Unbelievable. Obama’s been in office for only 2 years and already they’re playing Red Chinese commie songs at State Dinners in the White House.
How’s that for hope and change?

The US was humiliated in eyes of Chinese by a song used to inspire anti-Americanism at the Obama State Dinner for Hu Jintao.

Internet users in China are praising the pianist after this great embarrassment at the Obama White House.
Asia One reported:

Chinese web users are acclaiming pianist Lang Lang’s choice of tune for a White House state dinner given in honour of President Hu Jintao – a patriotic theme song from an anti-US war film.

The 28-year-old Chinese virtuoso, who divides his time between China and the United States, has given no indication that he was aware of the nationalistic tinge to his choice at last Wednesday’s dinner entertainment.

But web users in China hailed Lang Lang as a true patriot for playing “My Motherland”, the theme of a famous 1956 Chinese film called “Battle on Shangganling Mountain” set during the Korean War.

The movie of the Battle of Triangle Hill, as it became known, features Chinese troops enduring huge hardship before reinforcements arrive and rout their American enemies.

“It’s deeply meaningful to play this in the United States, but I don’t know if the Americans can understand? Ha ha,” one web user said on leading portal sina.com.

“You really voiced our thoughts,” another wrote. “We do not want to see war, but we are really not afraid of war, and to defend our homeland, we are really not afraid of any great powers.”

Others wondered if the pianist was aware of the song’s history.

“Congratulations!” one said. “On a separate issue, before picking ‘My Motherland’, did you know it was the theme tune for ‘Battle on Shangganling Mountain’?”

On his blog, Lang Lang gushed about his black-tie evening at the White House in the company of Hu and President Barack Obama. He played the piece solo after a piano four-hands with US jazz legend Herbie Hancock.

He wrote that playing “My Motherland” in front of so many dignitaries “seemed like I was telling them about the power of China and the unity of the Chinese”.

Once again… Here is the pro-commie song from the movie “Battle Triangle Hill.”
This song was played for Obama and Hu Jintao at the White House State Dinner:

Unbelievable.
Nice work, Barack.
Is it 2012 yet?

    one hand clapping..

    O’Huna

    translation: one way or another, we are being
    screwed by an ingeniously collective nut case..

  2. Was Barry mouthing the words with him?

  3. I’ll bet Obammy knew every word to the song!

  4. Just like the Christmas ornament of Mao

  5. Does O’Barry realize that his condescending, anti-American attitude is only making us more determined to replace him in 2012?

    Compare his treatment of the Commies and his treatment of Gordon Brown. Stunning.

  6. Lang Lang crapped in Obama’s punch bowl, man oh man the world really respects us now bawahahhahahha
    Smart power baby, it’s all the rage!!! Of course the cowards in New York media will ignore the intended insult just like they did with the Ground Zero Mosque (that name, that place, opening on that date) and call anyone who points out the insult a racist.

  7. This illustrates the unworthiness of our Dear Leader (as if we need more proof of that).

    The only question remaining is whether the Clod-in-Chief knew and approved of this massive insult, or was naively punked by the Chicoms. Neither scenario is better than the other.

    Boehner and McConnell were wise to distance themselves from this spectacular disaster of a state function.

  8. did Obama give him a standing Ovation? Is this that ever elusive SMART POWER we been hearing about?

  9. Stupidest Office of the Chief of Protocol EVAH

  10. What a disgrace. . . Dope & Change indeed!. . . I guess that the “O” in Obama is the same “O” one finds in Fool or Incompetent!

  11. This is typical. During my travels in Asia, I realized that the Chinese have been taught to hate us and to desire to see us crushed. They are taught that we are warlike and we don’t want them to succeed. They are itching for a war with this because they think it’s time for China to rule the world. This insult is typical Chinese behavior. They think we don’t understand what they are saying and so have a laugh at our expense. In actuality, we do understand their gross abuse of hospitality. Unfortunately for us, we have Teh Impotent Won in office, and he has no idea how to punk China.

