Mrs Obama, who is 5ft 9in tall,
My impression was that Obama was shorter than his wife,
he must really BE a dwarf.
Insults Starting Day 1
For as sensitive as they are about their own feelings and “culture” they sure don’t give a rat’s ass about anyone else’s. The old stereotype “Ugly American” is alive and well.
What kind of people vote for such as these Obamas.
Why are American citizens bowing to anyone? If it is not my Lord Jesus I am not bowing. These people are so stupid.
Big old clumsy bitch
She should dress like a First Lady , not like a Tourist
Bloody incompetant idiots.
You “live” common sense and protocols and decency all your life.
IF you have done that, and IF you have any humility and reason, you can then “practice” etiquette and procedural rituals before leaving the airplane.
IF you have humility and rational thought, you KNOW you can listen to your advisers and protocol experts FIRST.
But all of this “assumes” you are not Obola or his wife. Who “know” they know all, and do not have to listen to anybody.
Emperor Akihito to his wife: “Look out, here comes Godzilla!”
Can I ask a stupid question?
How is it that we have to pay for Michelle Obama to go to Japan, on what seems like some sort of official visit? Michelle Obama is a private citizen, holds no official position, holds no elective office, has no official role in foreign policy or relations with Japan. So why the heck is she there???
In all fairness, she would have towered over him even if she had not been wearing heels.
And I do not support any U.S. official, no matter how much I dislike them, continuously bowing, crouching or lowering their stance in the presence of a foreign leader. The guy is short - and I’m SURE he already knows that he is short.
Stumbling could happen to anyone - so apart from choosing different shoes, I’m not sure what else she could have done.
The FR Fashion Police are going to be all over her for wearing a suit made from leftover sofa fabric.
The more she tries to be a trend-setter, the more she looks like a clown.
When you are in Japan, you are going to get it wrong, no matter what. The social graces are foreign and very very subtle, so there is no way you are going to get it right.
What counts, if you are a foreigner, is that you make a good effort. If you are just winging it, you are being very rude because you have not made an effort.
Did she get that dress from the wardrobe of Aunt Esther?
Geez what a clumsy klutz. She should watch how Diana Princess of Wales did it, she was tall too and her wiener of a husband couldn’t handle it, but she always looked graceful and controlled whereas m obama always looks so awkward and klutzy. Who told her to wear a green and white tent?
