Politico: A senior administration official said President Barack Obama was simply observing protocol when he bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko upon arriving at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Saturday.

As another FReeper pointed out. The sheik is on the ranch and was being led by Bush because he is nearly blind.
Actually, he was laughing at what a buffoon barry is. I'm sure he was amused to see it with his very own eyes.
YEah, I’m betting if that dude called Hillary in and tried to give her a piece of his mind she’d just laugh in his face and say FU at this point. I think Hill has about had it up to here with these people, and frankly I like her better when she’s pissed off. That’s one reason I thought she might make a half decent president, better than mccain, because she is one ornery byeitch when crossed.

You are not Asian. I believe you to be a liar and a troll.
Wow...I never knew that bowing had so many different meanings...
“Bowing has many functions in one. It expresses the feeling of respect, thanking, apologizing, greeting, and so on. It’s a convenient and important custom for you to learn. You can bow, when you say, “Thank you”, “Sorry”, “Hello”, “Good bye”, “Congratulations”, “Excuse me”, “Good night”, “Good Morning”, and more.”
“...there are different ways of bowing. It depends on the social status or age of the person you bow to. If the person is higher status or older than you are, you should bow deeper and longer. It is polite to bow, bending from your waist.”

Exactly ONE post since he “signed up” a whole day ago. That one. Nuttin’ before it and nuttin’ after it. If he’s real, he better come out or we might think...well, who knows what we might think.
For sure he won’t post as just an idiot. justanotherat maybe. Which is most likely the case.
Great slide show...
Thanks - #107 was telling... very telling.
Perhaps not so different culturally. The royal couple can be seen to go bolt upright, perhaps even draw back from the bow almost imperceptibly. At the same time, desiring to show royal grace, much like the Queen of England, they smile and attempt to be polite. But they clearly know what they're dealing with.
According to Chinese Media, the Obama in Chinese Obama Red Soldier t-shirt (below) is said to be the "hot" item right now, followed in popularity by the shirt behind it -- the Obama Mao (OBA MAO) shirt: |
Speaks volumes, doesn't it?
I posted what I think. I do wish he would have stuck around, could have been fun.
He wore a MAO SUIT????? That’s almost worse than the fellation of the Japanese Emperor.
OmiGAWD, that is so weird. Right after he announced him as CoS, like last December, I printed a picture of that little jewish fellow out and wrote “CAPO” across it, like he was a gangster. I was going to create a rogues gallery of them but never got around to it. The “CAPO” picture is still on my bulletin board.
What exactly is a MAO Suit and why does one wear one?
So far, the WH basement dweller has only one post, just one, and that made to defend his affirmative action bastard oval office squatter.
Looks very gay . : )
Is this the same protocol Zero and Michelle followed when they met the Queen of England?
OK. actually, I can picture W dressed in something like that and looking just flat TERRIBLE. But then, I never suspected him of being a closet muslin terrorist marxiss communiss.
