This is respect:

No, no. Obama didn't 'bow' to the Emperor.
You huys have it all wrong. This is what really happened...

'Yo Barry, your fly is open.'

'Oh ...Dammit! Not again.?'

See, not a bow.
Just checking his zipper.

As an obviously inexperienced idiot, Zero does what his lacky's tell him to do.

"Ah, Mr. President, you are about to meet the king of Jongaland. The correct greeting is to tug your left earlobe while hopping on your right foot. Got that? Want to practice a couple of times before you meet him? That's it...you got it."

I can just picture it. MORON!!

Obowma gets lots of “bowing” practice having silverback Manschelle around, she’d pull his arm off and beat him with the bloody end if he didn’t.

There! I found my contact lens.

“The Japanese emperor is very short.”

And our president is very low.

I was wondering if he is actually going to pull this bowing act IN china. I mean,is he going to be this submissive to the Red Chinese as well. And if he does, then what? I mean they take this stuff seriously even if we don’t.

He’d might as well have given them a Samurai DVD pack.

Hey that would be way cool (Poorly dubbed Jap TV turned Australian school playgrounds into Death Grounds back in the 60s)
