Upon arriving at the palace, Obama greeted the emperor and empress with a deep bow and many subsequent smaller bows.

Here’s the easy way, go to my animation post. Click like you are going to post to me. When you have that page open, do a ‘view source’ and scroll down and see all of my html!!

I am not a thread poster either but I think you can also accomplish the above by highlighting the gif image, right click on that, click "view selection source" and a new window will open with the HTML of what you highlighted before highlighted. Then you can right click on that and copy the portion of HTML you need.

Did we know that Obama visited Japan in his youth? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All politics is personal, Obama signaled in his remarks to prominent Japanese.

During the opening of his remarks to officials, he cited his visit to Kamakura, Japan, as a young boy to see the great bronze Amida Buddha.

"And as a child, I was more focused on the matcha ice cream," Obama said to laughter. "And I want to thank Prime Minister Hatoyama for sharing some of those memories with more ice cream last night at dinner. ... I have never forgotten the warmth and the hospitality that the Japanese people showed a young American far from home."

Lol, maybe you are using a different browser. I use IE7 and you can’t highlight my slideshow gif above, and properties don’t show any ‘selection source’??

Yep, I use Firefox. ;-)

I can't figure out how to download and save animated gifs properly. When I view them they just flash wildly and sometimes freeze up my browser. Maybe it's the software I'm using to view them I don't know.

That’s interesting. Start searching on Google, lol. Just ask a question like I do and you’ll get the answer. “How do I save gif animation on Firefox”. You’ll get tons of info.

Where’s that damn Enola Gay when you really need it?.......>/i>

What, you wanna nuke DC? That seems a tad extreme. What did the critters at the National Zoo do to merit such treatment?

You can do a ‘view source’ by putting your cursor on the image and right clicking. Copy and paste the url into html. If you want it larger, get the sizes and increase the same amount on width and height.

Easiest of all is just to send the URL and they can click on it.

I found an easy was to get this animation is to right click and then send an email to myself.

From that point I can forward it to the world.

"Obama bowed so deeply it is almost as if he is apologizing for something wrong".

But it's not really an apology-apology unless he ritually cuts off part of his pinky...
