I'm an established American artist with work in collections around the world. Where's my invitation?
Where's your contribution to either of these two countries?
So are many, what makes you so special?
You're not in the "in" crowd. The American taxpayers fund only events for the rich and well-connected, not us common folk.
I keep trying to think of a joke that starts with Jackie Chan, Herbie Hancock, a couple famous violin players, 50 politicians and the head of Coca Cola walking into a bar ...
punchline might go something like this..."Is that your wife in that nice blue dress?"
Jackie Chan, Herbie Hancock, a couple famous violin players, 50 politicians and the head of Coca Cola walking into a bar.
Jackie Chan says. "I'll have a round for my esteemed colleagues. Could you show me where the washroom is." So the bartender says "It's down at the end of the hall, to your right." "Not so fast, Larry Craig."
It seems I was not invited. Shame because I like sushi.
I think you need to FIRST know that sushi is Japanese not Chinese, second the dinner was an all-American feast at the request of the Chinese guests.
detect sarcasm much?
Lloyd Blancfein on the list? The Goldman Sachs CEO made it to the list? You must be kidding. Looks like Obama is all talk and no action. WHy would he invite a crook and his wife into this? Obama is a brainless idiot and a crook. I am sure Lloyd and his other cronies like Geithnet, Bernanke, Greenspan,Kissinger are all in this list of crooks.
The real surprise is Chris Christie, the Governor of NJ! That made me laugh out loud.
Maybe the Administration is hoping that Loyd will do for China what he's done for America. Siphon off as much money as he can into non productive uses. 😉
This is the dumbest comment I've read in weeks. How old are you?
Watch out- the Salahis might sneak in.
The Salahis told the WH that they regret they had the flu but were in fact able to hang with Boehner tonight to watch American Idol's debut.
They had to turn it down but were, in fact, able to hang with Boehner tonight to watch American Idol's debut.
I see the TARP loans were for "hook a brother up"
I've heard comments made about PRESIDENT HU of CHINA being a dictator. He's still a HEAD of STATE; He's still a president! He still deserves his pomp and circumstance! And since we owe them 'an arm and a leg', thanks to BUSH and CHENEY, for all of that 'warring', I feel that's all the more reason PRESIDENT OBAMA and the WHITEHOUSE is doing the right thing in hosting a STATE DINNER tonight. It's a show of acknowledgement, respect, courtesy and willingness to work through diplomacy to reach common goals.
You're such an idiot Liz
Actually you appear to be the idiot!!!!!
you have really displayed the arrogance and disrespectful manner of a hater you are,no need to call someone out of there name because you disagree with there point of view.
You're a moron.
Well Said Liz.
Like it or not....its the way that it is.
Total National Debt
Jan 20, 2000 $ 5.7 trillion
Jan 20, 2008 $ 9.2 trillion
Jan 19, 2011 $14.0 trillion
In 8 years President Bush added $ 3.5 trillion.
In 2 years Barry added $ 4.8 trillion.
The Chinese hold about $800 billion of our debt or 5.8% To put that in perspective US based insurance companies hold 4%. Do you know who is the largest holder of national debt? The Federal government at about 50%. It is in massive savings accounts used to pay for Social Security, unemployment, and other entitlements.
Figures according to treasurydirect.gov
Any economist, er, anyone that knows anything about the economy, would tell you that like in physics, an object that is set in motion, stays in motion. When it comes to the debt, there's only one set of cronies to blame, and it certainly isn't the current administration. Is the current administration doing enough to help? That's another debate. But stating numbers with no reference to anything but a date doesn't prove point one.
Don't forget that Huge bailout started on Bushes clock and Obama had no choice to implement it. So some of that is shared.
You're leaving out the entire year of 2008, on December 31, 2008 the debt was 10.7 trillion putting Bush's total at 5 trillion. http://nationaldebtbusters.blogspot.com/2009/01/newest-national-debt-statistics-posted.html here's the link. Plus Bush had a good economy for most of his term, the debt should go up now it will go down later.
Nathan, sorry is see what you are talking about, I was just thinking that he was elected in that year but the term started on 2009, Also the same for President Bush. Here is my correction. Let me know if you see any thing wrong. All the numbers come from http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=np
Jan 20, 2001 5.7 trillion. Bush took office.
