Talk about a high level language exchange. President Barack Obama's nine-year-old daughter, Sasha, wanted to test her developing Chinese skills this week while Hu Jintao was in town. Just whom did she want to practice them with? The Chinese president himself, according to a White House official who recounted the story on Thursday after a formal state dinner the previous night. "The president pointed out last night at the state dinner that his daughter, Sasha, is a very young girl but her class is studying Chinese," Ben Rhodes, a White House deputy national security adviser, told a video conference with Chinese bloggers.

“What part of my country’s defense can I sell you?”
That’s “practices Chinese with ‘whom’...”
“What part of my country’s defense can I sell you?”
Copy that!
Probably while she was also wearing here “No Nuc’s” T-shirt.
These intellectually dysfunctional kids of his are a GD disgrace to America.
Insted of kissing this dictator’s AZZ maybe she could ask about all of those people Mr Hu’s Tanks rolled over at the Tiananmen Square Massacre?
boo hao
I call partial BS on this.
The languages spoken in China are not called “Chinese”. The major dialect in China is called “Mandarin”. To say that she is practicing her Chinese would be like someone from another country wanting to talk to us to practice their “American”, or talking to someone from Mexico to practice their “Mexican”.
Or imagine going to Austria to practice your “Austrian”.
And don't get mad at me, they decided to use her as a prop.
All she needs to learn is ....”Yess suh Massah” in Chinese as they will be the masters here soon.
How do you say “Airliner Contrail” in Chinese?
She’s already learned Chinese for “we’re killing your child for the greater good...”
Her class is studying about China...or chinese....?? Really...the Chinese language at age 9 ???????
Well, her father is a muslim pagan, so what’s the big deal?
“Is it true, that I, as a second daughter, would not have survived in your country?”
I guess a heartwarming story for the supporters of Free Trade with Communist China.....their new hero’s daughter is practicing Chinese with the leader of the Chinese Communist Party.
Wonder if the Obama’s are smart enough to have Sasha practice Mandarin, and not Cantonese, on Hu....
Isn’t Free Trade with Communist China just swell
“Sasha was waving a Chinese flag”....How disgusting....
I have a poster of that. My kids know what it means.
