When he met the Queen of England he didn’t bow, plus Michelle inappropriately touched the Queen. I understand Obama’s father hated the Brits for their anti-Mau-Mau campaign first executed by PM Winston Churchill, (PM 1951-55). Obama had Churchill’s bust emoved from the Oval Office, and he didn’t bow to the Queen (like he bowed to the Saudi King and the Japanese Emperor) because of his disdain for the Brits.
What an idiot!...
He’ll apologize for Bush’s cowboy diplomacy pushing the peace-loving Japanese back up against the wall which forced them no way out but to attack us out of self-defense.
The bow worked perfectly. Now people won’t see the bow to the Saudi king for what it was: a submission of Obama to Islam.
Notice how Nixon and Hirohito never take their eyes off each other.
Quite unlike Obama’s crotch stare.
If that had happened, Obowma would be OK because it's a 50-50 thing, although the waist-bend thing would still look real weird even if they both did it.
I spent a summer with a Japanese family. Of things we discussed was the art of bowing. If you bow like Nixon in the picture did, it’s the equivalent of just a handshake. Bowing from the waist to almost a 90deg. angle like Barry did is a sign of obeisance to a higher authority. See the other pictures in this thread of how other heads of state greeted the Japanese premier ....
OK, please explain to me:
Obama bows to Muslim King Abdullah, and to Emperor Hirohito (Shinto?). So how come he didn’t bow and genuflect to Pope Benedict? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/International/story?id=8049308&page=1
I think he is an anti-Catholic bigot. He’s already proved he is an anti-Semite with Jeremiah Wright and his hatred of Israel.
Maybe Catholics who voted for this Marxist ought to wake up. And Jews, too.
Fixed it.
Obama is not American. He is striving to be king. Obama is a Marxist.
Actually I think I would have enjoyed that more.
Japan expert to ABC : Yes, Obama’s bow made him look like an idiotThe bow as he performed did not just display weakness in Red State terms, but evoked weakness in Japanese terms….The last thing the Japanese want or need is a weak looking American president and, again, in all ways, he unintentionally played that part.
Lord McCartney famously (or infamously) refused to kowtow to the Chinese emperor. I don’t see why a US president should bow to the Japanese emperor.
Keep on truckling, Mr. President!
I have another question about that picture with them on the podium. What is Bill Richardson (I think that’s who that is) looking at? He is looking somewhere totally different than the other three. I have wonder what is going on out-of-shot everytime I see that picture.
I thought Obama was reaching for Emperor’s zipper, but photo was taken to soon to see if he scored.
I can hardly wait till Diane Sawyer takes over the World News in January./s
Maybe she will have her husband, Mike Nichols, on to provide some political balance./s
