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.

The other video is so busy I found another one just like it.
I guess the WH think tank of Rahm the idiot did not see this video before they released the protocol crappola talking point.

LOL imagine bumbling Gibbs answering this tomorrow. Will our media tell him it is NOT protocol.
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.
Well, they’ll need a scanning electron proctoscope to find Zero’s noggin...
SIDE NOTE: I put the topic politics/elections in because he is on a never ending campaign.
Good Point bump! ;-)
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.
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?
The man is completely clueless.
And complete take over of our subways/transportation and cool-aid stands.
That “senior administration official” is dishonest.
Other heads of state do not bow to the Emperor. This was a big faux-pas by Obama.

The Emperor’s wife looked at zero like he was a crazy man.
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.