Jan 20, 2009 10. 6 trillion. Bush left office.
Jan 19, 2011 14.0 trillion. Today.
Bush $ 4.9 trillion in 8 years.
Barry $ 3.4 trillion in 2 years.
Ostifara, if the current administration is not to blame then the same could be said for President Bush. He started with a $ 5.7 trillion dollar debt and as you say was already in motion. It is also interesting that Barry is praised for spending money to fix the economy but Bush is vilified doing the same thing. Some how President Bush should have know that the economy was as bad as it was, yet Barry and others did not know. I think there is a big double standard going on.
Why not start inJan 20, 1980 National debt ~990 Billion Jan 20, 1988 ~ 1.8 Trillion, 1992 ~ 4 Trillion. Previous 206 years less than 1 Trillion last 30 years 13 Trillion of that 30 years Reps added about 7 trillion Dems added about the same. BUT keep in mind comparing Obama's deficits isn't exactly correct because while each president passes 4 budget cycles The first 9 months of a presidency is under the budget passed by the previous administration. Given that the economy was in the toilet when he took office and the budget was a mess (little things like the wars were NOT on the budget they are now) I say he is doing an adequate job under the circumstances.
Jay in NC, Bush is vilified for the economy because he took a big budget surplus (the first in a long time , two years in a row) and turned into a record deficit in 1 year. One thing that economists of nearly every stripe agree on is in order to get the economy moving again the government HAD TO SPEND MONEY IT DIDN'T HAVE.
Jay in NC: Yes, we can all see your disrespect in referring to the current President by only his personal nickname. If you don't agree with the politics and are criticizing some action of the President, that's fine. However, disrespecting the President is equivalent to disrespecting our country. Is that your intention?
kuewa, consider it a term of endearment.
You are a stupid fool who can't even add correctly.
2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 is that 2 years? go back to bed
Don't forget – during most of 2009, Obama was working under the budget set by Bush for Fiscal Year 2008-09. Your numbers lose meaning again!
Jay-
You say Bush started with debt momentum? Yes we had overall debt, but Bush started his 1st term with budget surpluses thanks to Pres. Clinton. It only took him a year to turn us back into the red though.
HS, and President Bush was working with Clinton's budget as well. How many years do you think we should give Barry until he is responsible?
Spencer, The Clinton surplus is a myth. Take a look at http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=np
As can clearly be seen, in no year did the national debt go down, nor did Clinton leave President Bush with a surplus that Bush subsequently turned into a deficit.
Please show proof of your claim.......
What is the process by which this list was created? I guess it's a combination of political ties, political donations, fame, and money?
greenspam, as I said on the 1st post and the update. treasurydirect.gov Look for debt to the penny. If you do not trust the Barry administration, who will you trust.
Well said, Liz!
The only reason I can think of putting down a state dinner with China is either you already hated Obama anyway or you have some axe to grind with China. We hold state dinners for many different heads of state – should we roll out the roll calls of all the myriad guests that had state dinners with Bush? Do you really want to go there?
Unlike Bush, I haven't seen Obama barf in anyones lap 😉
liz–You are an idiot! Bush and cheney would not kow tow to china!!! it would hold fast American Values of Liberty and freedom! Not capitulation and kowtowing Obama portrays! Trump is right. Obama would get on his knees and lavish all over Hu.!!!! Stupid comment about Hu is still presidnet! Well wish Roosevelt gave Hitler a state dinner! Hitler–forget that he was head of a one party dictatorship! He is still Chancellor! Idiot woman–liz
@Jagent @La Tita Is that all you can come up with idiot and moron. Real intelligent. I wouldn't mess with LIZ.
I think it is correct to wine and dine your landlord. Notice all the big business names. Now people may understand who runs this country. Everything is done for big business and the rich. Get use to it. Not going to change.
Nice to know there are still some classy, respectful Americans around.
When you mentioned Bush and Cheney, you left out Cllinton.
What's on the menu?
American Sauce.
Oh some of these just HAD To be on the Hu's Hu request list. This list makes me chuckle... What a waste of US dollars for this – event!
Liz, that was none other than Harry Reid who referred to President Hu as a dictator. Nevada's proud of him. You go Jackie Chan!
