I noticed at the bottom of the video this came from the UCONN College Republicans. I didn’t know people who went to UCONN CAME OUT WITH THEIR BRAINS IN TACT! Believe me I know! Having survived that school and graduating in 1996.

I have since purged myself of the crap they fed me there!

There’s that “hope and change” he promised. What a maroon! We have a lot of work to do undoing the damage this putz is causing. The real hope and change is getting rid of this buffoon after 1 term.

you have to understand, he knows everything, so why does he need to actually like, listen to someone? I am sure his protocol chief probably tried to tell him, but the one need not pay attention, he floats amongst us shrouded in his own arrogance and misty know it all ‘isim’ = ignorance. He never has been good at truly entertaining others persons ideas or views, so what’s the surprise? I can see it now;

“mr pres. please let me show you how the Japanese expect greetings to be practiced”;…”uh uh hold on there, yea I know, yea okay, …hey make sure you have my 3 wood in the bag…uhm dismissed”…

Does Obama simply not take advice from the State Department protocol folks? Clearly it’s commonly-known that heads of state don’t bow to japan’s Emperor.
