Obama bows again

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/20...

It is called being presidential.
Bush supporters wouldn't know what that means.

My oh my and deep waist bows too! How do you think he bows before the muslim high man? What a guy.
And for you WD....as for the Great President George W. Bush, guess you liberals do not know how to understand news reports. George W. Bush was a kind, considerate man to all of the older leaders, helping them walk etc. but never, never would he bend a knee to bow to anyone...not only would it have been wrong for him to do that from a Presidential perspective but his religious beliefs allow him only to bow to the true God he serves.

Americans chose never to bow again after defeating the British. Obama is not acting Presidential, he is making a fool of himself and all of us.

When I saw that headline and pic on drudge today, I laughed. what an idiotic un=presidential behaviour on the part of ours - BO. Yes, the world is laughing.

The last thing this guy ever acts like is a president.

we wish he would "bow out"....

How ignorant are you people? Bowing instead of handshakes is Japan 101. George Bush held hands with and kissed the Saudi king when he was president.

"Bowing instead of handshakes is Japan 101."

We are not Japanese. Bush did a few stupid things as President, but bowing was not one of them.

Oneeye, cat, gringo; we bow to none. obama bows to them and throws us to the wolves. I'm telling you; take over the world with out ever firing a single shot!

Obama is a radical and bows to them.

Its the culture. If you are visiting you are in their culture. Just as Bush was in the Arab culture he kissed. It is respectful if you are visiting a native land to walk in their culture. Just as women journalist cover their heads when they are there. I think you are all making too much out of a bow.

Conclusion: Andrew Malcolm doesn't really know anything about Japan http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/20...

He disgraces us VinMan.

CRxx, I respect your opinion, But our tradition (was) not to bow. No disrespect toward any culture, but a right we fought for in the revolution, and a gesture proudly ignored until Obama.

Whats to explain? Disgusting but, kissing is not bowing. Refusal to bow is (was) our Right, and was respected.

And who made it law that one from the USA should refuse to bow? Is it in the bill of rights? Our right? If it wasn't Obama I am sure you would say its disgusting but not a word would be said. I have been looking over this forum. All I see if mostly Obama bashing. There isn't even reasonable banter. Why is that?

Are you folks for real? Obama bowed as a sign of respect in a country where such a gesture communicates exactly that, not subservience. Not everyone in the world shares American traditions and perspectives, and after reading these posts, thank God for that. There's a fine line between your blatant and incessant hostility towards the President and undeniable ignorance, and I think you all have crossed that line.

They aren't for real. All they know how to do is put down our President. They hated him before he got in and they look for things to put him down about now. They nit pick everything that he says or does. They will vote against their own good, and make the rich richer. I am amazed, and ashamed. Is this what America has become, we want our President, our Country to fail???
