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.

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.

Believe it or not, Snooki isn't a fan of Obama! Joke aside, it is somewhat startling that she was aware of the 10% tanning tax in the ObamaCare bill.

"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?
