OK, here is footage of the whole incident, including the arrival by limousine. Link may be good for only a short time and expire shortly, may not play on all PC systems:

Japanese news reports "fukubuka to ojigi shimashita", or "a deep, deep bow" but avoided any kind of editorialization. I kind of thought he looked rather awkward in international diplomatic culture/protocol affairs as a result of this video from JNN News.

That footage is amazing. Even after the big, deep bow he bobs up and down in a half-dozen mini-bows afterward, as if to make sure there’s no near-equal reciprocation.

omg...that was truly hilarious..and disgusting at the same time. How many times did that clown bow his head.

What a fool.

Has anyone ventured over to Dummie land to see if they think their President is an idiot?
