Oh whatever, we all know how buddy buddy the Bushes are with the Sauds - remember Bandar Bush? I just figured holding hands has a different connotation in the arab culture, and the king was like “hold my hand, Bushie”, and what was W going to do, say NO?

A grey top with nehru collar - just what he was wearing. Mao used to wear one, and NOT to wear one was counter-revolutionary. Besides, this was the dictatorship of the proletariat. Nobody needed to be wearing garish bourgeois clothing. A gray suit, maybe two of them just in case, that was all a good communist revolutionary needed. Or could afford for that matter. Surprised you didn’t know any of that. Google Mao SUit. You’ll see.

I love people who say that he has turned gray since in office....because of working so hard. How do we know that he didn’t dye his hair during the campaign in order to appear younger?

Why do some people here act so childish? Do they not have a life?

Then there is the bow when you fall in love. Thats a very esoteric one.You might call it the unrequited bow, full of capped passion. Ever see a volcano bow? You get the idea.

I have a friend who is from Japan and when I asked about this she said only On no.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
She knows exactly what it means for all of Asia. A WEAK OBAMA, and Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, up for attack and economic warfare from North Korea and the Chinese.
Obama is pretty stupid for someone who claims he is a Pacific Home boy.( Which is pure myth, we really don't know very much about him in fact, just a cut out created image.)
He certainly knows little or nothing about Asia or Japan.

No, bowing. As in "Rei." You talked about ALL those kinds of communications, but of course your page reference does not talk about one of the most important aspects of bowing communication. ( Touching in public between men and women is almost prohibited , its all in the bow). Sorry I messed up.

He picked out a puppy and that wasn’t even hard it was given to him. Oh and what to wear on date night with lard ass.
To: mojitojoe
That is exactly how I pictured him and the ones in Eric Holder’s office trolling for money.
To: ichabod1
they must either have expelled everyone who knows the right thing to do, or they dont meet with them or listen to them, or this moolie just goes off and does what ever he wants even knowing better because he just cant resist shooting the finger, insulting people. Obambi doesn't listen, nor does he care. The verbal blunders he makes aren't accidental, he really doesn't remember or know any better, nor does he want to listen to any brief. The fix is in---he just doesn't want to be bothered. A good example was when he introduced the Indian as a medal of honor holder, and he gave him the medal of freedom, 2 weeks before. He wasn't paying attention then or now, and isn't interested anyway.

A drafting compass would have been a 'handy' thing to have with him at that angle!!
I took mechanical drawing as an elective my senior year in high school. I was the only girl in the class, also was the neatest and most precise, lol.
