Obama Bows Again

Folks, he did it again! Obama, “acting” in his role of President of the United States of America, again bowed in supplication to royalty, this time to the Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko at the Imperial Palace on Saturday, 11/14/2009.

As previously posted on here on RochesterConservative.com, Barack takes a bow, this latest incident of Obama paying homage to royalty can in no way be claimed to be a gaffe in protocol, ” Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times…” well you get the idea.

Americans don’t bow to royalty, period. We offer the initial respect that we would normally offer anybody else that we come across during the course of the day, but Americans do not bow to royalty!!! Americans stand straight and tall, look people straight in the eye and offer a firm handshake, but we never bow!!!

Just as a reminder, here’s the photo of Obama bowing and showing fealty to Saudi King Abdullah. Check out the looks of incredulity and amusement that are displayed by others in the photo, diplomats and heads of state:

I’m going to ask you an honest question. Would you bow and show fealty and supplication to a Muslim king or a Japanese emperor?

I wouldn’t and neither should you. We are Americans and we are an independent and free people that need not supplicate ourselves to royalty! We have a legacy of fighting and deposing it!

Even the Queen of England doesn’t expect bows:

“The Queen meets thousands of people each year in the UK and overseas. Before meeting Her Majesty, many people ask how they should behave. The simple answer is that there are no obligatory codes of behaviour – just courtesy.

However, many people wish to observe the traditional forms of greeting.

For men this is a neck bow (from the head only) whilst women do a small curtsy. Other people prefer simply to shake hands in the usual way.

On presentation to The Queen, the correct formal address is ‘Your Majesty’ and subsequently ‘Ma’am’. ”

Someone needs to inform Obama to approach foreign leaders as equals and not as a supplicant. It’s bad precedence to bow to kings and emperors and makes him look weak.

Obama has lofty goals as the “world leader”…America is but a bump on his way to acting as the “anti-christ” if not in fact him.

He declared being the “first US pacific president”…we know other presidents can claim that distinction, particularly Kennedy and Bush who spent time in the water…and Nixon for his break-through relations with China……

No…Obama’s pronouncement of being the first “US Pacific President” has other meaning just as the spoke in Berlin to “people of the world, we must unite”….

Obama is a grave threat to the United States Constitution and thus our freedom and liberty….

He not only bowed to the Japanese Emperor but also to his wife, and he continued to bow,,,and bow,,,and bow. He reminded me of a knick-knack my mom had called a dodo bird. It was a perpetual motion dipping bird. What memories the O brought back,,,(eye roll).

Thanks for the comments, iggymom, HoosierArmyMom and Harry!

We all know what’s going on with this administration, they haven’t exactly been subtle about it, have they?

BTW, after reading my commentary, my son recommended the following video to me, an installment of “How The World Works”:

Isn’t it great seeing young people joining in on the Tea Party Movement! We who have raised our kids to be discerning and to question authority (while accepting the Eternal Word), should be proud of them! These young patriots at “How The World Works” are true freedom fighters!

Obama loves those nations and he wants the same kind of power here in America. He never bowed to America.
