How low will he go? Obama gives Japan's Emperor Akihito a wow bow

How low will the new American president go for the world's royalty?

This photo will get Democrat President Obama a lot of approving nods in Japan this weekend, especially among the older generation of Japanese who still pay attention to the royal family living in its downtown castle. Very low bows like this are a sign of great respect and deference for a superior.

To some in the United States, however, an upright handshake might have looked better. Remember Michelle Obama casually patting Britain's Queen Elizabeth on the back during their Buckingham Palace visit? America's royalty tends to make movies and get bad reviews and lots of money as a sign of respect.

I think Obama will bow to Kim Jong il and Achmadenajad next.

He held hands..which the rags do....Barry bowed..US presidents don't bow. Bush didn't aplogize for a damm thing we ever did..he didn't whine and make us look weak...nobody not even Clinton was this bad. If I were running for president that would be an ad or poster for sure. Thanks libs

This takes disgust to new heights. First time around, I believe the spin was that the POTUS was just "leaning in" to shake the hand. This time, if that pic is legit, there's just no way to deny it. Although I see the uber libs have already started gearing up the old.....but, but, but, Bush....

Wait, we are only getting started.

Look Woodrow Wilson and Warren Harding aren't President...and neither is Bush. Everybody around the world hated Bush because he kicked the shit out of our enemies...it wasn't the violence folks..it was the jealous. We project power..Europe no longer can. They love Barry because he's a puss they can manipulate. Freance would love to go over and crush the rags..hell they'd love to deport or intern all the rags they have. The Germans would love to bounce the turks...but they can't. They see the US do it..and they get pissed and frustrated. There is a reason that right wing govs came to power in those two countries and are coming in England. People are sick of the PC bullshit and left wing crap that Barry and the left, world wide represent.

I hope this marxist POFS keeps it up. 2010 + 2012 is going to be massive.

I remember Reagan and he to me is what a president should be. What he have now is absolutely disgusting on so many levels.

HH6, everyone attacks me around here for my calling ***** a marxist, etc. Yet, day by day, can there be any other conclusion?

I won't go as far as some here but he needs to be briefed on how to interact with world leaders. My guess is Obama is trying to be respectful but it looks overdone (or perhaps a sign of appeasment or too much respect).

There was a great video on CNN Thursday (I couldn't post it here) talking about radical muslims getting even worse and more numerous in England. They interviewed a couple radical leaders who said they will not stop until England becomes a muslim land that fully recognized sharia law. A significant # of muslims polled considered themselves muslim first and english 2nd. They had a picture constructed of parliment with mosque-like features. Wake up folks, a significant segment of Muslims do not assimilate and try to force their laws and customs upon the host nation, we must protect our culture and make them follow the existing rules and laws of the land. Peaceful assimilating muslims are very welcomed but never sharia law.

This video was front page CNN thankfully...people have to see this for what it is.

Guess what Shoot? The Labour paty, which is like the dems here, admitted to intentionally bringing in more muslims to swell their ranks.

That's f'n sick 333...do they hate their own country? Why does anyone feel bad, in any way, telling immigrants they are welcomed if they respect existing laws and customs? I would do that if I were in someone else's country.
