At post 1113, "Nanashi" says:
"I also never thought the American President would bow (to the Emperor). Considering all the ruckus that was raised when he bowed like that to the King of Saudi Arabia in April"

And another one:
The same poster, "Nanashi" says:
"So the American President was able to give that kind of bow...., OK, I can see where his stock will rise a bit, but then on the other hand, it scares me..."

Yes, the emperor is laughing at him
Look, this tells me that obama has been a muslim for much of his life- this bow is so typical. It must be a deeply ingrained habit in him

If he bowed like that to the Japanese, I can only imagine what he did to the Chinese (Larry Sinclair comes to mind)

So glad that they see what we see. You know the reports have to be filtering back to dear leader. Surely he’s being told of the public reaction to his performances.

“One of three possible reasons, which have all been speculated on earlier on this thread:
1. Covering for his bow in Saudi Arabia
2. Apologizing for being American
3. Too stupid to know better, or listen to advisors who know better ...”
Or a 4th, reverts to habits acquired during many years as a a muslim, when meeting a higher power to whom he would show submission

The man cannot be that stupid. You say this with full knowledge that Obama wants to implement Cap & Trade and "Health Care Reform" which are both known job killers, during the worst recession since the great depression.
In short, YES, he is that damn' stupid.
