Only Right wing fringe lunatics like you and OP will be thinking of such nonsense.
And I agree with Red Dawn, your an absolute moron.
I am all for him being diplomatic and having good relationships with other countries. Just don't do things that others will even get the idea of him being inferior.

There are reports that the Emperor was a little shocked at the deep bow. But keep on being an apologist...

And keep on being a tool and calling everyone who disagrees an apologist.
We don't apologize for his actions, in fact we don't think an apology is necessary for what essentially is, as usual, a non-issue.

Why because I'm not a hysterical little bitch like you who has to make things up to justify your comments?That's not intelligence boy, that's foolishness.
No just reading your posts make me feel better about myself you sniveling little ..well you knowYeah, and the middle school insults that make up the majority of your posts, at least those I have the misfortune to read, are truly intelligent. I prefer more constructive things but I guess if insulting strangers on an internet forum is what it takes to make you feel better about yourself...
No I posted it as an example of how our Presidents have followed traditions of the host nations, nothing hypocritical in that.bah hypricrits.
red is a good example. he has to post a picture of bush holding hands.
that's a fair point... when people praise Obama increasing the US's popularity abroad, I point out the lack of any practical benefit. I suppose the reverse should be true as well.Let's assume for a moment that the presumption of the OP is correct, that Obama's bowing does indeed make the U.S. look inferior. What is the end result of that?
Is Japan going to attack again? Does it make our gigantic military less powerful? Do our nukes stop working? Is Japan going to call in its loans? Are other countries going to be less willing to meet with us or will it be harder for the U.S. to negotiate favorable terms? Are terrorists going to see it as a sign of weakness and launch a wave of attacks?
I want someone to describe to me in a tangible way how this matters in the slightest. Honestly, the only thing I see is that it will piss off some wingnuts, who don't like Obama anyway and wouldn't begin to start liking him if he acted differently in this situation. Seriously, Obama could have shoved a nuclear bomb up the emperor's ass and you guys wouldn't have changed your opinion of him.
This thread is just a joke. I need to stop reading in it. It must be like nicotine, you know it's bad for you, but you just keep coming back.
Must be a slow news day for the outrage mongers of the Right and their addiction addled audiences...
Doesn't really matter what Obama does, he'll always be "wrong" from their perspective. It's not really much of a perspective, anyway- mostly a pavlovian response- just say "Libruhl!" and they'll attack...
Clinton almost bowing made the NYTimes?Must be a slow news day for the outrage mongers of the Right and their addiction addled audiences...

Huh? There's plenty of practical benefit, the other nations willing to work with us in good faith without having to worry about getting bullied like during the Bush Administration.that's a fair point... when people praise Obama increasing the US's popularity abroad, I point out the lack of any practical benefit. I suppose the reverse should be true as well.

before and during Bush and never really noticed a difference in terms of interacting with people.Your saying there's a lack of any practical benefit to increasing the US's popularity abroad?
Ummm... you ever travel abroad?
