President Barack Obama greets Chinese President Hu Jintao during the official arrivals for the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, Monday April 12, 2010
Got an interesting freepmail this morning from a noob who signed up in the early hours of the morning to send it to me (and most others on this thread, I suspect).
One time exception regarding etiquette (although I will not post noob’s name) here is the freepmail in it’s entirety.
Because the freepmail is so rich in educational content, I think we all can learn from the noob. /sarcasm
It’s because Chinese people are so small and so their teleprompters are lower to the ground and Obama had to bend over to read his greeting to the Chinese leader, which was, “I humbly thank you for deigning to see me, O great Chinese overlord.”
See, it’s not as bad some of you guys think.
oh my, some people... I know many Americans are totally ignorant about other cultures, but you know, if one is not smart or educated enough, at least use Google before making bulshit comments which only expose your ignorance
“Bowing (also called stooping) is the act of lowering the torso and head as a social gesture in direction to another person or symbol. It is MOST PROMINENT IN ASIAN CULTURES but it is also typical of nobility and aristocracy in many countries and distinctively in Europe. Sometimes the gesture may be limited to lowering the head. It is ESPECIALLY PROMINENT IN CHINA China, Korea, India, and Japan where it may be executed standing or kneeling.”
one has to wonder if other countries have these kinds of loony nationalistic egotists that get so worked up when their leaders shake hands with ours or if it’s only an american form of ridiculousness to demand that our leaders only shows signs of respect that fit their standards.

hell, Nixon bowed before the guy that bombed Pearl Harbor
of course Obama could have acted like that last Bush moron sneaking from the back grabbing Angela Merkel on the shoulders. but thankfully the new president isn’t a classless retard like the previous one. he knows about standard etiquette in other cultures. unlike the majority in here.
I received it also. He’s gone.
I didn’t think he would be here very long.
:-)
They start working early in the DoJ basements.
Deleting troll freepmail.....
(I got it twice! Ain't I lucky?)
Got the same thing this morning..4 of them...LOL!! I guess he/she finally had an Obot meltdown....lol. It must be very hard for the Obot trolls that try to infiltrate FR. They can’t ever get anywhere with their subversive techniques. Pity them...LOL!
The visual image of him copying and pasting all of these names while in meltdown mode is hilarious.
Inspiration for a new tagline.
It’s because Obots think they’re smart and we’re dumb, but in reality we’re smart and they’re dumb! :)
Bingo.
He had a last parting shot for me apparently over my Merkel pic with her holding Zero at arm’s length...LOL. I guess that’s why I got 4 FReepmails from the troll.
Ignore the humourless!
(Sorta like Obama thinks 485 speeches on healthcare is going to make people like it more? You know bludgeoning with repetition is effect communication, and all that? :)
Kent Brockman: "And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords"
Well, d'uh!
“Sorta like Obama thinks 485 speeches on healthcare is going to make people like it more? You know bludgeoning with repetition is effect communication, and all that? :)”
Hilarious point! LOL!
LOL!!
Leftists haven't learned the concept that "less is more."
I only got one :(
On the plus side, maybe he thinks I am smarter :) JUST KIDDING!!!
Love the visual!
I will wear the troll’s particular hate of me as a badge of honor...ROTFLOL!
