President Bend Over

What is wrong with him? Seriously. Why does Obama love bending over?



Heads of state, even those with similar cultures to Japan, do not bow to each other. Emperor Akihito of Japan knew better than to respond with a bow. Obama, however, did not. Here's a video to show appropriate protocol by 46 other country leaders. Watch and try and grit away your humiliation that this man is representing our country.



Even ABC can't hide from the humiliation, quoting their expert in Japanese Empire protocol said this:

“The bow as he performed did not just display weakness in Red State terms, but evoked weakness in Japanese terms….The last thing the Japanese want or need is a weak looking American president and, again, in all ways, he unintentionally played that part."

The left is trying to say Obama isn't the only American President who has bowed to Akihito. And this is the picture they are referring to:



Wow. Yeah. It's like a complete replica. Exactly the same.

UPDATE:

A senior administration official called the bow to Emperor Akihito a “sign of respect,” adding that the depth of the bow reflected “the level of respect.”

Right. Except it doesn't. In their culture, the bow to that level, with eyes on the ground, is a sign of weakness.
Different counties have different translations. Shouldn't the White House know this?
Here's an example: Emperor Akihito flips Obama off. When asked, Akihito's advisers say, "He was telling Obama that America is our number one ally, but with his middle finger because it's longer."
Uh, no. It doesn't work like that. And we'd all think Akihito and his advisers were idiots for not knowing the difference.

Here's the video because it's prettier in motion. Besides, it wasn't only one bow, it was about seven or more. His foreign visits would make a good drinking game - a shot for every bow. Only those with strong livers need apply.
