Japan expert to ABC: Yes, Obama’s bow made him look like an idiot

So much of an idiot, in fact, that according to Tapper’s source, at least one Japanese paper isn’t running the photo out of embarrassment. This tool actually groveled himself into a minor international incident.

The good news for O-bots? It wasn’t unprecedented. Nixon evidently made a modest bow to Hirohito in the early 70s. The bad news?

“Obama’s handshake/forward lurch was so jarring and inappropriate it recalls Bush’s back-rub of Merkel."

“Kyodo News is running his appropriate and reciprocated nod and shake with the Empress, certainly to show the president as dignified, and not in the form of a first year English teacher trying to impress with Karate Kid-level knowledge of Japanese customs."

“The bow as he performed did not just display weakness in Red State terms, but evoked weakness in Japanese terms….The last thing the Japanese want or need is a weak looking American president and, again, in all ways, he unintentionally played that part."

No comparison with Nixon’s head nod. The Dems will trot this out in a futile attempt to cover up this major diplomatic blunder.

Nixon may have made a “modest bow”, but Sheik Obama folded up like a pocket knife.

Somebody has hacked into ABC.com and replaced their content with real news stories.

Why else are they reporting the "saved jobs" fiasco, and now this ...

They may very well have simply given him bum advice: “Be sure to hunch way the hell over and stare at the ground. They all do it that way.” For another thing, and somewhat notably, Japan isn’t a stop on The One’s world apology tour.

This is pure BS. Obama did this on his own. No one would give him such advice from the Office of Protocol or at our embassy in Tokyo. I say that advisedly having served as Foreign Service Officer for 28 years.

That bow was a sniveling act of a subservient peasant to the Emperor.

I am mortified and ashamed of this idiotic president.

Wonder if he did it as a way of apologizing for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

“Every thing this clown does makes American look like a bunch of idiots for electing him”

So much for the 233 year protocol that said this nation bows to no one but God.
