The Japanese emperor is very short.
Secret Service: “Ahem, Mr President, Mecca is to your left.”
Being the “most intelligent President evah”, hasn’t done too much for his learning ability, has it?
Obama is simply not a very bright man, and he is too intellectually lazy to do the remedial learning he clearly needs to do to know how a President is supposed to behave. This is just another in a long list of mistakes we should expect from a man who had none of the qualifications serious countries look for in a President.
Regarding the pic, this is what the LAT had to say:
“This photo will get Democrat President Obama a lot of approving nods in Japan this weekend, especially among the older generation of Japanese who still pay attention to the royal family living in its downtown castle. Very low bows like this are a sign of great respect and deference to a superior.”
But it is my understanding that it would elicit the exact opposite response. The older Japanese who “still pay attention” regard bowing to the emperor as a privilege and would regard an upstart non-Japanese who clearly feigned respect by not understanding their custom at all, less than favorably.
If I am wrong on this, someone please correct me.
Having said that, it also represents a huge loss of face for America. obama is a disgrace and an embarrassment everywhere he goes.
I just figured it out! It’s now a bow! They are in a friendly match of strength! The Emperor, small as he is, is putting obama down to the ground with a VERY strong hand. LOL Not!
Get up obama, you look like a subservient tool!
