Obama's Jaw-Dropping Rudeness to Chinese Reporter
Yeesh! Obama's poor upbringing comes shining through. He treated this guy as badly as if he had been wearing Tea Party gear. Can someone get Obama back on teleprompter?
Here is the long version:
The Korean Times reported that Rui, the Chinese reporter, was arrogant to presume to speak for Koreans. But I watched the video myself, and it looked like nobody else raised their hand to ask a question. If everybody is going to sit there and one Chinese man raises his hand, how hard is it to be polite? And why the shtick about needing an interpreter? Plenty of people all over the world speak English. The polite thing to do is to wait until one is sure an interpreter is needed. Not to look at someone's facial features and assume that they cannot speak English. Rui did not stand up claiming to speak for Koreans. He asked the Korean journalists for permission after Obama was rude to him.