  12. The UK Telegraph was trying to make Jintao out to be some kind of a great humanist. Wasn’t he the guy in charge of Titiatamen square? Excuse my spelling

    “nane huna” :aka: narcissist O’logic:

    [Before you dismiss this as simply a bit of cleverness or a waste of time, let me tell you about the rest of the meditation. After the revelation that the sound of one hand clapping must be the same as the sound of two hands clapping, it struck me that this was a nice metaphor for two of the corollaries of the Second Principle of Huna. The basic principle states that there are no limits, which implies that everything is in a relationship to everything else. And that implies that if you change one side of a relationship you change both sides. Even if only one hand changes its position relative to another, unmoving hand, a clapping sound will be produced. We don't have to wait for both sides of a relationship to participate before bringing about beneficial change. Change one side of that relationship and the other side has to change because the relationship has changed.]

    totally contained within & of itself :iow: not one iota of tangible reality..

  14. These are the kind of incidents that need to be shown over and over during the campaign season by the Republican nominee. People forget this stuff. They need to be reminded time and time again what an American hater and loser our own president is. Do you remember the Gulf Oil Spill? I do, but now it’s buried. There are millions of examples to remind voters how horrible Zero is.

  15. with a tear in his eye – obama was caught up in the moment. yearning for the days of yester- years….[gag yuck poooo-eeeee]. obama doesn’t care enough to actually care. when you have no alliegance you have no guilt or concern over how your words and deeds projected to others. as if they matter. and off topic – thank God the obama adm has the southern border under control or i’d be scratching my head over drones being used over American cities
    [So the Texas agents did what no state or local law enforcement agency had done before in a high-risk operation: They launched a drone] hmmmmm? not that obama or holder would have a “HEY don you think”..moment.

  16. Can you impeach for stupidity? What an embarrassment.

  17. #18 – Dunno if he can be impeached, but I want to say yes. How is letting America get punked by China not a high crime or misdemeanor?

    The thing is, if we could just get teh Senate back, maybe we could get someone to look at the situation because there has be SOMETHING in this horrifying past two years that counts as a high crime or a misdemeanor.

  18. #15, Mikey, but, but, but, then the New York Slimes would say it’s, drum roll, RAACIST!. I hope the next GOP nominee doesn’t, like did McCain, desire cocktail party invitations and pats on the back by leftists more than winning.

  19. Almost every country we can legitimately call an enemy spits in our face. Almost every country we call an ally now spits in our face as well. With the beginning of the Obama regime, I thought we’d be having a foreign policy hiatus. It’s much worse than that, it’s a total disaster.

  20. Let them gloat now.

    In a few years China will tear itself to pieces.

    China is heading for a demographic nuke. Anything happening in Japan, Europe or the US with the aging population is nothing compared to what China is heading for.

    China’s running out of women thanks to the one-child policy. Everybody wanted to have a son, so the baby girls were (and still are) murdered in the millions. Since the introduction of this “policy” more than 15 million baby girls have been murdered. It’s a holocaust on little girls.

    Last time I checked there were more than 30 million men than women and that is the sign of an extremely unhealthy population. A healthy population always has more women than men.

    As a result sex crimes are out of control in some areas. Rape and sexual assault, often followed by murder, is growing out of hand.

    Let them gloat now.

    They’re in for a very rude wakeup call.

  21. So was the pianist invited by the Obama Administration to play? I take it Wu didn’t bring his own entertainment. So basically this was a diss to America. And Obama keeps telling us he would heal the bad feelings other countries have against us after all those years of Bush. Hah!

