Of course he going to bow to both Emperor Akihito
and Hu Jintao
Hell if I owed someone $880 Billion (China) or $730 Billion (Japan), I'd do some seriously a$$ kissing too!

Yup, I think he just bows when he shakes hands. Maybe it’s because he’s tall and just got in the habit. Unless of course it’s someone he doesn’t feel deference for.
Problem was, it was not only foolishly executed against all diplomatic rules and precedent, IT WAS INSINCERE.
Believe me, the Japanese can sense treachery and sneak attacks from 1000 paces. There is historic precedent why they have this savvy. Because they themselves have as a nation and within internal clans, engaged in it.
So many people told me when they saw that bow "....this man is not sincere. He is hiding something, and we (Japan) are in trouble." When the untrained eye and also the White house press office and corps would say "oh, no, no, no, this was a sign of respppppppppppppect to Japan (sic)."
The Japanese are not and were not fools. They saw right through Obama in the November Tokyo Bow, and their initial reactions have been spot on now with the way Obama treated both Japan and China in two very clearly and different ways in D.C. the other day. It is not lost on most Japanese, I can assure you; as much as they were essentially fools--due to irresponsibility of their news media to broadcast any objection to the image of Obama in 2008-- in the beginning when they too drank the koolaid along with 50% of the voting US populace and foolishly went in with this "hope" and "change" nonsense. Now they regret it.
No, no, no! I have many slideshows of him and he often bends over double. He deliberately chooses WHEN he wants to bow. Then he snubs the Europeans.
It would be no surprise to see the Kowtowing lead to a nuclear strike in the mid-east within weeks or months.
If Ozawa really wanted to give Hatoyama a chance to succeed, he would retire and go play golf somewhere away from the cameras. But he won’t.
Hatoyama is his toy and by golly he is going to be on hand to pull the strings whenever he so desires.
Or, at least, that’s the way my Japanese friends see it.
It’s Takeshita and Kanamaru all over again. They’ve seen the movie before.
Obama is doing his best to see we are all in trouble except him. In the end; however, he will be the one in trouble.
Bowing in Japan is an art and a science. If you don’t know how, you are better off not even trying because if you do it wrong, you will (at best) be considered a amiable idiot.
I bow, and I am sure you do to, but I have 24 years of experience here telling me when it is appropriate, and how to do it. Even then, I am sure I am only in the general percentage of where I should be and probably get it wrong to degrees.

Yup potlatch
Bows to tyrants and terrorists
Insults Whitey and our loyal Allies
Obama will be held personally responsible for any attacks here on the USA and any troops we lose overseas because of his Rules Of Engagement and cutbacks of weaponry, ammo, planes, ships, troop strength
[Bows to tyrants and terrorists]
If it weren’t for the Japan bow we could say he bows to muslims and communists. That one is a puzzle.

The Japanese know Obama is a fool - and they know they cannot depend on Obama to work with them on strategic defense
“You (He) lie(s)!”
.
LOL potlatch!
Great stuff!
I’ll have to make up a “You Lie!” .wav on my voice sythesizer!
He is just trying to show a brave face in front of his hosts.
Or something.
Thanks. I have so many gifs that I forget what I have. Have trouble even finding stuff because there’s so much. Maybe need to clean out the old but the minute I do something appears that could ‘use’ it, lol.
