What Standard is Fair to Hold Prs. Obama to?

Hi Ted, well as I'm not over there as you know I'm not that familiar with his retinue as it were, but I did have the misfortune to see a tv clip from inside the White House where he and the wife were entertaining the British queen and her escort husband. The latter was televised making one of his usual insulting remarks about foreigners, this time the difficulty apparently in distingushing between the Russians and the Chinese. So is this really setting a good standard to entertain foreigners of that ilk who represent another country without being elected to that position. I would be greatful if anyone knows how Obama dealt with that one, did he join in the joke or dispay a negative reaction. Unfortnualtely the clip I saw only caught the back of his head. If Obama himself had made that statement himself it would have made world news, so tell me how he handled it and if he was happy to surround himself with such an ignorant person.

hello teddy. have to pretty much go along with the thea here - now certainly policians should be held to a certain standard - and criticism is an essential part of a democracy but i can't actually see anything wrong with what i think you are referring to. he was just being diplomatic.
