Do you still think he was picking up a piece of paper?

Remember when a video made the rounds that showed our Dear Leader, President Obama, appearing to bow before the king of Saudi Arabia? No, said the Obamabots, President Obama was just picking something up off the ground. When that became demonstrably false, the argument changed to the height difference between Obama and the king supposedly required our president to bend over to shake the king's hand. When that became demonstrably false, the argument changed to one of cultural sensitivity and besides, George W. Bush kissed the king and held his hand. So did Obama bow to the king of Saudi Arabia? See for yourself - it will only take you 13 seconds:



Now that you have watched that, it doesn't really matter whether you think that was a bow or not, because today, more video made the rounds that shows - without any ambiguity - President Obama subserviently bowing to the emperor of Japan... and I do mean subserviently! The emperor's wife too. In fact, if you watch the entire exchange, you will see Obama bow to one degree or another a total of eight times during the 19 second video snippet. As you watch the video, please keep in mind that this groveling little beta male is your President:



Notice that the emperor (nor his wife for that matter) reciprocated Obama's bow. I am absolutely disgusted by this. The Obamabots will obviously try to diminish this controversy by asking what the big deal is. It's actually a very big deal. Just ask the New York Times, which as you are probably aware, is a newspaper that is entirely in the leftist corner. In 1994, the Times chastised then-President Clinton for merely appearing to slightly bow to the very same Emperor of Japan.

So if our Dear Leader is going to go around showing his subservience to other world leaders, the least he could do is grovel correctly. He committed two major faux pas when he bowed to Japan's emperor. First, looked down and pointed his eyes to the floor. Anyone who has watched The Karate Kid knows that, per Mr. Miyagi's instruction, you don't break eye contact with the person to whom you are bowing. You always "look eye." Second, the whole idea of bowing is so that you can greet someone without making skin contact with them. Shaking hands while bowing rather kills the whole point doesn't it? Yet there is Obama shaking hands while he is bowing.

The bottom line is that once again, Obama has made himself look like an idiot. That would be bad enough if it was just affected him personally. Unfortunately his epic protocol fails are making our country look weak in the eyes of the world. When you are surrounded by wolves, the last thing you want is for your sheepdog to blink... or bow for that matter. That hopenchange is looking better and better, isn't it Obamabots?

Good Day to You, Sir

LOL! Diplomatic advice from a Karate Kid movie. DO you even take YOURSELF seriously?

No, actually I don't. That's why I don't mind peppering my posts with a little humor.

Apparently, my humor was lost upon you. Obviously, you take YOURSELF very seriously.
