UNITED STATES PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA BOWS TO JAPANESE ROBOT
Breitbart Big Peace ^ | April24 | CHARLIE SPIERING

TOKYO (AP) — The voice was slightly halting, childlike. "Welcome to Miraikan, Mr. President, it is a pleasure to meet you."

President Barack Obama bowed, looking delighted.

His greeter, after all, was a 55-inch-tall, give or take, humanoid robot with the look of a diminutive Star Wars storm trooper.

"It's nice to meet you, too," Obama said, pausing to watch the robot, named ASIMO, perform during a tour of the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

During his visit to Tokyo, President Obama had a chance to meet ASIMO, a Japanese humanoid robot. ASIMO, an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, exchanged bows with the president before demonstrating that it could kick a soccer ball. "How about that, that was pretty impressive," Obama marveled after the demonstration. Later, during a meeting with students Obama mentioned his meeting with ASIMO. “We saw some truly amazing robots -- although I have to say the robots were a little scary,” he said. “They were too lifelike.

Why not? The robot would make a better POTUS.

I realize he was just light-heartedly clowning around, but stop it. Be an adult for 15 minutes a year minimum.

ASIMO for President:

He can kick a ball.

He can read a teleprompter.

He was 'born' in a foreign country.

Hell, his teleprompter DOES make a better president.

(On the other hand, we only “think” that it is Valarie Jarrett who is programming his teleprompter. Can’t be Putin. Obama’s administration is making too many mistakes for it to be run by anything connected with the KGB.)

It’s Japan. Bowing is the custom. Now, as long as the robot bowed deeper than Obama, no biggie.

Depends on his bow. A normal bow is a sign of respect and peace. However, Obama’s recent bows have mostly all been the submissive kind (bowing too low). He’s either an idiot, has the worst PR team in the history of American Presidents, or both.

I’m guessing it’s both.

Speaking of robots:

Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says,”168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.

The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about Nascar, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.

The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”