What a nice list of corporations in the list. Microsoft? Disney? Coca cola?...heh..... ..great.
Zero class...
I agree you have ZERO class!!!!
And who should have been there then? Sarah Palin? Joyce Meyer? Dr. Phil? It was a state dinner and those who represent America in talent (Hancock, Ma, Streisand) or who have interests in China (Microsoft, Coke) are there. It's called building diplomacy.
They should put a few more poor folks on the list so they can have something to eat and gain insight into how the the elites live, and buy and sell them.
Although the list is weighted toward individuals of Chinese descent, the overall diversity is quite amazing. Jackie Chan and BD Wong ! I doubt that any other country could put together such an interesting State Dinner.
China is not a perfect country but it has made a lot of progress toward democracy over the years, largely due to open cultural and financial interchange with the US. This dinner is another step in the right direction.
Are you implying democracy is the perfection, Kuewa? How come we hear so many complains here in such a democratic country?
No. Nowhere in my comment do I state or mean to imply that the US is a perfect country either. The reference is to China taking steps toward democracy.
You know, as I red down the list of all these venerable folks, I could help but grin and stop when I saw Jackie Chan's name. I am sure that he is a stately gentlemen and I mean that sincerely. I would imagine more folks will want to see him that many of the other faces in the crowd. Infectious smile and humorous personality. Makes all the other pomp and nonsense a blur.
And Jackie Chan making the guest list is news HOW...?
I'm waiting for the guest list for who's going to attend the soup kitchen dinner tonight. That's more important in my neck of the woods.
Oh, poor you! Perhaps Sarah Palin could have you over for a pity party and book signing? Or maybe the two of you could go out and shoot a tame caribou a few times for the meat locker? And I'm sure it would go great with the arugula the Obamas have been donating from the White House garden! In fact, why don't you just continue to sit on your butt and have the Obamas teach one of your no doubt many hungry kids how to grow vegetables? Send a hungry kid's parent to a State dinner and they're still hungry for the day; teach them to produce their own food and they're rid of the useless bum forever! 🙂
P.S. Has China been made honorary censor at CNN tonight?
Lets see... 40% white, 40% asian, four Latinos and five and a half black people.
Sounds like a dinner with someone expecting... well... a show.
WHERE THE HECK IS MY NAME ?!?!??!? PLEASE HELP !!! I AM SUPPOSED TO BE ON THIS LIST TOO ??? WHO DO I CALL TO GET ON THIS LIST ??? I WILL PAY $1K NO PROB. PLEASE GET ME ON THIS LIST !! I AM FREE ON THAT NIGHT. I WANT TO BRING 2 OTHER PEOPLE TOO AND IF THEY ARE OPEN MAYBE MAKE IT A MEETUP EVENT TOO !!!!!!!!!!
LOOOOL HERBIE HANCOCK??? WHYY
Herbie definitely deserves a meal; he epitomized true American musicianship ; musician who really has a " ear " and play from their heart and music knowledge,; not by rote memories as some classical musician does. You won't understand if you are not a musician ! Herbie, as one of the innovator in modern American music , is an important part of American music evolution for the past 50 years.His accomplishment far excelled musician like Liszt; had liszt is still alive todaty, he would have tried, if he could managed, to do some of Herbie's stuff.
does the president of china have a wife and if so where was she?
She stays home because she is too ugly.
Most wives are strictly for pragmatic reasons; marriage of convenience.It is especially a symbolic figure in China; so HU , as an important figure in politic, won't be looked upon as a gay person,which is a taboo and laughing stock in China or chinese society.
Hu's real " love " are, of course, his numberous mistresses. Do you really believe HU, a person of that social status, is a devoted ONE-WIFE husband ? Especially in china, there are millions of women willing to be his mistress, not because HU is good in bed, but simply for the sake of a bettter life ! Besides, prostitution and infidelity are imprinted in the genes of most chinese male ! Stop sleeping and Wake up !
Liu Yongqing is his wife's name. She came to America when President Bush had a state dinner and visit.
Yeah , they do but it is just symbolic and not sexually related. But then, obviously he can't bring any of his dozens of mistresses to the state dinner. Wait the minute, may be CIA have that list , but then it is a privacy matter.
