    It could have been worse, the Chinese could have used something the Americans often like to use.

    Was reading this morning about Obama arriving in China for G20 and he had to get out of the ass of the plane

    More bull**** from the pathetic Guardian!
    At 0.17 and 0.36 Obama can CLEARLY be seen exiting the aircraft from the door at the nose which he always uses and not from "the ass" of air force one.

    They'll treat him with respect because he will actually be a man of substance who won't back down like Obama or shillery.

    Erm no sorry, the door he usually exits is up to the left.

    He came down the built in steps.

    The ass does not mean the end of the plane, rather a lower door, instead of one up near the cockpit. You can see the two doors here - the higher is 'The President's Entrance'.

    It's a non-story either way though.

    So the Chinese had Obama leave the plane from the door nearest the Seal of the President of the USA, big deal!
    From reading that Guardian link you would think he had to crawl out of the luggage hold!

    If you'd bothered to watch the video embedded in the article on the Guardian website, you'd have seen a shot which showed exactly where he came out.

    I don't really get the anger at the newspaper here, for using a direct quote of 'the ass'. The journalist themselves described it as the 'belly'.

    LOL, easy boy, the Chinese didn't make him come out any door, it's just he would have had to jump from the higher door coz they were using all the red carpet stairs for more important people.

    Depends on your viewpoint, I don't look to mass murderers, world destroyers as important people, I'd say the next child killed in Pakistan by one of his drones anytime now is more important than him, BTW all the G20 are mass murderers, so fcuk them all.

    You didn't answer my question, the red carpet was hardly going over to the next child killed in Pakistan by a drone.

    So who is more important than the President of the United States?

    His puppet master, but he wasn't there. Why did he need red carpet though?, he didn't seem to have difficulty walking down the steel steps.

    When flying back, he should fly low over those disputed islands, with a few fighter jets for company.

    They would never fire on Air Force One.

    Zero chance they would fire on Air Force One. China would not win a war with America, despite its technology leaps in the past decade. This is simply playing the nationalist card so the government can secure popular support and take attention away from problems and corruption at home.

    I suppose they wouldn't just shoot on Air Force One, but if he were stupid enough to fly over the disputed Islands China would scramble jets to intercept and if accompanying US fighter jets fired on the Chinese, China would take them all out of the sky, I've no doubt.

    I'm an American Jew and I'm still waiting to find out where all the American Jews reportedly get all the cool stuff, like money, power, and control of the film industry. Since you all know so much about it, why not point a sister in the right direction?

    Your basically an Ashkenazi Jew, or Khazar, the zionist's don't really give a sh1t about you or your forefathers, your not an elite, if you were you'd already be rich. Your just a commoner, although if you moved to Palestine they'd allow you kick a native off their land and build a house on it.

    Oh, believe me, as someone who is actually not a Zionist I don't confuse the two at all.
    ...your not an elite, if you were you'd already be rich...

    My family opted for "talented and good looking" instead of "wealthy", heh. We have a few big names in the arts. Not that I suspect you'd know much about that.

    As for moving to Palestine, I'm too busy trying to get along in Ireland. You can go, if you want. The rest of my family live in Hollywood and Ventura. Yes, we're Ashkenazi as hell, and as far as I'm concerned that and five euro will buy you a cup of coffee.

    How is that?, the Bible/Torah says it's the land of Judah, blood, decendants, conversion in the 6th century doesn't make you a descendant of Judah.
