I’m inclined to agree with you.

Obama is stupid, but I don’t think he’s THAT stupid.

He bowed to cover up his earlier bow to the King of Saudi Arabia, guardian of the Holy Cities of Islam.

Because he’d rather have people think he made a silly mistake than think that he’s a Muslim—until it’s time to come out of the closet.

Never EVER has the President of t he United States “bowed’ to ANY other Head of State. DISGUSTING. This is not “protocol,” this is SUBMISSION.

White House Defends Obama’s Bow to Japanese Emperor as ‘Protocol’

The same pieces of crap that thought the Marine One helicopter model and the American DVD set were fine for the British Prime Minister? The White House is currently as qualified to judge protocol as Larry Flynt is. Even Clinton could recognize class, he never had any, but he could recognize it.

Get a pic of a deep bow to the Japanese guy, that will divert some heat from your/our Gitmo/Manhatten decision.

It just occured to me...as it is hard to keep up with their talking point lies...

They didn’t even TRY this time to deny it was a bow!

“signaling that America is second class!”

He’s speaks for himself, the dunce. He truly acts like an imbecile. He alone is second class and is a total embarrassment, isn’t he?

That “senior administration official” is dishonest.

Other heads of state do not bow to the Emperor. This was a big faux-pas by Obama.

Protocol would have been to lean slightly toward the Emperor to say hello, or whatever “the One” would say, and shake hands.

Only “subjects” bow to Royalty.

Once again, Obama has been exposed as the in-over-his-head amateur who is too arrogant to seek protocol advice and, instead, thinks that just “winging it” will suffice.

Really pathetic for a so-called citizen of the world.