They forgot to include Tareq & Michaele Salahi.
*sniff* These are making me sad. (Kitten – you are not unorwthy!)Brooke – pass Kitten some cookies, eh?Carolyn – I bet you're already all in the Christmas spirit and forgot about your loss.
Now I know why Steve Jobs look his medical leave when he did.
What about Jet Li?
Phew, I was afraid Goldman Sachs wouldn't get a seat at the exclusive table, but I was happy to see that all of their money they earned by bending their investors over earned them 2 seats at the table.
Long live the Communist Party of USA !
Long live the Communist Party of China !
Tim Roesch sucks.
With Jackie there, the security is assured!
Obama wants better security so he made sure to invite Jackie Chan
pathetic list of chinese descent guest list. jackie chan is an idiot! if you know and heard his political comments in asia–you will see he is an ass! he is no proponent of democracy and is a mouth piece for the dictatorship regime in china! he poo poos Taiwan and it democracy!
I wonder where was Pres Obama's right-hand man, Al Sharpton???
@Jagent, Idiot?!? WOW! Well OK then!
President Hu's wife is Eight Mpnths pregnant and she stayed home.
Is Mr.Hu wants to share Pres. Obama's Wife??? Check his bed, but!!!
NO ! HE IS UNABLE TO DO SO: AS BY THE AGE OF 50ish, MOST CHINESE MAN ARE IMPOTENT. BESIDES, SIZE DOES MATTERS !
48/227 invited guests are Chinese background.
Psychologically, the rooms and foods are designed to manipulated the 48 guests on American favour. Awesome!!!!!!
Go to flea market.
Bit-by-bit,
Hu-by-who,
Who-is-Hu!? Hu!hu!hu!...!!! Puf!puf!puf!...!!!
Jackie Chan stated that Chinese people need to be controlled by their government. Of course he made the list.
The Gathering of the Elite.
We are but pawns in their chess game.
He gets to invite Herbie Hancock... because he wants to invite Herbie Hancock. That's awesome!
Michelle Obama looks great! Her husband not so bad either! Have a great dinner. Get us some jobs President Obama. You are doing a Great Job!
Are you freaking kidding me? He looks like he should be standing in someone's front yard holding a big ring in his hand, she looks like a very bad transvestite and our county is going to shit and you thinks he's doing a great job? Your an ass.
Notfooled is right: Michelle looks gorgeous. Only people using your language will bring this country down.
You can't spell.
why is Vera Wang on the list? isit because she designed the dress that Michelle Obama wore?
omg.. i hope vera wang didn't design that dress... it was atrocious!! well... i guess there's not much you can do with michelle's weird shaped body..everything looks strange on her!
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVITED UNCLE OBAMA????
I agree with all the listed attendees except one. Why is Barbra Streisand invited? If I'm not mistaken she has no ties to American-Chinese relations and has no Chinese ancestry.
Even Jackie Chan , the goof, on the list ! Told you, OBAMA HAS NO CLASS !
JACKIE CHAN ? ! THANK GOD !! I AM SO GLAD I WASN"T INVITED !
Vely bad guest rist, I tink I go take showah now
Quite the cast for a Jackie Chan movie.
It was interesting to see Michelle Kwan on the list, along with Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, Henry Kissinger and Nancy Kissinger. What a wide variety of people we have for an occasion such as this.
Wow. Talk about a non-news item. Who cares?
Bill and Hillary at the same dinner? Awkward...
The use of "The Honorable" as a title implies that these individuals are in some way more worthy than a typical US citizen. Could this bestowing of title be contributing to the sense of entitlement of the "Political Class". These people are simply doing a job; unlike the military when the title has a use, the title "The Honorable" does nothing to indicate a person's position as Mayor, Judge, Representative or Senator would do. And why would an assistant to the President be deserving of any title.
What a list. The CFR White Shoe Boy Club Reunion
HAD JANE GODDALL BE INVITED, SHE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IN A DOZEN JACKIE CHAN !
Mrs. Obama(BUFFALO FACE), looked like the great Pumpkin, and the Prez looked his usual self even polished his azz kissing lips for the event. Wonder if they visited the local soup kitchen where us Americans have to eat? Or maybe the welfare lines where all the poor mexicans were at!! *Wayne*
You are a moron.
