a deeply ingrained habit in him
__________________________________________

He spent some very important formative years emerged in the Moslem faith, home lifestyle, schooling, culture, mindset 24/7/365..

he would have very little of the experiences American boys have at those ages...

I’m sure corporal punishment went with the training...

Islam was drummed into him..

His favorite sound remains that din at sunset...

He reverts back to his Moslem roots so easily...too easily...

Its 2nd nature with him...

he doesnt think like a Westernized man...

Ah, this boy is not the descendant of slaves...

His fathers family were in the slave trade...

His Moms family owned slaves...

That is my first impression, it was to simply say hey look I do this all the time.

Yes, I’ve heard that. But I’ll bet if you go back far enough, and not too far at that, you’ll find slaves; bowing comes too naturally to him.

At least this numbskull acknowledges some reality.

“Obama could receive some frowns back home as he did for his not-quite-this-low-or-maybe-about-the-same-bow to the Saudi king not so long ago.”

What idiotic writing.

This is visibly evident more and more each day.
He is NOT naturally or in his core: American.

AIT: I just thought of his ‘trusted’ Sec. of State.

Seems odd she wouldn’t accompany him on this
international trip .. and a purposeful omission.

And congratulations, Stanley Ann, Stanley Sr. and Madelyn.

You achieved wild success in your mission of
creating this anti-American, radical fellow
traveler.

Wouldn’t want to be where you are.

“Calling himself “America’s first Pacific President” during a 40-minute address, Mr Obama said: “I want every American to know that we have a stake in the future of this region, because what happens here has a direct effect on our lives at home.”

That’s what they said originally about FR and Dan Rather’s phony Bush documents. But we ended up being the spark that ignited an immense prairie fire, and even brought the man down, so don’t give up hope. The word will get out. The picture is worth a thousand words, and that is what the American People will be able to grasp. Believe me, I think Savage, Hannity, Levin, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Beck and many others are going to bring this up with a passion on Monday there in the USA. By then Obama will have committed other idiotic faux pas and outrages all throughout the Asian region. First Asia-Pacific President? First Laughing-stock President all throughout Asia-Pacific!!

It's a photoshop. Here's the original showing Zero had to bend to shake hands with the very short Emperor.

100% fully agreed. You hit it on the head. He could care less about America and is a very unpatriotic man. Did the American people see this/discern this last November? WE all knew it here!

Agreed. We have been footing that bill for far too long in not only treasure, but in the butchers bill.

Thats quite a laugh! Two groups of incredulous people on both sides of the Pacific are thinking the same.

Well then the superior man would invest in a currecny which has good worh but not tied to this cycle. It is interestingthough that China is buying a lot of gold, not through government purchase, but throuohg millions of small purchhases by citizens. The government advized people to buy gold, and they are. This in part is why the price of gold escaped the control of its Western bankers, whi are scambling to keep up to minimize that trend, by sellinng gold, but the west is running out of it. India is also doing that.

Which nation has the most gold? Perhaps that is where to put ones money. Cnada , for example, has tremendous untapped gold resources, laying in the ground.Silver companies make good investments these days as well.The demand is going up and soon there will be a cyclic crash
as the dollar and yuan further weaken, in about 30 to 40 days, which will provide an excellent opportunity to buy into silver.Three months ago silver was at 13.70 USD. per ounce, now it runs between 17.00 and 17.80.I like Candian silver companies’ equities that stock pile their metals, they are like small banks.
