Obama's bow riles critics back home

Outrage in Washington over Obama's Japan bow

WASHINGTON – News photos of President Barack Obama bowing to Japan's emperor have incensed critics here, who said the US leader should stand tall when representing America overseas.

Obama on Monday was in China, having wrapped up the Japan leg of his Asia trip two days earlier. But Washington's punditocracy was still weighing whether or not the US president had disgraced his country two days earlier by having taken a deep bow at the waist while meeting Japan's Emperor Akihito.

just getting a closer look at the emperor's gold booties!

This guy is just an embarrassment to the US.......

In terms of Japanese protocol that was a gesture of subserviance.

Business as usual on urkle's "America sucks" world tour.

I'm just surprised Chairman O didn't try to reach over and unzip his fly while he was down there. Wonder how long now before he visits the USS Arizona monument in Pearl Harbor and takes a leak off the side, just to make his point?
