President Obama Spotted Chewing Gum Again While Abroad
Chinese bloggers previously outraged over gum chewing at APEC forum.
BRISBANE, Australia— -- It seems President Obama didn’t learn his lesson after the outrage in Beijing earlier this week over his gum chewing at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
As the G20 summit got underway in Brisbane today, the president was once again spotted smacking gum as he chatted with British Prime Minister David Cameron at the first plenary session.
So far, the Australians don’t seem to mind nearly as much as the Chinese did.
Chinese bloggers thought the president looked like "an idler" or a "rapper" when he arrived at the grand event of the APEC summit on Monday, USA Today reported.
President Obama is a known user of Nicorette gum in an effort to fight off his cigarette cravings.
