Hey Barry, if you want to be speechless...good. All the better for all of us.
On the other hand, you can avoid the controversy by just acting like a US President for once.

Good call!....Stay speechless Obama!

"The Fox News poll said that 67 percent of Americans thought [the bow] was a good thing for him to have done," the official continued."Really? Sorry, I find that hard to believe.

I suppose every other US President, in post WWII, who happened to meet the Emperor and didn’t bow, would be left speechless to understand why any US head of state would do so...

Obama? Speechless? The teleprompter must be broken.

Beat me to it!
Remain SPEECHLESS, you tard and do U.S. all a favor.
And leave the teleprompter at home too. Then I am sure you will keep your stupid mouth shut.

Isn’t this a change in the official position of the White House about what happened?
I seem to recall that at the time they denied it was in fact a bow at all.
Now it seems he is saying he did bow, (but it should not be a big deal.)

Wait - I thought Fox News was nothing but a bunch of eeevil right-wing wackos to be avoided at all costs by anyone in the Obama Administration??

BS Barry - you didn’t show that much concern for your beer summit professor - the elderly man had to be helped down the steps by the cop he was at odds with while you skipped merrily ahead....
To: markomalley
"Obama's attitude was, this is an elderly gentleman in a country where this kind of greeting is customary," Oh, well that's better then. The diplomatic position is now that the Emperor, head of state of one our staunchest allies, is just a kindly old uncle who we treat with respect because of his age. Hell, he probably didn't even know who was bowing to him. They took him back to the home right after the bow.
Can anyone in this administration do the right thing, or after screwing up, at least give a non-insulting answer?
We are lost. Berlin went to his pinhead.

Holding hands in Saudi Arabia is a sign of friendship and equality, not subservience.

Speechless is a good thing. Most of us wished he would shut the hell up. I personally cant even stand the sound of his voice, anymore.

If he had wanted to bow, he should have asked the protocol officers how to do it properly. That is what the protocol officers are FOR.
What he did was gauche, condescending and made him look like a stupid rube.
