Japanese emperor and Obama are not equal footing.The emperor means the king of kings.Jpanese emperor is the only official emperor in the world. He is the only person of a higher standing than Pope and Elizabeth II. And he said to be descended from king of ancient Israel.The seal of the Japan is identical to symbol mark carved on the castle of the kingdom of Israel.So Japnese imperial family is the highest position and the longest histories in the world. :*.;".*・;・^;・:＼(*^▽^*)/:・;^・;・*.";.*: ♪
I have lived in Illinois all my life. Obama is a Chicago politician and is good at what he does. Those people will bow, blow, or kiss anything that helps them get more office time or money. Obama wouldnt bow to a normal American but will bow to an outdated cultural figure in a country we dropped 2 atom bombs on and left with a base and has been a neo-colony ever since. Obama is kissing your jap asses while he takes your wallet!
to the retard talking S**t, its a respectful gesture. it doesnt matter which part of the world your in, "RESPECT" have the same diffniton all around the world. but its obsvious u know nothing of the world, her history, many different beautiful country, their custom, and tridition. Go to school, dont wast your time getting wasted and high. travle the world, your eyes would opend up and be wiser. F*&*(&ing youngin
I bow to no man, for instance I am a football fan, yet would not treat my teams quarterback any differently than any other man at the airport. Why would anyone bow to a man who leads a country you do not live in. I would simply shake the emperors hand firmly just like everyone else I meet. I feel that the only man I would treat any differently would be Ron Paul, I would also show respect to Mohatma Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Erich Von Daniken. Only because they inspire me.
when you go to another country and meeting the Head of the Nation, it is only right that you do so(in any way which is preferable), so that the host nation will know that the visiting person is from a civilised nation. its protocol, used by noble personages as you mentioned as well. peace.
I think that both leaders wanted to adjust to each other. Akihito instead of being bowing was showing the hand which is very unusual in Japan. In the oposit, Obama bowed, which is not typical in the USA. I agree that Obama's style is a lil bit awkward like he does not have a sense to do it correctly. Anyway, the important fact is that Obama is in the role of guest and Akihito is a host. I was always taught that the one who visits is the one who is supposed to show the respect first.
@Qstyles18 What the hell does family have to do with anything? Wasn't 2 nukes enough of a war crime? That I think is one of the largest crimes against humanity in the history of man.
@95stangdude I never said I supported or agreed with my govt's actions now did I? Both govt's committed heinous crimes against humanity. The victims were citizens of the U.S, and JAPAN while the gov't has no repercussions for their actions. Japan still denies 'the Rape of Nanking' ever occurred. That is as ridiculous as denying the holocaust. War is EVIL and no form of "counter-terrorism" should justify today's blood shed either.
@Qstyles18 That I can totally agree with! Still, I don't think you should be punished for what your father did wrong, right? It's the same here, this guy is part of that family, but he ain't the same as his ancestors, why should he be punished? Aside from that, thanks for clearing that up.
@95stangdude Agreed. I find it sad that neither the Japanese nor American government suffered any consequences. It's ironic that billions of dollars are invested into military equipment while no time is dedicated to peace talks - when in actuality isn't war fought for "peace?" War is evil and should not be justified for any reason. History most certainly will repeat itself.
@95stangdude I actually agree with what you have said if you actually READ my entire view. I agree that my gov't is one of the biggest terrorists of the world. The C.I.A. destroys countries that are "threats" from within by arming a small group of dissatisfied civilians and using their discontent to overthrow govt's. I am not a conspiracy theorists but believe it or not there is a LOT of back story behind J.F.K.'s assassination. He was the last president who actually stood for something.
If I was a president of 200 years - old country, i would also bow, seeing a member of 3000 years - old dynasty, last Emperor of the earth and representative of one of the oldest, great, traditional country like Japan. America, you're not the most important on this planet!
