I guess the school yard bullies just mocked his ears and gave him swirlies and never got around to flicking his nose when told to look at that thing on the ground in front of him!

Thus, you have no answer to that. Obama’s bow was a submissive bow. The Nixon bow was nothing of the kind. You know it.
To: markomalley
A respectful head nod would have been sufficient Mr. President but not a bow like you did before the other guy. Also, don’t you have protocol showing you the way as other Presidents have had or...do you just like to do things your own way and then make a spectacle of yourself????

In Japanese terms, this was the kind of bow of a mentally defective ditch-digger would make before a Shogun.

He showed no respect to the College Professor when he walked down the steps of the White House and let the policeman “who acted stupidly” help the elderly Professor.

Obama's attitude was, this is an elderly gentleman in a country where this kind of greeting is customaryIt is not customary in Japan to bow so deep -- unless you are a street-sweeper.

You people just don't get it.
Anything Obama does is good.
He just instinctively knows the correct thing to do, at all times and under all circumstances.
He's just better than you. Get used to it.

I suspect 0 is too conceited to ask someone how to properly do something. And I suspect his protocol people are clueless - remember the ‘reset button’? Not to mention the gadzillion other protocol gaffs.

I saw the video on that. While it would still be technically a bow, he only bobbled his head, not a complete bow from the waist.

Why even post a reply? If you don’t have a response, the most sensible option would be to stop pointing out your ludicrous comparison between Obama’s submissive bow and Nixon’s head bow.
To: markomalley
"Speechless"?
Did the teleprompter break down again?

Yawn. I pointed out a FACT refuting a claim that makes conservatives look foolish. You became insulting. Such internet elitism bores me. Yawn.
