Obama and the Dalai Lama

[peoli]

I dont remember the news that they met....

[crikkett]

1. the shawl

IIRC the white shawl is presented as a gift to the Llama, who blesses it and returns it to the giver.

I don't remember GW wearing one. And look at their smiles. So nice to see genuine smiles again.

Only 63 days left to endure/ignore smirks...

3. "Obama last met the Dalai Lama in 2005

at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee event."

That's about all I can find online about the meeting.