I think it's appropriate that he bowed. He is a guest in their country, and he is showing respect to royalty. Bowing doesn't always mean submitting, it also means showing respect. Even though both parties equal rank as Heads of State, the emperor is still royalty, he's inherited his country through bloodlines and so his family is probably much more dedicated and loyal to their country. (Not saying Obama isn't!).
Heads of state should never bow to another head of state they are equals in terms of position. it's not Just obama most presidents don't seem to either know. or haven't been told that by the state department protocol people
Obama just shows that he is cultured...one has to bow before royalty for all politicians know that they are nowhere near as commited to their people as emperors.
Bowing is one of the most important gesture in Japan to show sincerity. In Japan the idea is if you show others respect, people will show the same respect toward you.
Obama actually have a brain, so bowing is a polite move.
Some my fellow Americans will never understand the simple basic idea of showing mutual respect. They always believe bowing is losing, and the U.S (not all, just some people) can be sore losers. Always win through force is not victory, it is ego. Simple wisdom.
If given the chance of an audience with the Emperor, I would bow, it is not a sign of submission but one of deepest respect and that is the feeling I have for his Imperial Majesty and Japan.
It is true that presidents amongst asian countries don't bow to each other cuz of historical enmity and pride...but it seems that Obama wants to show respect by applying asian way of greeting older aged peeps by bowing. In other words, Obama respects the wisdom that comes with age rather than simply one's position in sociopolitics.
@chuck9788 Disgraceful? You've obviously don't no shit about Japanese culture. In Japan, bowing is a sign of respect. Bowing in Japan has been a tradition for thousands of years. If you worthless, uneducated, mean-spirited republicunts had payed attention in school, you would kno this. Piece of shit.
@Aresftfun I would comment on your reply. But I find it quite vague and confusing. Which TWO histories are you referring too? LMAO Or should you learn TWO spell?
@NOISLAMINUSA Ironically, I did it on purpose. It's also a rehash of "L2*insert verbal modifier*". You seem to be worried of that type of literature. However, do not be afraid of words. It's a bit silly. Don't you think?
@NOISLAMINUSA You must read between the lines. I never did like essays. H4h4h4h4 you'd be right. Except for the silly part. Since I'm much less ignorant relatively.
@NOISLAMINUSA "noislaminusa" you cant even keep a political statement out of your username. what did you name your first born? "Spicsout McEnglishOfficialLanguage"

@NOISLAMINUSA its not Kunt... its CUNT you uncultured, foolish, "ig'nant", rosary-bead carrying, CUNT. AND SHOVE YOUR BIBLE WHERE THE SUN DOESNT SHINE.
@NOISLAMINUSA My point was pretty clear, you must be pretty slow. Let me explain it to you better. The emperor who "issued orders on Pearl Harbor attack", is Hirohito. Obama's bowing to emperor Akihito. You slow fuck.
@NOISLAMINUSA My point was pretty clear, you must be pretty slow. Let me explain it to you better. The emperor who "issued orders on Pearl Harbor attack", is Hirohito. Obama's bowing to emperor Akihito; hence it's "not the same emperor". It's pretty sad how you think you're the clever one here.
@NOISLAMINUSA IDIOT!!! The emperor who planned Pearl Harbor was Hirohito. This is Akihito. WWII is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get over it!!!!! STUPID FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!
@skierdude95 I think you miss the point. Doesn't matter what Emperor it is, the fact remains, we do not accept our President bowing to foreign powers . PERIOD Grow up you silly cunt.
@NOISLAMINUSA Who the hell are you to say that, have you been in the military or anything that deals with working with the Us and being in a foreign country? for fucks sake man, its their country and we follow their rules -.-" what he did here is just showing respect.
@skierdude95 - You would bow to the son of the Emperor that enslaved your father? I say you are the idiot. Japan did alot of evil but one generation ago.. rape, murder, slavery, starvation... But that is beside the point. There are many more reasons to reject feudalism, royalty, empire and hegemony. And any true patriot would understand why.
@doit420sdf like the US hasn't commited a shitload of crimes in the name of "freedom" and "patriotism", fucking hypocrite. Keep dormant to the fact that your government is only using you through your stupid pride to acomplish what they really want, more power. You make a perfect puppet indeed.
