Obama Bows to Jap Emperor

[Fireblade]

Did the Emperor feel a great disturbance in the economy..

Here's how a real American leader looks when he meets the Emperor of Japan:

You mean "horribly dressed"?

Can you show me a picture of any other head of State bowing to the Japanese emperor?  I think not

True to form, eh?

Sweden (she's crown princess Victoria, by the way... )

Actually it's quite difficult to find pictures of such salutations, with or without bowing or handshaking.

Emperor Akihito bowing himself to gentlemen elder than him

And the emperors bowing during a ceremony commemorating Kobe earthquake

By the way, it seems even in Japan the handshake plus bowing is not entirely unknown... of course, wearing an exoskeleton must make keeping proper etiquette quite difficult!

By the way, searching Internet shows that apparently that one is the only picture in existence of the Macarthur-Hirohito meeting... at least several variations like 'Macarthur Hirohito', 'Macarthur emperor', 'Macarthur Tokyo', etc, etc... don't find any other, while this one appears once and again.

Obama's bow would have been lower than the robot's

[Alatriste]

Yes, he is King Juan Carlos. I tried to find a picture of him and Akihito, bur the only two I found were the 'king + gundam prototype' one and this

15 degree bow!  Yi wins! Yi wins!

Most of the controversy on the internet however seems to be idicoy about Obama bowing in the first place, not his bowing so low- here I stand by it is just due to the height difference, the distance between them and Obama generally messing up.

[Grey Fox]

People in Japan bow.

Wooptydoo.

What amazes me is that one can discuss a messed up bow by Obama for 7 pages long...

[Admiral Yi]

We probably had 7 pages on Obama's messed up bowling.

[garbon]

Obama = failure

[Razgovory]

I suppose this is just more evidence that Obama is going to sign our country over to the NWO.
