How many Heads of State bowed to Akihito?

As such, it is obvious this buffoon either has not solicited the advice of the State Dept protocol officers, or, they have told him the proper way to behavem and he has ignored it.

Don't blow their cover. The protocol officers are secretly in the pay of Karl Rove. Their mission is to make Captain Zero a laughingstock. Mission accomplished.

Your post took me aback somewhat. I certainly never meant to upset you in any way. I make slideshows all the time and naturally get the images where I see them.

So - I scrolled through the thread and just saved images, not noticing who posted any of them.

Have you ever made a slide show? I spent OVER two hours cropping and resizing images to the same exact size and to get the best effect. Not an easy task.

Then, because I forget, I went to Google and looked up the name of every one of those people to be sure WHO was a President, who was a Prime Minister and who is a King.

Then I spent much time doing the text work on each frame.
Then I had to decide the time delay to give the best results.

People here use images that others post all the time, redo them, alter them, etc. It just never occured to me that it would bother anyone and I apologize to you if it did.

I didn’t post until post #430, and I know everyone had seen and commented on your posts.

I commend you for the images you posted, I saw many when I was searching Google and found the Karzai image. Please realize the hours of work that I did.

Excellent work! Our joint work totals at least 4 hours!

We ought to get paid for this stuff! ;-)

[AmericanInTokyo]

No offense intended. Maybe I myself can do a "cyber bow". ;-)

Main point I guess is that this thing should and would go global and viral by Monday in the US to hit the US news cycle and talk shows--thanks to your organizing matters--and others pushing it to their lists. At least one hopes.

I was a bit cranky because I offered some insight yesterday on FR about this incident, and then I saw on FR 1/2 a day later, and elsewhere on the net my words almost literally lifted word for word and passed off as somebody else's thinking--I guess that's just the heat in the kitchen one can expect. Shoganai. No prob.

Thank you

Akhito greets Heads of state;

Awesome...make it go viral~!!

[potlatch]

I just saw THIS post from you AFTER I had posted the other one.

I understand “CRANKY” American In Tokyo, I know the feeling. My stuff gets hotlinked all over the place. The liberals post my stuff and tell others to ‘use up my bandwidth’, things like that.

Often we don’t get the credit we deserve. People don’t know the work and time spent.

I never intend to insult, or offend others. We are working together here.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yep. That's how I did it, too (as one method). Google Images, and then keywords "visits Akihito", or "visits Emperor of Japan" or "meets Akihito". We should have collaborated.

The bottom line is that NOWHERE can you find a head of state making a buffoon of himself as Obama did yesterday afternoon here in Tokyo. It is our duty to tell our fellow Americans and bypass the MSM in the process.

Thanks again Kim. Think I caught the ‘viral’, lol, it deflated me a bit.

[It is our duty to tell our fellow Americans and bypass the MSM in the process. ]

Yes, keep it up!!

[newnhdad]

Someone forgot to tell Obama he wasn’t Chinese..

[Chickensoup]

Could someone explain to me what the big deal is about Obama bowing to the leader of a different country? Why are my fellow FReepers upset about it?

We are Americans. We threw off the trappings of monarchies over two hundred years ago. All Americans stand free as citizens, and bow to no one.

Nancy Reagan’s bow and presentation to the Queen of England many years ago was an embarrassemnt. The Tool of the Current Regime has made two bows to heads of state. HE is a shame to all Americans.

“Lol, my head is swelling, no wonder I have a headache!!”

You’re a sweetie...and no more starin at the monitor for 2hrs! That will cause a headache..although I suspect it’s from lookin at the prez for so long. LoL

[potlatch]

[You’re a sweetie...]
Lol, I used to be. Think I’m getting ‘toughened’ up a bit.
I spend 4 to 8 hours on my animations so it’s a usual thing for me.

[Freedom2specul8]

Taker yer bows LoL
That was a good one!

[TigersEye]