I was really disappointed that my husband and I were not invited!
What were Mr. and Mrs. Streisand doing there?
State dinner?? I thought they kept saying steak dinner and thought "how nice of the Obamas to have the Hus over for a nice steak dinner. This is obviously a bigger deal than I thought.
That dress looked like Mrs. O just finished greaing a tractor and most of the grease was still on her. She tried another one of those dirty dresses before.
China is not perfect nor is the USA . well done MR President .It is a well deserved diner at the WH by Mr President Hu . Oh and by the way ,me , i like chinese food better 🙂
Anyone know what the most celebrated nouveau Vegan Bill Clinton ate? Was it just the veggies?
Why the hell is there going to be some one there from The Walt Disney corperation?
I'm surprised to not see Jim Owen or his replacement not on the list...
WHAT? No Rush Limbaugh??
What a waste of tax payers money??
I wonder why they didn't invite the guy who invented the Dollar Store.
I didn't see Sarah Palin on that guest list. Probably because they weren't serving hot dogs.
She likes cold dogs and serving to the cold blooded.
Amazing that some of that crowd could even stay awake thru a state dinner. Carter....goodness
I see the GE CEO made the list, of course. Maybe GE will sell all thos applinaces that do not work for long to the Chinese – wonder who handles the service calls in China for that lol
Used to be that we wanted to make sure we taught our children Spanish as a second language. Better add Mandarin Chinese to that "must do " list. It's coming people, wait and see
really? cnn got the sahali's to do commentary on the state dinner? when i saw that, i immediately turned the channel... i thought that was disgustingt... cnn is stooping to new lows....
All of these politions ought to be ashamed of themselves for allowing their names and states to be shown on any list shown to the public in the news. Do they ever stop to think what their states people are thinking of them for attending such an extravigent dinner knowing that people are suffering from every state. This is no more than a slap in the face of their constiuents and just goes to show how much they care about us, also when any high level politition goes to China they are greeted with a show of power of their military. And what does the American gov do, they wine'em dine'em and kiss their azzes.. This makes me sick and disgustes me in every way...*Wayne*
Yes, these vulgar displays are disgusting to all from the Bush ilk. It is something that was not practiced during the previous administration. It’s call diplomacy.

Right, and think of the money spent so you can use the internet and complain. Charity begins at home!
Regarding the dinner speaking list following President Obama, can we assume "Hu is onfirst?" Thanks Bob Schieffer.
Why weren't yao ming and his wife invited!?
Regarding the dinner speaking list following President Obama, can we assume "Hu is onfirst?"
I think it's hilarious people keep talking about their fellow citizens having to eat at soup kitchens and 'suffering' due to the recession. Considering the fact that the preponderance of Americans are overweight, having to 'go to bed hungry' might be a blessing in disguise.
Most people just don't understand how good they have it. The poorest Americans are richer than the upper classes of developing countries, not to mention the intangible blessings of democracy we so often take for granted.
One, I thought BD Wong was gay, so someone explain the "Mrs.....Wong" part. Two, all those women around and not a single one was makin' sammiches.
While millions of unemployed, or hard working, tax paying Americans are having a hard time feeding their families, these elitist swine continue to lavish themselves in luxury. A good leader would be sensitive to the pain of those they lead, and by example show some frugality. But, the Obamas and their group of opulent entitled comrades continue their irresponsible spending in front of a struggling nation ... as if to rub our noses in it, while they squander our hard earned money !!!
Why are hardworking, taxpaying citizens having a hard time feeding their families? what are they doing with their paychecks?
hey helenhull,don't be as idiot as to think that all the mexicans are on the welfare lines.the great majority of us go to work everyday and don't lose the time snitching as you on cnn
@Jay; THANKS for shouting down what seems to be pure disrespect and hate for the president and his wife, personally! That's all I've ever been trying to say. Can you see why I felt like it was biggotry, hate and racist? Most of them are just ranting and spewing hateful poisons with no substance! They don't even have a valid political reason to dislike him, therefore, they hadn't done any resarch on anything; like YOU are very good at doing! It's pure and simple hate!