  22. In 2-3 months wikileaks will release a confidential dispatch from the clinton lady in charge of foreign relations indicating that while she understands china will make no comment regarding apology ,,, would they please,please please not do this in the future at a US state function. And by the way we need another loan for Obama’s newest make work program for union employees

  23. Here are all the words:

    This is a great river, its waves are wide and calm
    The wind blows through the rice flowers, bearing fragrance to either shore
    My home is right there by the water
    I am used to hearing the punters’ whistle
    and seeing the white sails on the boats

    This is a great river, its waves are wide and calm
    The wind blows through the rice flowers, bearing fragrance to either shore
    My home is right there by the water
    I am used to hearing the punters’ whistle
    and seeing the white sails on the boats

    This is the beautiful motherland
    The place where I grew up
    In this expansive stretch of land
    Wonderful landscape can be seen everywhere

    Young ladies are like flowers
    Young men have a big heart and grand visions
    In order to construct a new realm
    They have waked the sleeping mountains
    And made the rivers change their appearance

    Great mountains, great rivers and an amazing place
    Every road is flat and wide
    When friends are here, there is fine wine
    But if the wolves come
    What greets it is the hunting gun

  24. if we can’t get judges, congress to review Obama college records, ssn, birth certificate, we can’t impeach him..period. How did he even get this far?? Are the 2012 candidates being vetted? Are the CZARS going to be required to complete the litmus test? Only liberals get away with this type of criminal activity. And we DO NOTHING. Americans must BE FIRST as all other free countries..but we are not. Illegals are first—Islamics education is first–jobs are sent out of our country!! He does not defend his own states (NYC, Arizona)–he insults America to other countries–although we have helped them ALL–every country has used our technology, science (China used our Hoover DAM plans to build 14 new DAMs) etc..throughout the world. But he closes our drill zones, NASA, exports our jobs, our health care! Our dollar!! Then he bows and allows China and Mexico to insult US on our OWN soil…disgusting…what about Farrakhan going to IRAN? Isn’t that against the LOGAN Act? Americans are being treated like scum….and he is planting the seed..

  25. Andreas K at 8:09: “Since the introduction of this “policy” more than 15 million baby girls have been murdered.”

    And how many millions killed by abortions in the US? With the abortion murders, we’re even worse than China!

    hah!! do you (in general) think those who deem themselves worthy of
    deciding what you ie: consume, where you reside, whether you live
    or die
    is going to stop them from controlling the size of your family??

    OT.. ready set go..

    on with the show..

    heard Rahm Emanuel was removed from the ballot via court ruling..

    HUGE distraction action.. and albeit i was not literally watching my tv (had
    it on for background noise so to speak).. yes, they interrupted my local tv
    station to make the announcement.. as a matter of fact i believe he’s still
    being shown shaking all sorts of hands as i type..

    ==

  28. If Lang Lang had only come on stage in blackface and sung a few bars of Ole Man Ribber then Obama might have figured out he was being punked.
    But seriously, are there no professionals left at the White House to vet these sort of things?

  29. ++

    i repeat..

    on it’s own it makes no difference to me, collectively however, there’s just
    a bit too much to see.. iow: i don’t care if it’s a communist song or not, it’s
    not an American song, will we ever be hearing songs in praise of America/ns
    via this “present” upon US??

  30. Who can forget those wacky Leningrad Cowboys & the Red Army Choir playing that American classic…

    love it!! :D

    hey, it’s a AMERICAN song.. :-)

    ==

  32. We got PUNKED !

  33. Go to YouTube, and search for scenes from “The Battle of Triangle Hill.” There’s more than just singing posted. Especially look for the scene where Chinese troops are presented systematically machine gunning what are played to be hundreds, if not thousands, confused and fleeing US GIs.

  34. Is lang lang American? Is he another anthony yuen, a naturalized US citizen who swore loyalty to the uS and then started fanning anti us sentiment on a chinese tv station (phoenix tv)? We need to tighten.t restrictions on naturalizations to stop this dangerous infiltration

  35. The main problem here is that there was no check of the songs played. This is a poor job by a president who said he was going to help improve our image in the foreign eye-instead he’s done some pretty embarrassing things over the years: England gifts, overdone bowing to everyone, appearing on daytime TV, handlers allowing the Chinese song are just a few examples from the top of my head.

    From a Chinese perspective the song is mostly recalled and not the battle or movie. Go back and read the words, I’ll wait…The only thing that can be construed as anti-American in the song is the wolves and gun part, but even then it’s only in innuendo. This song isn’t sung all over China to be “anti-American” as most just find it to be a pretty opera-style song.
