We ESPECIALLY do not bow to the perpetrators of the Bataan death march and Pearl harbor.

[Arthur McGowan]

Thing is, that’s a perfect three-word summation of Obama’s foreign policy.

[Yes, Potlatch is a FR treasure!]

[Yes, she is! No doubt about that. ;-)]

Lol, my head is swelling, no wonder I have a headache!!
Thank you.

[TigersEye]

No head swelling. Just take your bows, potlatch. heh heh heh

[taxesareforever]

Wonder what it will take for all those who voted for this disgrace to admit they made a mistake.

[chiefqc]

He ALWAYS has his kneepads with him but they are for use out of the public view.

[RoadTest]

We fought a war to get out from under royalty and look at this clueless sap!

I think there was a cute Japanese boy just outside the picture that Obama was offering himself up to.

[Scotsman will be Free]

An inferior bows the lowest to his superior. Equals bow equally. Americans bow to no man.

[Ole Okie]

Does our buffoonish Dear Leader even realize that an American, General of the Army Douglas McArthur, made the decision, in conjunction with President Truman, to let the Japanese keep their emperor at the end of World War II?

Quite true. But Hirohito was demoted from being a god to just being sort of a sub-Emperor. It didn't set too well with some Americans, but the relief of having the war ended overrode all.

What this shows is that Obama is ANYTHING BUT a worldly sophisticate. He is a RUBE, a provincial, a “Beverly Hillbilly”—someone who has brought his provincial ways into the wider world, and is utterly tone-deaf. Obama’s tiny world is the collegiate hard left, the inbred, isolated world of Red Diaper Babies.

[Dick Bachert]

S’pose while he was down there he apologized for WWII??

[Arthur McGowan]

You’ll notice that the Emperor and most of the other world leaders are BOTH bowing—very slightly—just the way Americans do when shaking hands. Obama is a rube who is showing off his Red Diaper Baby roots. He’s thrilled to have the opportunity to show the whole world how much he wishes to humiliate his hated “home” country, the evil U.S.A.

[Jeff Chandler]

It’s been a tradition for more than 233 years.

I love you

[Yaelle]

but a deep bow, like he did, is saying, “I’m your bitch.”

Phrase of the Day Nominee!!!

[qwertyz]

As heads of states, they are peers. Japanese citizens (the Emperor’s subjects) bow. To appreciate the silliness of O’s photo-op subservience, imagine him—a non-Catholic—kissing the Pope’s ring. A handshake and a nod will do. This Presidency is four years of fingernails on a chalkboard.

[knarf]

not feet ......

[I love you ]

LOLOL! Eight years I've been here and never had that posted to me before. Hilarious.

Thanks knarf!
