Woe unto the president who finds himself on the receiving end of comedian Jon Stewart's barbs.

Stewart zinged President Barack Obama Wednesday night on The Daily Show for being the first president since 1991 to stiff arm the Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader. (Warning: The Daily Show video contains bleeped vulgarities towards the end.)

The comedian noted that Obama has long said he would meet with U.S. adversaries like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venenezuela's Hugo Chavez.

"There's no one that Obama won't be willing to try speak with, except for one exception... The Dalai Lama? The only person Obama draws the line at speaking with is the international prince of peace."

Stewart referred to reports that the Obama Administration was concerned a meeting with the Dalai Lama could offend the Chinese. What he didn't say is the administration is in a delicate dance with China, hoping to get it on board for serious sanctions against the Tehran regime if Iran doesn't fully cooperate with United Nations nuclear inspectors.

Anyway, back to Stewart:

"God knows, we don't want to upset China. Gosh, imagine what they'd put in our toys and toothpaste if we upset them."

Sure hope Stewart wasn't planning on taking a trip to China anytime soon.
