That was not gum - it was khat.
He doesn’t miss an opportunity to make America look bad.
If he was walking at the same time it’s a point in his favor.
It is all about contempt for America.
Maybe he’ll do this in Singapore and be sentenced to 60 lashes!
This guy is a juvenile jackass but I repeat myself.
Will be interesting to see how he behaves in Saudi Arabia. He chews gum for Christians and Hindus.
Pssh.
Now THIS. This is an Ungainly Sight...
Michelle Obama Has India Buzzing About Her Outfit
Obama still smokes like a chimney. Nobody is allowed to report it because he announced that he quit. The gum thing is his coping mechanism for when he can’t be seen smoking.

I agree. Nicotine gum because he can't smoke in public.
It was nicotine gum....Mooch is on the warpath I guess.
Is the White House is missing Drapes again ?
What? No infantile ‘selfie’ behavior?
Here’s how the liberal media will handle it, if they find it’s too big to just ignore:
1. First, suggest that people are inflating the issue beyond what it’s worth. “Right-wing media consider gum-chewing the biggest diplomatic gaffe of the last 50 years!”
2. Come up with some dig at Bush about how the “right ignored Bush starting illegal wars but goes nuts about Obama chewing gum!”

4. It’s possible that they will somehow construe that the act of mentioning Obama’s gum-chewing is racist.
The bizarre thing is that most Americans could probably agree that the gum-chewing was perceived a rude act in India and Obama should have refrained, but it’s not exactly an impeachable offense. A minor error is a minor error.
Drapes? I was thinking more like shower curtains.
or blowing bubbles.
Actually, Obama calls it miraa.
