jinping said.

You can watch the First Lady try her hand at ping pong in a video produced by the White House:

Maybe he should send his old lady in to deal with Putin too. He can easily hide under her apron.

“Her trip to China is purely for cultural reasons.” Horse XXXX. Another cover story concocted by the government run media to cover for the excesses of this king and queen. Millions of dollars for a spring fling for Michelle, her daughters and mother.

I didn’t realize that one could just “drop in” unannounced on the President of China. What a coincidence that his schedule was clear and his wife happened to be on hand for the occasion. /s

“Obama has said he wants to “rebalance” US foreign policy.’

“Rebalancing” should work much better that “resetting”, because, well it’s a more advanced form of re-ing relations.

I notice they had Michelle stand further away from the camera so she doesn’t look like a giant.

I think the schedule was for Michelle to meet with “wife” .. not her husband.

He was made available because .........?????

Is he trying to find out something .. or tell something ..??

He had a break in the action from watching the NCAA tournament and monitoring his bracket? Oh, wait.... :-)

Is she over there to:

Kiss mao's deteriorating butt;

Arrange for political asylum;

or collect "campaign contributions" (in exchange for US secrets) like comrade bubba klinton?

Xi Jinping let his curiosity get the better of him. He had never seen an American plow mule in real life. Besides, he didn’t want his wife to be alone around a dumb animal.
