Thought this was funny. Putin..center stage, and Obama waiting in the wings.

What does the AO crowd think? China sending USA a message? Or was Obama just swapping knitting stories with the ladies when someone snapped the pic.

Good old Stephen Harper is right in the middle back row? Good spot or bad??

I'm not an expert on Chinese culture, but I believe these sorts of things are very significant to them. ?? Anyone??

Obama isn't even doing the old "Seig Heil" like many of these clowns are.
Good salute from Stevo though - he's got the arm up higher than anybody except the one dude in the ladies section and the lady in the big shiny turquoise jacket.
The important guys wear brown and the minor players wear greens.

Thats awesome. The way the Chinese work - it was done with definite intent by putting Obama off to the side and Putin up front & centre. Nice to see Stephen Harper placed centre with Putin as well, reassures me that Canada (thankfully through Harpers Economic brilliance) has established new trading relations with Asia that will help us through the US economic downturns/collapse.

GO STEPHEN GO !!

I am sure that the Chinese have given president Obola a nice new respectful name. "Som Dom Fxk".

Believe it or not, but in Soviet Union it was possible to predict the next old fart to lead the country solely by observing where he is sitting in the newspaper picture, no kidding.
With “communist” China, I can only guess

Would that not be that all of the other people in the picture on the right or left or the great leader had been shot before the picture taking.

Just asking.

Obama has become about the most irrelevant US president of all time. Exit, Stage Left.

The nuance of FIPPA has been lost on you.

under that agreement, Asian investors can take any Canadian regulation, or legislation from all levels of government as well as any judicial decision to closed doors international arbitration and contest it outside of our established legal framework and precedents.

In other words Canada has willingly signed on to being bent over a barrel,
in perpetuity or until we say enough is enough....of course by then our economy will be entirely foreign owned. Given enough negative trade tribunal rulings, our governments will be gradually rendered into puppets.

Agreed to that in China very little is left to chance. There is a reason Obama is in the wings and Harper is on the 2nd row.

[bobinthesky]

" There is a reason Obama is in the wings and Harper is on the 2nd row"

That's because China already owns the US and Canada's next!

[Bellero]

Considering China just signed a 400 billions dollars gas deal with Putin, I'd give him center stage too.

[ali#1]

That Putin seems like a nice guy we should make friends with him.

No yellow shirts though.

[elkdump]

Apparently many citizens of demorcratic and civilized countries think it is OK to have tier DEMOCRATICALLY elected Leaders socialize with and do business dealings with and dine with known butchers and murderes ,

Makes me shiver to live amongst persons so forgiving, especially on a day such as today,

I hope when Obama gets back to the good ol USA he increases China's import taxes by 100%. That would get their attention right quick I figure.

Then China calls in the trillions of dollar's of US debt it holds and the dollar and what's left of the global economy collapses completely.

good idea.

I can't remember the old saying perfect but it goes something like. If you owe the bank $5000 then they own you, if you owe the bank a million then you own them.
