When I had a chance, I took a look at some of the beautiful rooms in the White House; I was so excited just to be there. When I looked around, I could feel all the history of the place and I felt like I was having flashbacks into history just by being in these rooms. It was thrilling!

When I met President Obama, he shook my hand and told me that he was a big fan of mine. Wow! This made me feel so humbled and honored. I was practically speechless and just mumbled to him that it was an honor to meet him. He told me that I was very popular with children in the United States and of course I was very happy to hear him say that.

Can you believe that I met four presidents in one night? I met President Obama, President Hu Jintao, former President Clinton, and former President Jimmy Carter. When I met President Clinton, he grabbed my hand and brought me over to meet his wife, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Mrs. Clinton told me that her husband was a big fan of mine and that he loved to talk about me. This made me smile from ear to ear. I felt so honored.

Although I have seen President Hu Jintao at events in China such as the Olympics, this was the first time that I ever had a chance to talk to him privately. While I was talking to him, President Obama came over to the table and said, "You know, Jackie Chan is very famous here in the States" and President Hu Jintao replied, "He's more famous in China!" Ha ha ha!

When I met President Obama, he shook my hand and told me that he was a big fan of mine... Mrs. Clinton told me that her husband was a big fan of mine and that he loved to talk about me.

I like Eric Clapner!

Yeah, they're all at the top of my can't wait to meet list, too.

Not.

Seeing as how they were Hu, Carter, Clinton and Zero....you still didn't meet one....

Yuk, Yuk, Yuk.....

Foolish little idiot. He met 4 of the biggest wind bag criminals ever to walk the face of the earth and he’s thrilled? Turd should know something about socialism considering his ancestry.

Who kidnapped Jackie Chan and replaced him with a thirteen-year-old girl?

[RingerSIX]

This thread is ripe for some Chuck Norris action!

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Jackie Chan to an audience of business leaders on Hainan island.

‘I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not...
I’m really confused now. If you’re too free,
you’re like the way Hong Kong is now. It’s very chaotic.
Taiwan is also chaotic... I’m gradually beginning
to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled.
If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.’

He is among friends.

Pablo Francisco does a Jackie Chan impression.

Hey Jackie, Whas Up Tiger Lilly?

This is a Chinese actor, that has come to America - and through hard work and sheer determination, has acquired fame and fortune. Personally, there are very few people who have seen Jackie Chan in action, and have not been impressed with his amazing athletic skills, his acrobatic moves are simply amazing. He has realized the American dream.

But, what jumps out to me, in reading this article - is how humble he is. I applaud Jackie Chan, I might not agree with his politics; but his behavior embodies that of a Gentleman, a man of honor - and someone I admire.

[ReneeLynn]

Jackie doesn’t follow politics. Of course he’s going to be excited about this. Give him a break. Except that he is very rah, rah for the Mainland even though some in HK don’t like it. And Taiwan.

[Cicero]

I’m just going to plug my ears, because I like the movies.

[The Comedian]

Chuck Norris wouldn't have expressed this slobbering school-girl crush business. He would have beaten all the commies into submission and then assumed the office of President.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[ReneeLynn]

Exactly.