@doit420sdf well if you were, things like this wouldn't even be considered to be an issue, there's a ton of other things to think about Obama doing wrong and you choose this? One of our ex-presidents, Vicente Fox, screwed up during a meeting with some royalty, but considering all the BS he did while in the chair, that was hardly noticed. All I'm saying is, this has little to no relevance when it comes to important issues, like war against crime, drug dealing, etc.
@95stangdude - I take the attempted insult in the first sentence of your comment as the technical surrender of your argument. But I will press on for a moment..
Of course Obama assassinating US citizens is more important than the physical act of bowing.. but of course you will never see the connection between the two events.. will you?
@doit420sdf well no, don't take anything as attempted, it wasn't even an insult, don't see how it could be considered an insult, but whatever. Press on, I don't mind, you're free to express yourself in any matter you want for as long as you want. And yes, I do understand what you mean, and it's a lot more intricate than a simple connection. Will I? lol

people in the US never control the United States. people outside US have complete control over US.The roles of people in the US is soldier in the world. Three authorities in in the world are The emperor of Japan and The pope and Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth II is queen of commonwealth.She is also Queen of Canada.Until the 18th century,US originally was ruled by royal family too? Check the website of "Canadian Heritage - Styles of address - Foreign dignitaries".
The emperor of Japan is the king of kings. And He is the only official emperor in 206 countries.Curia Romana only recognize Emperor of Japan as official Emperor.The pope never go off to Buckingham Palace and White House to have a talk.But he must go off to Imperial Palace to meet the emperor of Japan. And he did it.When Obama receive the emperor of Japan, he must pick the emperor of Japan up at the airport.But the emperor of Japan will stand at the door of Tokyo Imperial Palace to receive Obama.
Remember when Bush vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister? That was okay because he did it in the true Japanese tradition, right? Or does he lose points because there weren't any tentacles involved?
@iamsaved7 Emperor of Japan and the pope,Elizabeth II are world authority and control the world. Obama is just their puppet. When presidents of the US receive a state visitor, they must wear formalwear with white tie and pick these three people up at the airport. Do you know Royal coat of arms of the UK and secret state Seal of Japan are in the motif of Unicorn and lion? Imperial House of Japan and House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha by the name of House of Windsor are special in the world.
@MrHideyoursheep - Fair enough but I still think that if your parents were survivors (or victims) of Japanese imperialism, if you carried the tradition of constitutional republicanism and denounced the feudal class system, if you were Korean, if your family members were blown up by Obamas drones, or if you were simply against assassination of Americans (or anyone) without trial, then you would care... but at least for the time being, its still a free country. Cheers.
@doit420sdf My Great Aunt who was a catholic non was a prisoner in the philippines for Two and a Half year's held captive by the Imperial japanese.So think again.
@MrHideyoursheep - Considering that your dogs name is Hirohito there may be a connection..
In any case, if your grandmother was victimised (beyond being held captive), I would hope you would have more concern about these dubious figureheads as they actually impact people to this day.. Hirohito gave orders during the war just as Obama now signs orders for assassinations.
@doit420sdf Well Commard, If you have a problem with the Führer than take it up with him.People Like you alway's have an awnser to something. I'm Done! War's have been goin' on for Thousand's of years you should know this, where there is Evil there is Good around.
@MrHideyoursheep - I like your last point.. some things are inevitable, but just remember that if France was filled with pacifists, they wouldn't have been annexed in a heart beat. We need fighters not slackers (no finger pointing here) to fight against wars.. not to fight the wars.
well the main topic here is obama gave respect but thats too much like way too much!!! he shouldn't be doing that since he is the head and the chief of state right?
@sugba2sugbo he can show as much respect as he wants...that monarchy goes back over 2,500 years and has cultural and religious significance to the Japanese people. Also bowing in Asian cultures is often less a sign of subservience as it is a sign of fellowship and good will. This shouldn't be discussed further
@iamsaved7 - As a military protector of Japan in a hostile region, an overbowing official looks weak and is a faux-paux in Japanese terms.
