I though Americans do not bow to members of royalty?
The King of Saudi Arabia, and now the Japanese Emperor? And as the LA Times points out …. there was no reciprocal bow from the Emperor.
Contrary to some claims, the video shows no reciprocal bow by the emperor, who traditionally bows to no one. And we’ve added a file photo from 2007 of Vice President Dick Cheney greeting the Japanese Emperor in the same door way in a different fashion.
And all the Queen got was an ill advised pat on the back. I guess when it comes to Royal respect, it depends on how much control you have over American purse strings. You can play along with me. I counted 6 bows, but in truth I lost track.

Did he give the Emperor DVDs..like the did the Queen?

Why is it, that just when I think the Oblahblah can’t do anything more to annoy me...
HE DOES?!
Obowma..what a dunce. What have we done? We have the modern day King Saul. It ended badly for him. I predict the same for our New King Saul.
The Dear Leader simply has no idea that the US is a nation among nations. You could even say he DOES believe in a KIND of American exceptionalism, the kind that holds us worse than every other nation on earth.
When he bows to kings and emperors, it would appear that, in him, all of us are made to bow or to seem as if we were bowing. And, indeed, he thinks we SHOULD bow, in apology.
But what he really shows is that he has no idea of what leadership is and does not consider himself an American. Whatever the birth certificate case may be, he is not an American in his heart. He is, almost literally, anything but.
Cross reference extensive Oriental ettiquette thread, and strategic ramificatons of the “bow.”

His obnoxious sycophancy with foreign potentates is bad enough, but it isn’t the worst thing.
I believe he actually expects the same butt-kissing obsequiousness from us to Himself, the guys wearing gowns and the congress critters.
Live Free or Die.

From your lips to God’s ears.

someone needs a Wikipedia
Perhaps the bows to Japan and the Saudis are in proportion to the amount of T Bills he needs to sell. Maybe we will see some big deferential sign to the Chinese. Genuflection, a curtsy, or even a boot-licking might be in order. He already has dissed the Dali Llama and essentially approved the annexation of Taiwan.
Seriously, I hope that the Chicoms tell Obama that if he passes Obamacare or enacts energy taxes, the Chicoms will dump even more of their dollars and stop buying US debt.
Americans don’t bow to anyone. Obama isn’t an American.
He’s an AINO
Maybe he just got used to bending over for Larry Sinclair?
He can bow down to KISS MY PATRIOTIC AMERICAN ASS! And I might add several women have said it’s a beauty!
Maybe he’s really just comparing foot size....black man in Japan..just sayin.
Groveler In Chief
The term "shuck n jive" comes to mind. With apologies.
I'll bet Cheney invited His Imperial Majesty to go hunting.
