I guess he is more interested in bowing to foreign monarchs than his is in saluting the American soldiers who made his country safe. It does make you wonder what his priorities really are. I am watching WW11 on the History channel, I bet a lot of the troops that bit the bullet for us in that one are probably rolling in their premature graves at the sight of our POTUS bowing to the Emperor of Japan. It is an insult.

At least the "Americanus" in the name seems to mean we've accepted him as an American.
I suppose Nixon's bow to Japan's leader doesn't count.

Nice try Pluto, but looks to me like a taller man just talking to a shorter man - not the obvious bow that Obama made. - but if Obama resigns like Nixon did, that would be fine.

I'd show you the picture of Eisenhower bowing to deGaulle, but you'd say it was photoshopped I suppose. You can do the research on the Nixon bow, it happened, and there are plenty of reputable sites to affirm it, I just don't feel like doing the footwork when it will just be discounted anyway. At least Obama didn't puke on the Prime Minister's feet like Bush Sr. did. Now that was a statement.
It was an embarrassing thing to happen, but at least it wasn't a planned ass kissing like Obama.

So you say. I say it was planned since Bush fought in WWll and didn't like the Japanese. To each his own.
Not bad Pluto. It didn't take you very long to blame a Bush.
The POTUSA bowing to anyone doesn't bother me . What bothers me is the way he sneaks up behind us every time we are bent over .
