What a freakin’ Moron…
“A senior administration official said President Barack Obama was simply observing protocol when he bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko upon arriving at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Saturday.”
Douglas Jehr, in a 1994 New York Times report, made it clear that had Clinton actually executed a full bow, it would have destroyed
a precedent dating to the founding of the Republic.
Protocol, Huh? Let’s see how other heads of state and dignitaries greet the Japanese Emperor…
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
King of Morocco
Dick Cheney
Prime Minister Slovenia
President South Korea
President Kazakhstan
Prime Minister India
Vladimir Putin
President Obama…
Don’t just take my word for it. How about this video. 46 Handshakes, One Bow…
Get it straight, Skippy, The President of The United States of America DOES NOT BOW TO ANYONE. Ever. Never has, never will should. Way to go, Jackass.

Who is this guy’s protocol officer? Some ACORN community organizer?

As for destroying a precedent dating back to the founding of the Republic, that ain’t true. President Nixon bowed to Emperor Hirohito (of WWII fame).

Yep, read that and saw that. But first, that looks at least like a mutual bow of respect to me, and second, Nixon is at best slightly bent over, whereas Obama bent as far forward as is humanly possible without falling over. And as you know better than I, the more deep the bow, the more appeasement and submission is shown…

Agreed.

The guy’s a moron. And after telling a pack of lies at the Brookings Institute as regards our economy and his thorough mishandling of it, he’s off to Dopenhagen for his part in the Crime-ate CONference to totally f**k American sovereignity to marxist interests, and then off to Oslo for his totally unearned Noballs prize.
Then he’s back to try to fleece us on hellthcare, marxist style.
Fire every Democrat in ‘10 and ‘12. Every mothers’ son/beeyotch of them.
