Mrs Obama, who is 5ft 9in tall,
My impression was that Obama was shorter than his wife,
he must really BE a dwarf.

There's nothing rude about being tall. However, this: stumbling as she tried to bow, shake his hand and curtsey at once and hugging Mrs. Abe would have been avoided if she had asked the State Department's local protocol adviser to explain the appropriate etiquette.

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.
To: traumer
Why are American citizens bowing to anyone? If it is not my Lord Jesus I am not bowing. These people are so stupid.

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.

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???
To: traumer
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.
