The White House is now saying the all this bowing and scraping by Obama is the ‘diplomacy of deference’. So were they lying when they said he didn’t bow to the Saudi prince? Was he not using his ‘diplomacy of deference’ then?

According to my boyfriend (who is Japanese), the emperor is not allowed to bow. So what he’s doing in the photo is showing significant respect for Obama. If only the Chosen One hadn’t gone and ruined it by being an idiot…

Seriously, I have a masters in international business, and I know better than to do something like that. He has A BILLION ADVISERS to make sure he doesn’t screw up, and it’s not like no one pointed out his past screwups.

There you go, Obama. Make me the Czar of Not Looking Like an Ass in Other Countries. I’ll even quit paying my taxes if it’ll make you feel better.

This BO, he goes out into the world and acts the obsequious little houseboy, then comes back home and takes it out on us.

@ Anonymous: As I said last time he did this (and will repeat next time he does it), stop expecting him to know what Americans do around royalty! It’s not like he’s an American!

And by the way, tch, stop judging him before you know what is going on in the picture! He is not BOWING to the Japanese emperor. He is merely having him check out his head lice. Jeeze, you all. Huge fuss over a tiny hygeine issue.

imho bowing to another human being is never appropriate. he should take up bowling – I’ll bet he’d be good at it.

Well if it is him FS they’re gonna take away all those awards, and nominations because he’s hanging around here. You know it’s kinda funny. The actors/celebs that are “smart” lean center-right. James Woods, Dolph Lundgren, etc. Say what you want about Dolph’s movies but that guy was an MIT sciencey scholarship guy with perfect scores to get accepted, and I believe that same goes for Woods. The rest of the Hollywood retards? Guess which way they lean.

Alright so it wasn’t kinda funny, but I have the flu or something so give me a break. Here’s a funny story though. If I have the swine flu I’m gonna spend tomorrow walking around Woodfield Mall. If I’m going I’m taking a lot of you with me.

I thought he was just picking up something off of the floor? I mean, that is what he was doing last time, right? What an asshat. And people though Bush was an idiot.

I saw those bumper stickers about Texas missing their village idiot. I believe so far that Obama has beaten Bush in that category.
