Obama didn't bow to the Japanese emperor on November 14, 2009; he was merely checking because the emperor told him his fly was open! I wonder what Hairy, Nom=de-Plump, et al will post to justify the bow. Don't really care since they are banished from my computer. It must be nice to be totally happy with being ignorant of foreign customs, where you can criticize Obama for not being as ignorant as you are. Typical, unfortunately. Doesn't matter. Not ONE of them said a damned thing when Bush did his usual foreign customs screw ups. Kissing cheeks and holding hands is different from bowing and showing subservience. If you are going to bow to one monarch shouldn't you bow to all of them? So, by that logic, Obama should be kissing all the world leaders? Even Bush didn't do that. Personally, even if he did bow, it's very minor thing. It distracts from the real issues of healthcare, the two wars, etc., but it's a useful tool for the right, just as Bush's handholding and kissing was for the left. Maybe Obama should try massaging his peers shoulders at a meeting of the G-8 or NATO or the UN... |
