That’s great! I’ve heard others say that before. Glad you ‘got it’.

...I have never forgotten the warmth and the hospitality that the Japanese people showed a young American far from home."

Good find.

So what was actually just stop-over on a flight to Indonesia is described as "his visit to Kamakura, Japan, as a young boy to see the great bronze Amida Buddha."

And this never-before mentioned familiarity with Japanese culture, including "the warmth and the hospitality that the Japanese people showed a young American far from home," is just another shovelful on the pile of biographical manure.

Yep. An airport stop-over, an icecream, a view from the ‘plane window...at six years of age; that’s all he knows about Japanese Culture.

The man is an utter fraud, a con-man, a lying muslim POS.

I tried looking it up but it looks more complicated than I thought. Try right clicking and see if you have the option to email it to yourself. Someone else just did that.

Thank you Potlatch. I just sent the animation to a world wide list. Hopefully, they know how to open a gif file.

Great work and what you did and the poster who originally posted the individual photos truly confirm that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Obama is such a doofus.

thanks for the ping, STARWISE.

Beckwith, zero was in Japan on a stop-over when he and his mother flew to Jakarta, when he was six years of age. That’s all he knows about Japanese Culture...he was there long enough to eat an icecream:

last paragraph.

Thank you, potlatch. I will figure it out it just takes me longer. First I have to remember that I can search for answers. Doh! ;^)

[potlatch]

Keep looking, there has to be a way. Good luck.

I just read the rest of that excerpt, while stifling the gag reflex.

For two years Barack and Ann lived with their baby in a small white house near the university campus.

Indeed they did not, since records show that he and his mother were living in Seattle shortly after his birth, that his putative father left Hawaii for Harvard when he was less than a year old, and there's no record or witness that Ann or the "baby" ever lived in that "small white house."

Part of my disgust with Taitz, Berg, etc. is that these facts -- which can be proved with actual records, and are major contradictions to the official mythological narrative -- have been buried by the publicity-seeking theatrics of the grandstanding "birth-certificate" lawyers, who have presented verifiable documented proof of absolutely nothing to date.

That is a keeper. Thanks to you and AmericanInTokyo.

[Fred Nerks]

I feel the same disgust, every article I read sounds like it came straight out of ‘Dreams’ - they follow the timeline like slaves.

Obama Sr left Hawaii on the 22nd of June, 1962 for a start, and that boy wasn’t anywhere near 2 years of age, if he was born in August 1961.

Strange discovery made only yesterday by a fellow Freeper who sent this link to me Freepmail:

Wouldn’t one be right to assume that if his ‘father’ attended Harvard, that Harvard Magazine would mention that? But no, not a word about the illustrious Barack Hussein Obama Sr.

At least he wasn’t as submissive to the Emperor’s wife—just a small bow.

[kabar]

“I am America’s first Pacific president...” I assume, by that statement he means, “I understand you. You can trust me” -— meanings that, because of the bow, must be regarded with deep suspicion by the Emperor.

Not really. Every speech he makes contains a reference to him. The world revolves around him. When he is in Europe, he must tell the audience that he doesn't look like other US Presidents.

[STARWISE]

Either that, or “I’m America’s first Pacific president...”

.......”because I lived with my Mommy, Stepdaddy and sister in Indonesia, attended a muslim school, and I love the sound of evening prayers. Then my Mommy left her 2nd husband because he was boring and not interested in the freespirited lifestyle and marxist activities she loved, she decided I needed to go live with my Grandma and Grampa in Hawaii, so I could get to know other Communists and learn how to lie better and talk about social justice. So, all this makes me your first American Pacific brother. Shaka.”

[STARWISE]

Could happen ..

[potlatch]

Thank you.

Bowing is a part of the Japanese culture. It’s a part of the greeting process. There is a protocol. If one is greeting a superior, I believe they are supposed to bow deeper than the person who holds the superior station.

Obama’s deep bow from the waist, seems to indicate he thinks the Emperor is the superior. If that is his vision, he is one lame son of a gun. These are two heads of state, unless Obama wants to grant him the old God status.

I would like to see others chime in on this, because I probably have it partially wrong.

[STARWISE]

Excellent montage, Pot!

It’s obvious, every other leader is a grownup
and has accepted their protocol briefings.
Whatta childish, deranged “LOOK AT ME” kook.

Thanks to all we’ve learned of the subtleties
of the Oriental culture on this thread, it’s
extremely worrisome.

How many parts of the world can be burning
at the same time?

[STARWISE]

Thanks! To #443 — did not know that.
