How low can he go? Obama bends almost double as he bows to Japanese royalty
Daily Mail ^ | November 14, 2009 | Sara Nelson

Standing at over six foot in height, Barack Obama had to bow deeply as he paid his respects to the diminutive Japanese Emperor Akihito.

But the comical sight, which saw the President bend almost double, will no doubt earn him nods of approval in Japan, where a low bow is a sign of great respect and deference.

Obama met the emperor and Empress Michiko at the Imperial Palace today, a stop on his nine-day Asian tour that will also see him take in Singapore and China.

There’s a lot going on here in Obama’s mind.

1) He’s humiliating AmeriKKKa.

2) He’s showing off his collegiate Red Diaper Baby anthropological “sophistication.” He’s showing the world what it means to be “sensitive” to the cultural practices of “indigenous peoples.”

Meanwhile, the Emperor is laughing at the rube from the sticks.

I don’t mind when Obama trashes America when he is overseas. I just mind when he comes back.

Obama, stay in Japan or China, or Venezuela . . .take an extended vacation.

This pair of traitorous quislings are in over their Marxist heads, and the whole world knows it.

Except of course, American Obot idiots...

Actually, I think Michelle (baby-murdering b#tch) got a bum rap on that one; the Queen put her hand on Michelle’s back first. If the Queen doesn’t want to be touched, she should keep her hands to herself.

I can’t understand why Obama is so popular all over the world and Cheney is so disliked. Cheney knew how to behave. Maybe the world just likes black people.

Cuddling up to (can't say the N-word)?

Maybe the world just likes black people.

Something that would enrage a white supremacist.

The very first thing I thought, when seeing his skinny arse in th air was that he was trying to cover the pathetic bow to his Islamic bow to the King of Saud...

This is so obviously phony, and it is frightening that he chooses such fools for advisors. Granma was right. You CAN judge a man by the company he keeps. Obama wouldn’t know good advice if it bit him there!

“I can’t understand why Obama is so popular all over the world and Cheney is so disliked. Cheney knew how to behave. Maybe the world just likes black people.”

It’s human nature to like someone who is no threat to you, someone who is not as smart, handsome, well dressed, etc. because it makes you feel superior. Obama serves that position well. Cheney was obviously equal or superior to those he met.

“Obama wouldn’t know good advice if it bit him there!”

Yup, doesn't it give you that warm and fuzzies, that this DumbArse will be making decisions on A-stan, nuclear treaties, cap and trade, Obowmacare, etc., etc.? Too bad I live in a major metro area, otherwise I'd be laughing at this sorry excuse of an American President.
