Unbelievable! Why does the president of the United States continue to ignore established military protocol and bow down to other world leaders? Doesn’t Barack Obama care that his genuflecting to other leaders makes the U.S. look weak to the world? Or is he such a full-blown narcissist that he doesn’t care?
I agree with the critics who say Obama couldn’t salute the flag on Veteran’s Day but he can bow down to royalty. He is proving himself to be the most anti-American president in history.
Update:
The video of the bow is below. Note that the emperor did not return the bow just like the Saudi King didn’t bow to Obama seven months ago. Somebody needs to tell him again: American presidents do not bow to royalty.
Seven months ago, the White House insisted that Obama didn’t bow to Saudi King Abdullah, understanding the terrible breach in presidential protocol that it represented. They tried to tell reporters that Obama was picking something up off the floor, which the video clearly shows was a lie (at the link). Take a look at the picture of Obama’s bow to the son of Hirohito. Do you see anything on that immaculate floor that requires retrieval? Read more…
Obama bowed down to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, not pictured, as he arrived at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo this morning. The last time he committed a similar faux paux, the White House claimed he did not bow. What’s his excuse going to be this time? That he was looking for his contact lens?
Do you have an English version of the video?
Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard

He does it out of respect. That’s not even worth getting worked up over. Next!!
Purified, you and everyone in the armed forces stay in my prayers.
How did I get the damn baby pic again?!?!?
Not bad at all. Obama is truly coming into his own as the leader of our country.
Obama’s bow is disgraceful. What an awful sight to see an American President bow to a Japanese Emperor or any head of state. This is the most unAmerican thing I”ve ever seen a President do.
i’m not getting worked up over it either. it’s whatever.
I do believe he was bowing out of respect. I dont say i agree with it but thats probably what he was doing. But im not getting myself worked either.
OMG @ ur blog name iwishabishwouldandhernicca2 now in english
thats the funny profile name yet 
i wish a bish would and her nicca 2
That’s how the Asians greet in general though aint it?
In Japan people bow during a greeting as a sign of respect. In keeping with diplomacy President Obama was abiding by their country’s customs.
@iwishabishwouldandhernicca2
I LOVE your screenname. Imma put that on a T-shirt!
I fail to understand how doing something as respectful as bowing is disgraceful…I guess if he spat in his face, that would be ok??? This makes no sense. Japanese people bow as greetings ALL the time. He’s respecting their culture. Maybe because he’s an educated and cultured president, he’s doing what he knows is customary
I always thpught bowing was a sign of respect…:shrug:
^^meant to say thought
^^meant to say thought
Do you actually feel as he meant to harm the country by trying to abide by their traditional customs? I really believe he was trying to be respectful.

Welcome to the new ppl. Our President was just bowing out of respect and Sandra you know that.
Confused. I could have sworn that you were supposed to bow/curtsy to royalty, but since when did they do it back? I never seen the Queen curtsy yet.
I thought I was losing my mind…..so registration is open.
newbies. And hey to the lurkers who are still lurking. I say we bring back Charles.
I love my President, but his bowing does look a little excessive.
Hi LovelyLady,
I have been a lurker forever…:cheer1:
hi, wow i can leave a comment!! how long is registration open??
@ Anna:
I didn’t see you mention respect when Obama refused to salute the flag on Veteran’s Day. Is it OK to respect a foreign leader but not OK to respect the flag?
There is a difference between bowing out of respect and what Obama is doing. There is a proper protocol to follow when greeting foreign heads of state. Obama broke that protocol with this bow. The president of the United States bows to no one. The leader of the inferior country does the bowing. Not the other way around!!
CLICK HERE to see the proper way for a president to greet a foreign head of state. The emperor in the picture is bowing correctly. Note that the emperor bowed to Ronald Reagan but this emperor DID NOT bow to Obama. That’s because Obama broke protocol by breaking eye contact.
i know shots r about to be fired at me but i cant help it. but i dont see obama in the same light as i use to i have to agree with auntie somewhat. how can u bow before another country but no put ur hand over ur heart when honoring our troop. for the past couple months somethings dont seem right.
CINNA Says:

********************************************************
No they don’t. They bow slightly at the waist and they maintain eye contact at all times. They don’t bow and scrape and grovel at each other’s feet the way Obama is doing. The thing is, he KNOWS that his behavior caused an outcry the last time he did this. Yet he does it again? Clearly, Obama doesn’t care about protocol or respecting the customs of America. Once again, presidents do not bow to foreign leaders. He didn’t bow to the queen of England when he visited England earlier this year and he didn’t salute the flag on Veteran’s Day.

This is not about respect, this is about him breaking a time-honored military protocol that presidents do not bow to foreign leaders. By bowing and scraping, Obama is proving to the world that America is no longer a world power and he is acknowledging that a new world order will be lead by the Asians. If Obama is not going to follow protocol then why did he run for president?

Sandra I see your point because I did “CLICK HERE”. I think the pic showed one being star struck. President R was a movie star also. BTW my brother and I want our Obama vote back. We both have private insurance and don’t want to get screwed out of it or penalized for not “buying” into the Obama Health Care Plan”. The goverment is so much in our business that I will no longer be able to sneeze in my own home. My vote was for Hillary and I had to quickly change it because I did not want “Mrs. Thang(who will appear on Oprah tommorrow) as our VP. Even if you gave Mrs. Palin money to buy a vowel she would not spend it wisely or think it’s ok to buy a “clue”.
Obama and his progressive masters ain’t brining no change, except what’s left in your pocket once he backtracks on the taxes and China’s bill comes due (only incomes >$250K/$150K will pay, riiiightt….)
Ummm….I dont see the big deal, He bowed as a sign of respect how far he bowed is irrelavant to me. Its not like he was on the ground kissing his feet.lmao! Geze people like making something out of nothing. Bush started a war(over OIL) put thousands of our troops in harms way for nothing. Killing not only americans but innocent iraqi’s. Spied on us. Pretty much did everything but burn the constitution and I have yet to see the uproar against him that is against Obama when he has YET to do anything even close to what bush has done. SMH
I don’t think it’s right to label Japan as “inferior” . Why is the president of the US better than anyone else? Sandra, if you say he’s such a narcissist, why would he be bowing to someone else?? I don’t see what the big deal is.
Thanks for opening registration Sandra!
