Talk about Peter Principle - President Obama has created a whole new

Now there's one he should take a bow for...


Speaking of gratuitous genuflection, I've heard through the
grapevine
that the President is unofficially rehearsing for what he expects to
receive from the Queen of England in an invitation to be knighted,
with the understanding that he will invariably earn the honor in the
future (a kind of 'ROI'al investment).


I guess you guys never heard of Eisenhower or Nixon bowing.


I'm familiar with the Brezhnev-Connors hug.


It's one thing to comport oneself with appropriate diginity and with
respect for others, it's another to act obsequiously. It's not
befitting a president of the United States and leader of the free
world, even if the President deems it to be a necessary symbolic
gesture. It's a symbol rooted in a naive ideology.


Both bowed... Eisenhower to de Gaulle???? Can you say right wing
meltdown
if
that happened now...

Nixon bowed to Hirohito (in the US I believe) and to the Pope, not to
mention holding hands and kissing the Saudi monarch.


http://www.democraticunderground.com...p?az=show_mesg...


Quite some symbolism...


Am I impressed with Eisenhower or Nixon?


That's really not the question is it.


Are you making a statement, or a question (?)



No ?, thus a statement.

Guess he's not god like - when he's obsequious anyway.
Pretty much like he's a shrimp when he's not a big oaf.
And he's senile when he's not juvenile.
I think I get it.

Big words are always better if they make the writer sound smart.
Unless they serve to garble the writer's meaning, cloud the intended
message and confuse or mislead the reader.


Hope you're all feeling supercalifragalisticexpealidocious.


Only if the biguns are spelled correctly.

Honestly, do you really wish to use the word "Biguns," instead of
"Bigguns?"

There is a huge difference.

Perhaps you were talking about obsequiousness. In any case, I don't see
anything like that in any of the pictures. Do you think he (or any of
them)
were cringing?


"Cringing"? I'm not quite sure where you got that from, Em.
