What do the Japanese themselves think of the Bow?

Thanks for posting this AIT! It’s great to get your interpretation and translation from Japan! :)
As I joked before.......
‘Wow Bow’...but left his ‘Bow Wow’ at home (and I ain’t meaning the dog, BO).

I know you are aware of our Tea parties here in the states, I do believe it could be arranged as a “theme” in any public way to openly laugh at Obama, banners, bumper stickers, internet images etc, all with a common theme backed by over 100 million Americans...
All are laughing at Obama.
I applaud the nation of Japan they show and speak truthfully unlike a good portion of Americans that cower in fear against challenging Obama.

I ‘bow’ upon the entrance and exit to my dojo, to my sinsei, and to my sparring opponent (partner) out of ‘respect’....as just a small ‘courtsey’ from the waist. Nothing more...nothing less.
To: AmericanInTokyo
One of my pet peeves is when ignorant liberal Uber-honkies do that palms-pressed-together Thai bow thing for Japanese stuff —they think that bow is Japanese when it’s not.
I think maybe it was erroneously in Karate kid..?
I’m not a Mike Savage fun but he’s spot on when he describes this going on, usually at restaurants up in Marin (SF).
I really wish to God Obama had done THAT one, cuz liberals love it for some reason (they think it shows cultural sensitivity), and all Japanese can immediately identify it as a common mistake —I’ve only seen something **vaguely** like that prior to a Muay Thai even in Japan.

If this is in Japan and the faces are white, then it means, "I have NO IDEA about ANYTHING Japanese AT ALL" (this is a Thai gesture, although perhaps not exclusively..?)

The temptation is to laugh at this buffoon, but the problem is, this buffoon represents our country. The world is laughing at him—and at the country as a whole. How humiliating.
