His ratings here are tanking so countries we have combatted with will of course love him. I draw an analogy to the hated guy in the work group who goes through-out the plant to gin up fake support. The group will fire his butt.
let’s not jump to any conclusions..
Is this normal for U.S. Presidents? To be constantly photgraphed bowing in front of all other world leaders?
I feel sick!
Oba Mao is a pathetic American!
LOL
What is wrong with this imbecile? Has the protocol officer for the WH been fired? Does he not pay attention to the State briefings on etiquette? I am appalled by this moron... Hey Zero - AMERICANS DO NOT BOW TO FOREIGNERS!
This is astoundingly disgusting.
NO AMERICAN PRESIDENT bows to any foreign leder.
HOW DARE HIM???????????????
OK BLACKS...where are you.
The 1st Black American PRESIDENT and HE is diminishing his own stature.
The Emperor knows a good joke when he sees one.
He’s not bowing. Manchelle made him carry her off the plane.
Emperor Akihito thinking) They were right. He does bow to other heads of state. I just wanted to shake his hand in the Westtern fashion.. What do i do now? Better be polite and show honor...Hope my Lumbago doesnt flare up...
Empress Michiko (thinking) My poor husband. Did anyone warn him this would happen? Are we suppose to bow back? My dress cost 1 Million Yen.. It will split..Oh well here goes...
It’s a phony make up for the house of saud. (He does that everywhere dontcha know!)
Easy answer... to make it look like he bows to all heads of state, not just Muslim ones. This is a ruse to cover his past tracks...
Oh jveritas, you underestimate him! ;*)
The Emperor knows a good joke when he sees one.

Seems he can also recognize a bad one too...
Bada bing! LOL
Thanks...
He’s just covering his tracks when he was caught bowing to the Saudis.
I Japanese culture equals bow the same distance at the same time as a sign of respect. You will notice neither the Emperor or his wife are bowing at all. Read between the lines.
Actually, this is a greater act of submission than is apparent on the surface.
The correct protocol in Japan is to bow, same depth, same duration. What The Usurper is doing is tantamount to prostrating himself.
Candor7, you know Japanese customs better than I - is this a correct analysis?
asshat ping
I can not believe this is an American President bowing down in the face of another world leader.
Oba Mao or Barry Soetoro or Satan or whatever his name is makes me ill.
The democrap party is one sick bunch.
