Michelle Obama has had an awkward start to her visit to Japan as she was pictured towering over Emperor Akihito and stumbling as she tried to bow, shake his hand and curtsey at once.
The First Lady, dressed in a florid combination of a blazer and skirt, dwarfed the Emperor in her silver stilettos, while he maintained his composure and smiled politely. She then squatted slightly while shaking his hand, seemingly trying to disguise the difference of height between them.
Mrs Obama, who is 5ft 9in tall, also caused embarrassment earlier in the day when she grabbed Akie Abe, wife of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in a hug-and-handshake combination while the Japanese First Lady was trying to bow.

I can’t imagine she could stand to be told what to do by the protocol officers, even in the gentlest way possible. She thinks that she knows best, about everything, so she probably doesn’t even get advised by them anymore.
Oh no there goes Tokoyo!
Tokyo
Yes I know, but you’d think someone would have
suggested wearing flats.
“Why is she wearing curtains,” you ask? Coz’ she saw “Gone with the Wind” and thought it was a hell of an idea.
Maybe they did, and have in the past. MO doesn’t seem to accept anything approaching criticism very well.
“Nice to meet you. Goonie Goo Goo”
I can't take another 2 years of this moronic crossdresser and her homo husband!
She looks taller than 5’9”, and not just because of these pics. She’s always seemed taller than that to me.
I bet the last person that made a helpful suggestion like that isn’t working at the White House anymore.
How I miss the days when we had a pretty, GRACEFUL First Lady in Laura Bush. (sigh)
I don’t know, I feel kind of sorry for them.
I mean, could you imagine being the person responsible for dressing that thing and trying making it look good at the same time?
There is a very compelling youtube feature on the possibility that Mrs Obama is a man.

You can’t take the ghetto out of some folks.
And The First Lady of The United States of America, representing our nation overseas, is dressed like a clown.
They've embarrassed us so many ways over the years, I should have developed some sort of immunity or tolerance by now. But I haven't.
She seems taller than 5’9”.
She’s gotta be 2-3 inches taller than that.