FURTHER more, overbowing to monarchy, royalty, and empire is a sign of disrespect to the people that elected Obama. Classic one-termer, and a crappy statesman.
@doit420sdf Crappy statesman? haha say what you will about Obama, but you cannot say that foreigners interpret him as weak. He is more respected by foreigners than any president since Kennedy and didn't have to speak German in Berlin to achieve it.
We are not talking about bowing to the prime minister of Japan (Obama's Japanese counterpart). We are talking about the Japanese monarch. I think there is more at work here in your view of Obama as inadequate and incompetent. Look inwardly.
@iamsaved7 - That's complete BS. Other countries are laughing at our WallStreet owned president. They love him because is weak and he does their bidding. A real president would never have illegally and unconstitutionally intervened in Libya. JFK, a real president, did not sign the air support orders when they came to his desk. And rightly so.
@doit420sdf lol please! I spent a significant amount of time living in Germany and France and lived with people from all over the world and rest assured that the words "weak", "schwach", or "faible" never came up in discussions of Pres. Obama.
Also, If it were clearly unconstitutional HE would surely have been impeached. Everyday constitutionality is being redefined to match present circumstance. (think on Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus or Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase.)
@iamsaved7 - It surely was unconstitutional as congress explicitly un-authorised the intervention as declaring war is, specifically, their exclusive domain as defined in our constitution. This is also in violation of the war powers act and international treaties that forbid funding a foriegn civil war.
And why would your friends in Germany and France insult (accurately depict) your president to your face? They want a weak US president- ie one that caters to NATO and UN above the constitution.
@doit420sdf point blank: unconstitutional actions= dismissal from office
I'm not saying that its not a grey area..but the beauty of what the founding fathers did was to create a document that could be redefined with changing times, values, risks, and dangers. Welcome to America.
And the French and Germans are incredibly outspoken and don't spare feelings. Remember that they assembled in the tens of thousands to see him before his administration's foreign policy was even established
@iamsaved7 - Outspoken or not, French and Germans probably wouldn't use the term 'weak' even amongst themselves, but terms more relevant and gratifying for themselves...
For example: instead of saying "Obama is a weak president of the US" they would say something more natural to them such as "Europe is getting stronger due to bi-lateral ties." And this is why they love Obama.
@doit420sdf They love him because they found him and his election to be inspiring. That has been a resounding theme in my conversations with Europeans. The international community in general however is tired of what has been perceived as American arrogance and what has been seen as our leaders' tendency to act in reckless disregard of others. Obama marks a change in the mindset of American leadership. He is a cultured man with respect for other cultures. That is what this early video reflects.
@iamsaved7 - Sure, the difference between Bush and Obama appeared to be metaphorically black and white at first, and if Obamas handlers could pull off the deception at home then it follows that Europe would have an even fuzzier view.. but the politicos know the truth, and whether they like or not, Obama has expanded the empire and is, in geo political terms, just as arrogant and criminal as Bush ever was. Consider that Obamas campaign 'hope' artist was recently beaten in Amsterdam. Go figure.
@doit420sdf "weak" yet "arrogant", "handled" yet "criminal"... there are contradictions in your reasoning that I will leave you to ponder. But if Obama were truly comparable to Bush I doubt we'd be having this conversation. I dare say he'd surely not have been elected.
@iamsaved7 - Weak as in acquiescing to England and France over Libya, or allowing Bernanke to funnel US bailout money to European Banks and not prosecuting banker/wallstreet fraud. However, our foriegn policy is anything but weak- its controls Obama! He is owned by the military industrial complex, so no I don't see any contradiction. The problem is that Obama lied about ending torture, ending the wars, ending illegal wiretapping etc.. as where Bush at least was honest about it.
