As controversy spread of the “bow” heard round the world, President Obama sheepishly admitted in a Chinese press conference that his apparent subservient bow to Emperor Akihito was actually just an attempt for him to get a closer look at his malfunctioning shoe teleprompter.
“I’m tired of hearing all of the speculation about the bow,” said Obama. “So I’m just going to come clean and admit the truth. And the truth is that my staff provided me with a high tech teleprompter that is integrated into the top of my shoe and allows me to subtly glance down for my lines. It is much easier than hiring a staff to carry my teleprompters all over the world. Unfortunately, the damn thing malfunctioned and decreased the font size of the text to the point where I couldn’t read it. I was frozen, unsure what I was supposed to say next, who I was talking to, or even what country I was in. So I quickly bent over while shaking hands with this gentleman in order to read what I was supposed to say. I had no idea it would cause such an incident, but the technical glitch has been fixed, and I can read the shoe teleprompter just fine now.”

Forget the shoe gadgets. Just put a Cone of Silence over Bambi’s head whenever he speaks.

Heh.... Were it not for them being afraid to admit that he is nearly incoherent without his teleprompter, I wouldn’t be surprised if they WOULD come out with such an explanation.

Obozo is such an embarrassment that even the Japanese are embarrassed and horrified that he appeared to want to kiss the Emperor's toes.
OBOZO AND HIS ADMINISTRATION ARE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING WHEN IT COMES TO KICKING THEIR @SSES OUT OF OFFICE!

Zero is not bowing. He is looking for a rock of crystal meth he dropped on the ground. He is just pretending to bow.
