Talk about a high level language exchange. President Barack Obama's nine-year-old daughter, Sasha, wanted to test her developing Chinese skills this week while Hu Jintao was in town. Just whom did she want to practice them with? The Chinese president himself, according to a White House official who recounted the story on Thursday after a formal state dinner the previous night. "The president pointed out last night at the state dinner that his daughter, Sasha, is a very young girl but her class is studying Chinese," Ben Rhodes, a White House deputy national security adviser, told a video conference with Chinese bloggers.

"I think we're turning Red Chinese; I think we're turning Red Chinese; I really think so..."
Hu: Dui. Zhongguo ren zhidao.
Translated:
Sasha: Mr. Hu. My father is a moron. Is that right ?
Hu: That is right. The Chinese people know.
Correctamundo! Mandarin is the most common by far. I know an old Chinese lady who speaks a language that none of the other Chinese around here speak. Her daughters have to translate everything for her.
BTW, Hu, with the correct inflection, means Tiger. I have a tiger cat named Xiao Hu.
“Sasha’s ... Chinese”
Big deal. Can she spin plates on sticks?
I didn’t think so.
My first thought upon reading the ridiculous headline. Idiots.
In this picture at least, she is holding an American flag.

Thank you Thank you!.....I need to replace another keyboard with sprayed coffee all over it!....LMAO!
I love olde time comedy!
Sasha: “President Hu, can you teach me to say ‘I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords.’”
Hu: “Of course, my dear.” To Obama: “what a delightful child.”
Hu are you?
Is practicing "Chinese" like practicing "European"?
What does she know that we don’t?
He probably sold her to Hu as a concubine!
My granddaughters are in grades 6 and 3 in Arizona. They both have Chinese language classes. (Public School)
Why wasn't Michelle at this affair??
We sure have gotten off the beaten path of the 3R’s
Had enough of the DC elites yet?