@doit420sdf You call him weak and a tool and it's clear that in his place you'd prefer a despot. He is Commander-in-Chief but any course of action short of that of a true dictatorship will require the cooperation of others. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the desires of one man have never truly been sufficient to affect change and certainly not when there is so much opposition to everything he does (including but certainly not limited to his continuing to exist).
@iamsaved7 - That's ridiculous. I consider Bush a despot and possibly the worst president ever, with Obama vying hard for the position. In the context of the conversation I was calling Obama weak in relation to Europe and yes a tool for the industrial military complex/ wallstreet but that doesn't mean I want a despot.
What would be better would be a president with a backbone that supports the constitution. Remember that better presidents than Obama have declined to sign the air support orders.
@doit420sdf Well we can agree on one thing at least. Bush is perhaps the worst to have presided over these United States. In my opinion however President Obama is one of the best. If only for the reason that his background most closely reflects that of the majority of Americans. In comparison to other president's (save Lincoln) his origins can only be described as humble. The others have all been fundamentally out of touch with their constituents. He is educated and cultured yet not elitist.
@iamsaved7 - Who described it as humble? We know very little about Obamas early life. Are you aware that Obamas father supposedly had ties to the CIA, he is related to Bush, and he is a Freemason? The doctored birth certificate only casts more suspicion on his origins.
That doesn't sound like a typical American to me.
@doit420sdf He is VERY distantly related to Bush and Freemasonry is (if that's even true) no reflection of one's origins. Jay-Z is believed to be a freemason, but he was raised in poverty.
Doctored birth certificate?... I refuse to have this conversation Donald Trump.
@iamsaved7 - No you are completely wrong on that. Unconstitutional actions do NOT automatically mean the expulsion of the president from office.
In fact, possibly because of the loop holes and ambiguity in the constitution, or more likely because of the sloth of the congress, the historical trend is that the executive branch has been assuming more and more unconstitutional power.. yet only one president has been impeaches AND expelled. Welcome to America.
@doit420sdf I stand by what I said... unconstitutionality (as upheld by Congress) = dismissal from office... it is for that reason that we have the impeachment process. Like all alleged criminals even the President must be proven guilty of a true crime. Fact is that the Constitution was designed to be ambiguous. If it were not this Union would not have "long endured". Your opinion on what is unconstitutional is just that... an opinion
@iamsaved7 - Your argument appears to be that any action that does not cause impeachment by congress is therefore, now, constitutional. This is clearly wrong. Congress has the choice to bring hearings or not... You may say they have a duty, and I would agree, but many accuse congress of losing its power due to not guarding it, and I think they make a good point.
@doit420sdf The Constitution and the idea of constitutionality are ambiguous for a reason. This allows these ideas to be defined by every generation according to that particular generation's values. Clinton could not be the same President that George Washington was. The constitution (and most laws for that matter) must therefore be flexible.
If our generation does not declare Obama's actions unconstitutional (by means outlined in the Constitution itself) then his actions ARE CONSTITUTIONAL.
@iamsaved7 - (cont.) Somewhat ambiguous maybe, the constitution is flexible, but it is not meant to be completely re-interpreted by a new generations values... the right to a trial, free speech, or to bear arms, and such, have steadfast definitions.. even though libs like Obama pervert these laws, they still bear their traditional definitions.
@doit420sdf You're right about one thing. The "right to keep and bear arms" has a steadfast definition. It is however for that very reason that it is one of the most hotly debated amendments. We no longer live in 1789 and that amendment's relevance is now in question. "Freedom of speech" however is not clear. It was meant originally to be a check against the type of censorship seen in Europe at the time. But in the age of Facebook, Twitter, and cyber-bullying, what is consider appropriate in...
@doit420sdf (cont.) written and spoken speech is being redefined in the hopes of promoting public safety and well-being. "Do people really have the right to say things with malicious intent".
Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase was considered unconstitutional by many. But the opined unconstitutionality of his actions was not upheld. He ended up setting a precedent for the purchase of new territory
@iamsaved7 - Safety comes at a price, and the Obama administration is fine with the suspension of personal liberties. Just curious, do you work for the government in some capacity?
