He doesn’t understand what the office of the president of the United States is nor does he understand how great the United States is.
The morons that voted for him or stayed home and didn’t vote should be ashamed.

What I am about to write is racist. Patently, purely, undeniably racist. And mean-spirited.
These purposefully chosen words are intended to offend and hurt, to slash the soul of every leftist who reads them. They are meant to wound you, as you have wounded her – my America.
Try this: Barack Obama was not bowing before the emperor of Japan; he was bending over in preparation of shining the emperor’s shoes. Yes, that’s right. Barack Obama is the world’s shoe-shine boy.
Can you feel the racist vibe, dear statist? Is the rage welling within you? It is? Then, good. You now know how the rest of us feel every time we behold your false god obsequiously bowing before other world leaders and trampling upon more than 200 years of independence-minded American tradition.

He may have just been picking something up off the floor and that sneaky Japanese guy jumped him all ninja-like.

Obama needs to resign and be swept into history’s dust bin, along with everything else we’d like to forget.
Man is a national embarrassment.

If you don’t like Obama bowing low, just wait until the Olympics and see what happens to the American Flag during the opening ceremonies.
BDU-33 on November 15, 2009 at 10:02 AM
OT: If you want the readers to agree with Miss McCain, AP, post that Tweet of her saying that Newsweek picture is sexist. I confess I was surprised, and a bit impressed.
There is no excuse for bowing like that. None. Any “official” word from the White House about it yet? This certainly can’t be spun as “he dropped something”…
America under Barry = the new lap dog.
Make him go away. He’s like the 60 yr. old hippie uncle at Thanksgiving dinner, who makes sure to wear tie-dyed shirts and Impeach Bush! buttons on his headband next to his Religion is for Fools! button. He’s an embarrassing idiot and doesn’t seem to be aware of it.
Itchee Dryback on November 15, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Well I now understand the problem better.
I showed the pictures to my 21 year old son and he not only didn’t see a problem but defended BO with alacrity for being polite.
The really interesting thing is that he does not in the least like BO in any matters of policy.
What is it about BO that brings out automatic defense of him unless it’s about policy? I see it here all the time and I see it in “real” life all the time and I just don’t understand it.
RagTag on November 15, 2009 at 10:11 AM
Good thing for him there isn’t a nation of dogs. Obama would get on all fours and sniff their leader’s ass upon greeting him.

African Americans fought hard in the 60’s for civil rights
HondaV65 on November 15, 2009 at 10:06 AM
And the democrats and liberals have spent every waking moment since then to take them away.
Support of civil rights is just another reason democrats and liberals hate republicans and conservatives with a passion.
RagTag on November 15, 2009 at 10:15 AM

What’s next bowing to Bin Laden?
gophergirl on November 15, 2009 at 10:16 AM
RagTag on November 15, 2009 at 10:11 AM
I think a lot of it has to do with him being part black. People are so afraid of being called a racist that they won’t critize him for anything he personally does for fear of being “branded” a racist.
I, however, don’t give a flying fig who calls me what – I repeat the guy is a doofus.
gophergirl on November 15, 2009 at 10:19 AM
So here’s my question: Does he know that nobody else bows?
WisCon on November 15, 2009 at 10:19 AM
If this were 1936, Obama would order our Olympic team to march pass the viewing box, giving the nazi salute and dipping our flag for Herr Hitler.

RagTag on November 15, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Agree completely … I just don’t understand Obama’s tactics here. He is the first Black President – surely he doesn’t want to be known around the world as being LESS strong than the white Presidents before him?
I really don’t understand this – and, in many cases – his kow-towing overtures are being made to national leaders who lead very racist nations. For instance
- the King of Saudi – Arabians are a very racist people and even implement an almost formal caste system around those attitudes.
- Japan, doubtless the most racist nation I’ve ever visited, and I’ve been there many times. Their treatment of Filipinos is abhorrent in that nation – and Blacks themselves are viewed very negatively.
- Russia, not just a racist nation imo – but one verging on White Supremacy. It’s no accident that David Duke now lives in Russia and sees Russia as the key to the White Supremacist movement.
- China … after years of ranting about Capitalist “imperialism” … China’s engaged in it in Sub-Saharan Africa, virtually enslaving local populations.
I mean – what is going on with this dude? Does he think that you must be an American citizen to be a qualified racist? News flash for Obama – racism exists – it exists in the nations whose leader’s you’re kissing up to.
A pity that all that education the Left so prizes in Obama didn’t include any about protocol or class. I wonder if a shrink would say it indicates his own sense of inadequacy and inferiority.

HondaV65 on November 15, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Why is the first Black President consistently displaying inferiority and weakness to overseas heads of State?
I seriously don’t think this is a good example for young African American kids. They need to see him as at least EQUAL to other leaders.
African Americans fought hard in the 60’s for civil rights – I realize that Obama didn’t … but why is he making a full-court press to return to the back of the bus?
Honda, I hope you don’t mind but I reposted your comment on my Facebook page as a quote. If you’re on FB, I’d love to connect – you can find me at http://www.facebook.com/heidiht
As I read the comments and think this over more fully, I’m beginning to wonder if O’s bowing is having the opposite effect from what he apparently intends. These world leaders could see it as condescending not honoring–I would if I were them.
May I just say the President of Kazakhstan is giant pumpkin-headed mutant? Seriously, did something go badly Photoshopically wrong with that picture, or does he really have some kind of freaky huge melon skull?
