You're obssessing over nothing of consequence. Get over it.In the video you can see H.I.M. the Tennō Heika come forward and start to extend his hand.
Not so. This is quite petty and an attempt by RepublicationsIt sure as Hell is domestically in the U.S. and in terms of over two centuries of U.S. History as an independent state.
Yet another example of the President’s lack of experience.
I agree, it's the cons in the US trying to make something out of nothing and obsessing.You're obssessing over nothing of consequence. Get over it.
Fred, you are indeed the big boss here, but respectfully on this matter you are dead wrong! Somehow I don't think of The Los Angeles Times as a bastion of conservatism.Not so. This is quite petty and an attempt by Republications
to distract attention from what the President is trying to achieve during this visit.
Nothing else!
Blackrock you really don't get it. Neither apparently does the President. Heads of State do not bow to other heads of State.I agree, it's the cons in the US trying to make something out of nothing and obsessing.
Politico a hard right-wing blog!? They even have posted a set of photographs going back several administrations.I agree, it's the cons in the US.
Should NOT bow to anybody!obama also bowed to the King of Saudi of Arabia. He shok hands with Chavez. Regardless of what you think of Bush what Chavez said about Bush at the UN is uncalled for.
Its all about perception.
A US president should bow to anybody.
Its all about perception. He looks weak.
When Reagen and Gorbachev met in Iceland it was damn cold. Reagen waited outside for Gorbachev in only his suit. Gorbachev was dressed to the most for warmth.
Gorbachev lated commented he knew he was dealing with a tough cookie.
Nobody is scared of Obama and some should be.
And you think anything discussed on TERB (other than reviews) is an "issue"? If it is that important I write a letter or pick up the telephone.Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Non Issue talk about something serious.
This is the kind of issue the dim latch onto because the other stuff involves actually thinking.
So was Michelle Obama touching the Queen of England when they met. Evidently the Queen wasn't offended, although surprised a bit, and in turn put her arm around Mrs. Obama. Now George sneaking up behind the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and trying to give her a back rub, there's a breach of protocal. Not to mention kind of creepy.Such an action is unheard of in U.S. History and Diplomatic Precedent.
Officially, the Queen was not offended. But she also knows that her own response must be above reproach, and so the Queen returned the act of undue familiarity with an act of familiarity.So was Michelle Obama touching the Queen of England when they met.

Great. Now explain George.Officially, the Queen was not offended. But she also knows that her own response must be above reproach, and so the Queen returned the act of undue familiarity with an act of familiarity.
That the Queen responded well does not mean that it's suddenly appropriate to treat her as you might treat your Aunt Liz.
LOL!It sure as Hell is domestically in the U.S. and in terms of over two centuries of U.S. History as an independent state.

You're just whining, carping, bellyaching like cons do at ANYTHING done by the other side of the aisle......your SOP!....Blackrock you really don't get it. Neither apparently does the President. Heads of State do not bow to other heads of State.
Particularly so in the U.S. which has two centuries of custom on this point. The Washington Administration (not to mention those since) are spining in their graves.
