Hu's the President of China?

OK, the whole Abbott and Costello thing kinda grew legs on me so I had to go with it, and made this blog post:


OBAMA: Well, Mr. Speaker, Your party may have taken control of the House, but I think that we can still work together to make good things happen for this country.


BOEHNER: Mr. President, I must inform you that we plan to repeal Health Care Reform at our earliest opportunity.


OBAMA: Well, as you can imagine, we'll do whatever we can to prevent that.


BOEHNER: Well, I hear you're having a state dinner this week for a major foreign dignitary. Who's coming to the White House?


OBAMA: Indeed he is.


BOEHNER: Who?


OBAMA: Right.


BOEHNER: I'm asking you who's coming to the White House.


OBAMA: That's right -- Hu is coming to the White House.


BOEHNER: That's what I want to find out.


OBAMA: I just told you.


BOEHNER: Are you the President?


OBAMA: Yes.


BOEHNER: And you don't know who's coming to dinner with you?


OBAMA: Hu is.


BOEHNER: Why in the world are you asking me? I'm just the Speaker of the House! So... one more time, who's coming to this state dinner?


OBAMA: Hu is.


BOEHNER: The guy who's coming to dinner.


OBAMA: Right.


BOEHNER: So tell me.


OBAMA: I did.


BOEHNER: Who?


OBAMA: Right.


BOEHNER: Wright?


OBAMA: Right.


BOEHNER: So Wright is coming to dinner?


OBAMA: No, Hu is coming to dinner.


BOEHNER: This is starting to sound like a Sidney Poitier movie.


OBAMA: That's the man's name.


BOEHNER: That's who's name?


OBAMA: Yes.


BOEHNER: Well, go ahead and tell me.


OBAMA: That's it.


BOEHNER: That's who?


OBAMA: Yes.


BOEHNER: Look, Mr. President... you got a guest coming to dinner?


OBAMA: Certainly.


BOEHNER: So who's coming to dinner?


OBAMA: That's right.


BOEHNER: All I'm trying to find out is the fellow's name who's coming to the White House.


OBAMA: Hu.


BOEHNER: The name of your guest.


OBAMA: Hu.


BOEHNER: I can see we're not getting anywhere here. Is there anyone else you're inviting?


OBAMA: I am considering inviting Yu.


BOEHNER: Well, thank you very much.


OBAMA: Michelle likes her book, Blood and Plum Blossoms.


BOEHNER: Whose book?


OBAMA: No, not Hu's book, Yu's book.


BOEHNER: Uh... Mr. President, I think your Chicago accent is showing. So you're inviting me?


OBAMA: Well, yes, you'll get an invite too.


BOEHNER: I thought you already said I was coming?


OBAMA: We were talking about Hu.


BOEHNER: (Frustrated) Who, you, Moo Goo Gai Pan...


OBAMA: No, Hu is Chinese, but we're having steak and lobster.


BOEHNER: Forget it! I wouldn't come to your state dinner if you were hosting the President of China! (exits angrily)


OBAMA: I wonder what's wrong with him?
