Here is video of Karl Rove tonight talking to Sean Hannity about President Obama's conduct on his overseas trip to Asia.
Rove agreed with former Vice-President Dick Cheney, who said:
"There is no need for an American President to bow to anyone. Our friends and allies don't expect it, and our enemies see it as a sign of weakness." - Dick Cheney
Rove said a slight nod would have been seen as respectful, but the low bow to the waste was not viewed as needed or appropriate by the Japanese or others. Rove pointed out that if it is appropriate to bow to Emperors or royalty, why didn't Obama bow to the Queen of England? Rove said they ought to at least be consistent.
On Obama's "town hall" meeting, Rove said Obama caved to the Chinese and allowed the crowd to be hand-picked as a bunch of Communist Party activists. He said formerly, Presidents Clinton and Bush insisted on meeting with average Chinese people.
On the decision to bring 9/11 conspirators to New York for a civilian trial, Rove said this puts Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on a world stage to inflame sentiment in the Jihadist world. Rove said this is a "bad decision for the security interests of the United States." . . (VIDEO)

obama bows, because he is not worthy of the office he holds

Obama's exaggerated bow ridiculed the ancient Japanese custom.
I think they have that figured out.
BTW, this guy is so anti-Asian it's almost unbelievable.

Well, since I don't expect a E1, Prvt to bow to a, say, five star. Then no President bows. Unless of course he's a total limp wrist fagoo .....

The president of the USA can show good protocol with the Japanese Emperor and nod slightly while shaking the hand.
To bow low like he did was a sign of subservience like he was a citizen of Japan bowing before the Emperor. What a dingbat that Zero as One.

Yep. You would not necessarily need to read Korean, to know that was Mac allright. ;-) The little Japanese boy behind Emperor Hirohito in that one is Crown Prince Akihito at the time (bowing). Of course, the Koreans are playing on irony here, what with Obama of the Superpower U.S.A., bowing like that later to Emperor Akihito 64 years later.

...but the low bow to the waste... I'm surprised our grammar Nazis didn't catch that, though when dealing with 0bama waste may be accurate.

Has Obama even gone to South Korea yet? I would imagine South Korea would be a stop or is he snubbing them?
