This clown has done more damage to the Black community than the KKK, the white supremacists or any of those other whackadoodle nut groups could ever do. Obama just needs to shut up, hide in the Oval Office and wait out his singular term.

So are they saying that every other world leader there did NOT follow protocol?

I agree with the sentiment you're expressing.

Obama is establishing the NEW protocol of the 21st century... the one where the United States takes its rightful place in the New World Order.

I cannot believe news stations are breaking in right now because 0bama is having a town hall in China. Valerie Jarret just arrived, Are they insane? Like any of the questions won’t be controlled or is this how 0bama likes this? He is such a communist tool.

This guy is an idiot. But the bright side . . when he is bowing to foreign nobility, he is NOT in DC twisting the arms of Congress to pass his Marxist agenda. Maybe the world laughs, and rightly so, but we the taxpayers get another day or two of relief.

Are we slipping in our research here people? This is the Forum that helped get Dan Rather fired from CBS for lying about fake documents.

I believe it is from May 25, 2009, same as these pictures...

Question: Is anyone on “our side” perchance checking the videos of obama and his administration on a daily basis and reading the lips of these scumbags, in order to glean what they are saying...isn't this what agents do to subversives?

Help Wanted: a conservative who reads lips, and wishes to serve the United States of America.

Next they’ll tell us kissing the Emperor’s arse is protocol.

Oh wait, that’s what this was.

Obama and company don’t know diddly about protocol.

That was great. Expose the lefties to their world class joke.

Sooner or later, they’ll see this bumpkin for what he is.

They won’t tell us, but between themselves, there’s gonna be a whole lot of IMing going on.

My mother taught me as a little girl that we do not have to rise or curtsy for the Queen, and she’d always have something to say about movie stars or other Americans who would kowtow in some way.

GREAT video by the UConn College Republicans!!!

Obozo....is there anyone in this country who is more of a buffoon & dumb ass that 0bozo is???

I really do think that thee leaders of nations throughout the world are laughing themselves silly over 0bozo silly antics. As Rush says so accurately, 0bozo really is nothing more than a man-child -- immature, self-centered, inexperienced, petulant, narssistic, arrogant, self-pride!!!

Uhmmm, just one wrong thing with what you said. The Japanese, along with other Asian cultures, are beginning to move to our way of thinking. The bow is by no means a showing of submission. In fact, in the video I see the receiver of the bow to be quite happy that the bower (Obama) actually knows their customs.

Any Asians on this thread to back me up? For the most part they have tried to meld their customs with our. To get a bow and hand shake at the same time is no slap in the face to them but rather a meeting of two different ways of thinking. Since I am Asian I have found that bowing while shaking the hand of someone seems to please them quite a bit since they realize I am taking their culture into account.

Bet you will never see an Aussie bow before a Japanese Emperor.

You will never see an American bow before a Japanese Emperor either.

Obama is doing these things to wear the American people down. It’s a game with him. I do agree he is probably the most low class, humilating and moranic POTUS we have ever had.
