"How low can he go?"

Fear for the republic. He will go much lower.

Personally, it’s humiliating to me to see an American President do this to any foreign leader. That’s how libs are though and we have a whopper. I consider it a self-esteem genetic defect. Butt-boy is right, George Soros butt-boy, that is.

Correction:

To any American soldier who his/her life at Pearl Harbor and through WWII at the hands of the Japanese, this would have been viewed as TREASON.

Why do we not view it as TREASON???

The same lowly bow.

Nope. To King Fraud, protector of mecca and medina he bent his knees.

Even more submissive...

I can not tell you how sick this guy makes me. He has no respect for this nation at all. He is intentionally doing this crap.

The damn entire left-wing ilk he comes from would have us all bowing to terrorists. They all are hot and heavy to give terrorists all as much rights and justification as they can.

This is left-wing sickness on display.

The Emperor looks as if he's saying "Heh, heh, heh."

And he's not bowing in return. Only Obama, the supplicant, is bowing.

A photo op that shows how weak he is. Correct?

Because he wants so much to be loved by those who will only mock him for being a floor-scraping kissass.

BUMP

That is exactly it. Leaders of other nations see pictures like this and they laugh at this rank amateur who should never have been elected. He is such an embarrassment.

He’s just covering his tracks when he was caught bowing to the Saudis.

I expect that you're right. It was intended to be ex post facto plausible deniability for his bow to the Saudi King.

What it really does is prove beyond a shadow of a doubt (destroying every phony excuse made for him) that he did indeed bow to the Saudi King.

Surely Obama must have seen “The Karate” kid right? When Mr. Miyagi says to Daniel-San during a bow, “Look eye! Always look eye!”

That’s exactly what it is. His 95 IQ followers will call it respect. It’s strictly business as usual in the Obama admin. The SOB has all of stupid America and he knows it.

Yes, he is. As is Michiko-sama.

Foreigners should not bow in Japan until they learn the rules, which takes a very long time and that was a grievous breach of protocol on Obama's part.

It's almost like he wants the world to know that he is a child.
