Or perhaps they had read Obama as a piker, as did Putin.Check out the last time Obama went to China last fall! No one showed up at the airport and they didn't even provide stairs for him to get off the plane. He had to use the built-in stairs in the bottom of Air Force One.
No red carpet for Obama!
Perhaps that is because they knew that Obama couldn't be played and wasn't duped by puffery.
Hmmm? ;-)
That was some weak shit.
