Obama's White House State Dinner to boast 'Who's Who' list including Jackie Chan, Barbra Streisand

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.

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.

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.

Hu knows?

I guess Obama thinks he does, but my guess is Hu knows better.

Chan should have gone all Zoolander on His Tyrantship.

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.

Must be Jackie Mason's and Ted Nugent's invitations were lost in the Federal mail.

If you must post pics of Kathy Gifford, courtesy dictates you include a barf alert.

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.
