WASHINGTON - Chinese President Hu Jintao scored the full-hoopla treatment at the White House on Wednesday, a tribute to his country's growing global clout.
President Obama rolled out the literal red carpet for a critical if uncertain strategic partner, not to mention one of America's largest bondholders.
A full pomp-and-circumstance arrival ceremony on the South Lawn launched a day of talks capped by a rarity in the Obama years - a glittering state dinner Hu didn't rate on his 2006 visit during the Bush administration.
In between all the Bigtime Visitor spectacle, Obama and Hu hashed over ways to expand exports - and create jobs - for their respective countries and explored common ground on North Korea, Iran and other world hotspots.
They both resorted to the standard "candid," "pragmatic," "constructive" and "frank" diplospeak to signal that there was plenty of discussion over sore spots in the relationship.

Bababra Streisand. First Omar Sharif and now Barak Hussein.
NOT JACKIE CHAN!
Oh, please NO!!!!
What will Snooki, Rosie, Michael Moore and Louis Farrakhan wear?
Auuuuuggggh!!!!!!!!!!
That’s my Charlie Brown response.
Who’s Hu?
Didn’t you see “The Karate Kid”?
Jackie is openly promoting China.
I love Jackie. I’d rather watch “Drunken Master” than most other movies, but his politics are all about his bottom line.
Good interview of Trump by Kudlow about China. Sez China does not respect, laughs at our leaders. Also, he pans the dinner.

The only full list I could find: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/19/china-state-dinner-guest-_n_811278.html
Very unimpressive. I doubt Hu buys more than 3 Volts.
You would think that Chan would have a clue, but he’s a flaming liberal too.
Hu’s on first.
Hilarious Taiwanese animation of Hu’s visit:

Shouldn’t Hanoi Jane be at the top of the list?
Yeah, Jackie’s sold out to the commies.
"I don't go tanning, tanning anymore. Because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. And I feel like he did that intentionally for us. McCain would never put a tax on tanning."
— Snooki holds President Obama personally responsible for not going tanning anymore in the first 10 minutes of Jersey Shore's season two, which debuted at the MTV Movie Awards last night, although the show's not back until July 29
I’d bet Hu will wish BarBra is the way she was.
Same old, same old. Didn’t The Won run on something about “Hope & Change”? So why is he using BJ Clinton’s Little Black Book of Hollywood Leftists for his state dinner invites?
