Well bowing to the emperor in Japan is a privilege. It is a tradition which goes back thousands of years. As Westerners, we are excluded from that relationship, unless there is a genuine relationship which has to do with the wider implications of Universal Monarchy, the idea of Chakravartin, or the general idea that the emperor is a direct connection between heaven and earth, as is the intrinsic belief of all Japanese in the Shinto tradition.Some foreignors have that reationship , but they are very few.
Its engrained in every Japanese , more or less.
It is more than presumptuous of Obama to demonstrate that he has that relationship , with a false wannabe bow. It is in fact insulting to Japan, and to the United States.
It's actually quite revulsive.
Yeah, it is pissing me off, too, the more I am thinking about it and the more I am going back to the pics for repeat views.
