Somebody tried to nail them down on "the Tokyo bow", when they were at their next stop in Singapore. They just sluffed it and laughed it off.

There was a question from the US Press Corps traveling with the White House, very important in my mind, as to if Obama got some protocol advice along these lines to do it. Their answer would tell is a) State Department incompetence--or maybe even a "set up", or b) deliberate effort by Obama to humiliate the USA on the world stage through imagery.

And yet, they laughed off the question.

Or maybe it was one of those "we will have to get back to you on that" kind of Gibbs-thangs. They never did address this. To me it is a pivotal question.

To me it is a pivotal question.

But it's not the kind of question that this press corps is prone to asking. Nor is it the kind of question this administration is keen on answering.

Accordingly, like all "pivotal questions" about this administration, it will remain unanswered (if not unasked).

Three...more...years...of...this...crap.
