Comments on: Obama in Japan: Not a Bow but a Kowtow http://blog.heritage.org/2009/11/16/obama-in-japan-not-a-bow-but-a-kowtow/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:29:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Ed Ogle, Florida http://blog.heritage.org/2009/11/16/obama-in-japan-not-a-bow-but-a-kowtow/#comment-70141 Ed Ogle, Florida Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:59:01 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=19942#comment-70141 Vinny Goomba, if you are going to disrespect someone you need to get it right - It was George H. W. Bush, 41st President, and WWII torpedo bomber pilot, that had the misfortune of barfing on Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa and not the Emperor, during a state dinner. Bush got sick at the dinner after playing a brutal tennis match with the Emperor. Even though the emperor is no longer considered a divinity, protocol places the emperor above “State Dinners”. Therefore, regardless of your hatred, “W” or George W. Bush 43rd President did not barf on anyone. He also did not show his ignorance by bowing to Japan’s emperor while representing the United States in a foreign country.

Read his only candid book, Dreams From My Father, written at age 36, in which he has NOTHING good to say about the U.S. but only criticism. He is the President Against America.

Our nation does more to help the impoverished, downtrodden, and freedom deprived than any other nation in the world, therefore I see no reason to be apologetic. I am tired of repeated apologies and groveling. I am also suspicious of the motivation behind these acts. I'm ready to have my country back.

Our current president and his staff (and the majority of the media) are busy all day, every day misleading us about the wonderful new things they are doing for and to our country. The media and other apologists remind me of the wizzard in OZ, when he says, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtian!" I do not like being lied to, especially by our leadership. My point is that if it acts like a duck, well by golly it is a duck. Just one more confirmation about his intentions and attitude towards our country. At some point most Americans will WAKE UP and see that the Emperor has no clothes on, and will stop making excuses for him. Remember that old fast food commercial " Where's the Beef??"

He comes across as uncouth and ignorant of proper protocol. AND, I am tired of being called arrogant and the AG calling the American people cowards. I can't understand why Obama would want to be President of the US when he has to apologize for the American people and the US every time he is in a foreign country. And Obama does not give the part of his frame for the bowing picture!!! Ellen I am totally ashamed of Obama!!! He comes across as uncouth and ignorant of proper protocol.

I am bowing my head too, not out of subservience, but out of disappointment and disgust. I fear this president and his followers, they ignore our wishes and put forth phony polls stating untrue statistics in order to maintain their goal for government control. We are headed for a bad place. 2012, it what I am waiting for. The conservatives must come up with a great candidate to push this idiot out of office.
