oooooh, we have got to spread this link/video into every inbox in America —— it is unanswerable for all except the most blinkered Demagogues......

See Obozo and fellow libs are so accustomed to performing fellatio on their knees that this seems like a very “stand up” position for their guy. They don’t consider it groveling when it’s a “cross cultural experience” for soft-headed leftists.

Just about the only way Obozo has to de-fang this as a devastating 2012 campaign ad against him is to bomb the #$#$# out of Iran..... it’s not in his squishy leftist DNA to do that, but once he recognizes that he is on the verge of being a one-term president anyway he may decide upon one grand throw of the presidential dice to try to make everything to date seem like “ancient history”

not saying that I look at all these vital world issues mainly in electoral terms, simply that Obozo and his advisors are going to wake up one day soon and realize that everyone knows the Obozo has No Clothes -— the Chicago gang won’t be willing to slink away quietly, so watch for attempts at dramatic “game changers” abroad and at home.

My grandfather had one of those birds when I was little and I LOVED IT!

I don’t want to ruin my fond memories so I’ll say that the bird looks far more dignified than Zero!

I know I know I have fond memories of this bird somehow.... as a child was there one made of wood and screws and it bobbed? As old as the romper room stick horses.

MacArthur? Not sure it was him. Regardless, that’s correct, it was believed that the Emperor could not be entirely removed without postwar violence, but he was demoted from deity, and made even more of a figurehead than he had previously been. It was also the Emperor who finally got some backbone and told the Japanese high command that he had to pass his kingdom on to his son and that if the war continued, there wouldn’t be any kingdom to pass. :’)

Yes! And feathers on the tail, but my grandpa’s had a hat just like the one in your post. Oh my aunt used to make us stick horses with socks. So cute!

He could hardly have been more offensive if he’d bowed in the opposite direction and farted in the Emperor’s face.

Zer0bama clearly wants to wreck America's position in the world. Please don't give him any further ideas.

Clueless.
The man is completely clueless.”

I think not! I believe there is a calculated method to his madness. There is a plan to denegrate and destroy America
This is just part of the plan. Seems to me the pace has begun to pick up some!!

I wish he were just stupid!

It is protocol for the Hussein Admin. to be submissive to other world leaders. That’s the way they see it, anyway.

Ya know, I think I like the Czar of Protocal or whatever he’s called. The more faux pas he makes, the more his classless stupidity is waved in front of his voters’ noses. America and stand up to ridicule from the world, but Hussein’s ego won’t be able to stand much more.

“A superior addressing an inferior will generally only nod the head slightly (some may not bow at all), while an inferior will bend forward slightly from the waist.”
