There is no good time to be rude.

The gum should have stayed in the car.

The horror!

We need to dig deeper and see if the gum was made by the Chinese to prove he hates America. /sarcasm.

Now that Ebola has been proven to be a non-issue for the US, I guess this is the next big thing to worry about. The President could get a bad case of TMJ. Tune into Hannity and Limbaugh for all the updates!

Chewing gum is rude.

Etiquette is a big deal.

These where international meetings.

Show up to a job interview chomping gum and you will not get past "hello".

Yep.

I would not hire anyone who was chewing gum or, a man that did not remove his hat.

It may seem cute but it's still improper etiquette and rude. Sure she laughed out off. Unlike China they aren't having a public beef and she's a pro. So the gum chewing would have been ok if the Chinese thought it was ok?

Pres Obama chews Nicorette as an alternative to smoking. It's not really his fault that he had to come of age in a nation of harridans. I wonder how a Churchill or Roosevelt would have reacted to this kind of criticism.
