CBS News’ Mark Knoller and the rest of the White House press pool are kept at what seems to be a good distance from the president most of the time, but Knoller makes use of the space to deliver some witty observations from the sidelines. An iPod loaded with the president’s speeches probably would have been greatly appreciated for catching up on sleep during the long flight back to China, but for some reason President Xi found himself lugging home a bench.

In Chinese it reads “I went to see Obama and all I got was this lousy bench!”

Remember. He gave the Brits a handful of cheap movie cassettes from the sale bin at Walmart or target and they weren’t even the right format to work on UK player machines. In other words, Trash. So some ROC patio chairs are an improvement. Not much of one admittedly but still a tiny step forward.

I'd thought Obama was engaging in deliberate effrontery with the tasteless, inappropriate and cheap gifts to the British, but these are thinly veiled communists. So, I guess he's just a boor.

Of course it was made in China. If not, it will be soon, by the company of Obama and Xi.

He’s been in office for less than 5 years — give him a chance! He’ll get the hang of it eventually.

They will offer smaller commemorative reproductions made from the same wood to be sold like other Obama junk. The product will be called “Son Of A Bench.”

WHY is it necessary for the President and our tax dollars give gifts to foreign visitors..?????
our country is in a difficult financial time and obama and government waste, waste, waste...
stop this nonsense...

Clearly teak, nicely oiled with linseed, quality joinery with not a metal screw or epoxied seam in sight, very well proportioned craftsman styling reminiscent of Stickley. Nothing embarrassing about that one at all, but it's still not exactly a gift between heads of state.

Poor guy Xi, how’s he gonna get through the TSA checkpoint carrying patio furniture?
