LOL.
Anyway, payback is a bitch.
Zer0 after a run on the US Dollar has run its course.
I don’t know starwise, I don’t think his back was straight enough.

Japanese news reports "fukubuka to ojigi shimashita", or "a deep, deep bow" but avoided any kind of editorialization. I kind of thought he looked rather awkward in international diplomatic culture/protocol affairs as a result of this video from JNN News.
I take from both of your answers to my last question that the social faux pas will stand out like a sore thumb to most all Japanese but if they have anything to say about the geopolitical ramifications in the press it will be subdued and limited to Japanese language press.
That will save our press from having to recognize reality. Again.
Was he more enthusiatic than he was for the fallen at fort hood?
Americans bow to no foreign leader. And American women don’t curtsy either, not even to the Queen. It is ion the State Department Protocol Handbook.
re: the Japanese. They are the most racist groupo of people I have ever encountered They absolutely hate black people, and aren’t too crazy about Caucasians either.
The only exception is the Pope.Catholics may bow to the Pope and kiss his ring.
Obama carries around his own wailing wall.
I bet Michelle whips him every night with a birch tree branch.
LOL.
Next will be a hair shirt and a crown of thorns.
I guess that makes him a shi'ite.
Obama wants everyone to forgive American history every since the Spanish American War.
'Forgive us, we were ignorant, a nation controlled by the eeeeevil blue eyed devils. I have changed that!'
Redefining history, the major mark of a Utopian National Socialist, one that our allies reject overwhelmingly.
His international apologia will be used to justify atrocity here at home,wait until his historic justice campaign reaches full swing domestically.It will be very ugly.
You are lucky to be well away from it.
Good point. When he was doing that “shout-out” thing, he was quite animated & enthusiastic; then when he talked about the shooting, it was as if all life had drained out of him, not so much because of the tragic content of what he was saying but because HE was no longer the FOCAL POINT of the discussion.
As for the bowing, granted he’s a GREENHORN about protocols with other heads of state, but doesn’t this guy have ANY ADVISORS who can advise him & M.O. on proper etiquette & protocol?
Thanks!
No , I wasn’t paying attention at the time.What was the trend?
It involved The Emperor so they will not publicly make a big noise about it.
But the private , subtle implications will be both widespread and unparalleled.
Well Tiger,maybe we will luck out and scoop the lot if them.
Int. White House. Foreign protocol office.
Advisor1: He’ll do whatever we say. Briefing book, teleprompter, whatever, he’s a puppet. (laughs)
Advisor2: Do you think he’ll actually BOW to the Japanese Emperor? It’s absurd.
Advisor1: It’s worth a shot. Remember, he bowed to the Saudi King. We’re dealing with a child.
Advisor2: If this works, he goes down on one knee and hands “the ring of peace” to Ahmadinejad. (laughing)
Goodnight and bless you all.
You know this fits in with this feeling I've been getting about 0ba-Mao for some time. He is apologizing and he is apologizing for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He feels it personally as if he represents the U.S. in a completely anthropomorphic sense. Not only at this time but for our entire history as if he is America embodied in himself.
My feeling is that he has been doing that with everybody. Of course in his lib/Marxist raised mind America should be apologizing to everybody. It is very weird and I don't quite know how to express it. Narcissism, man-child, self-proclaimed deity just don't fully cover it. It's almost like some child-like role playing thing that he fully buys into.
That is whats going on. China pegged the yuan to match the dollar regardless. Short memories abound.
Ah, I see. Thank you. That is a subtlety that I would not have seen.
I believe we (FR) have. ;-)
