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.

IF IT'S ONLY THOSE 4...THEY EACH GET 1/2 OF GRASSHOPPERS BALLS TO WEAR ON THEIR NECKLACE OR HEADGEAR....
They have to come out of the closet...Um talking Grasshoppers balls....
Hu’s who?
Or is that Who’s Hu?
Or perhaps Hu’s hu?
Or is it Hu’s new?
I think Barbara Streisand should take along walk off a short pier. She is among the vilest of the vile Hollyweird Elites.
Hu’s on first?
Who’s the musical entertainment? The Who? Are they going to sing “Hu Are You?”?
Good interview of Trump by Kudlow about China. Sez China does not respect, laughs at our leaders. Also, he pans the dinner.

I saw that live tonight. Trump was very good and gave the ChiComs no quarter.
Hu knows?
I guess Obama thinks he does, but my guess is Hu knows better.
Obama-Chan is not honorable Number One son..
I Don’t Know—Third Base!
They act like these people are normal.
That was a dismal list of low level Gov’t functionaries, Lib hacks and B list celebs. What a way to show off the United States. Fill a room full of losers for Hu to chat with. Looks like more evidence of the Obummer bloom off the rose.
I see all the losers were invited.
Interesting that Chris Christie made the invite list.
If you must post pics of Kathy Gifford, courtesy dictates you include a barf alert.
Ooops!
Correction - Kathy Griffin!
(had Gifford on the mind from a TV sighting today)
How many great minds can you put in a room. If Cher and her 8th grade education were there we would have a meltdown.
Forget about them. The world is waiting to see what lovely frock (haha) is enveloping MO.