Also- when you said Obama was loosely related to Bush and masonry.. according to the ring on his finger he is absolutely a freemason.
@iamsaved7 - I love how you wrote 'supposed freemasonry' ... check out the Newsweek pictures where Obama is clearly wearing a freemason ring.
If it is true that his father was in the CIA, and it looks like that is the case, then masonry becomes quite a big reflection on his origins. Its all interconnected.
@doit420sdf I lived in Alexandria,Va. for two years right next to the George Washington Masonic Memorial (an important site in the world of freemasonry) and never saw anyone go in or out of that building.It's an organization shrouded in mystery. One thing however is clear. One does not need to be born into freemasonry to acquire membership. I think it's more a reflection of his Ivy League education than anything else. Father in the CIA?lol A black Kenyan in the '60s?lol If true what does it say?
@iamsaved7 - If a president makes an error and does something blatantly un-constitutional, and the congress makes an error by not throwing the president out, the action is now constitutional? No.
If the congress declares that Obama is un-authorized to intervene in Libya (which they did), but doesn't throw him out, it means that Obamas actions are unconstitutional, but not important enough for expulsion.

The Japanese Emperor is the post of ultimate authority on the globe.And it is said The Japanese Emperor Family is descendants of Kings of The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. 'Yata no Kagami' of Three Sacred Treasures of Japanese Emperor passed on from generation to generation about 2,600 years ago.This is a mirror.The words is etched on the reverse of This mirror read:"אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה" ("I am that I am."in Hebrew characters). Jewish people in U.S. Should have respect for them.v^ v ^v
The Imperial House of Japan is The only 'official Emperor Family 'among more countries than 200 countries. And Japanese Emperor Family is the highest authority and the oldest on earth. Saxe-Coburg and Gotha like British Royal Family is family of humbler position than themself. The United States used to be a colony by the British Lion.In addition,Obama is sons of black ivory.He should be more grateful that Japanese Emperor Family invited sons of black slave into Tokyo Imperial Palace.v^▽^v
@buroilu Obama is not the descendant of slaves; his father is not african-america. And even if he were a descendant of slaves, many of them were the children of nobles and monarchs sold into slavery to weaken their respective states. The japanese emperor is no better than any other human being for if he were he would have actually ruled japan instead of being the tool of shoguns now relegated to a position of symbolism in Japan's constitutional monarchy.
@doit420sdf I couldn't care less who gets "assassinated" if it doesn't my life in a negative way. In truth, you couldn't care less yourself. Spare me the false indignation. It's not like Obeezy is any worse than any other leader of any other country. That's the business they're in. As for wrapping yourself in the majesty of the Constitution, it's lame; it's far beneath idiocy.
@upabittoolate - As a compassionate human being (firstly), and a defender of the constitution, I definitely do care about who gets assassinated and whether they get a trial.
I bet if someone you cared about was drone-attacked, you would change your tune too. As for your disregard of the constitution, that just goes to show how serious you are about politics.
@doit420sdf Spare me the shit about being a "compassionate human being". You're just some asshole posting comments on youtube. You don't even care about your next door neighbor. The people I care about ain't being attacked by drones. That's because, in some small part, our leaders actually do protect our country. You sound stupid otherwise. You're just trying to nitpick our president because you don't care for him. Your arguments are frail.
@upabittoolate - I don't care about people? Well you couldn't be more wrong about that. And I disagree about our leaders..
Drone assasinations aside, Obama and Holder are keeping Mexican mass graves packed with fresh bodies, including Americans, and you think they are protecting you? That's laughable. They are leading us to WW3 with every geo-political move they make... just as their overlords bid them to do.
@doit420sdf No. You don't really care bbout people. You tout being compassionate but how many holidays have you spent laddling gravy at a shelter? How many travelers have you stopped to give a ride? None. Stop all your fake indignation. You like living in America & reaping the benefits of not living in poverty like a 2rd world nation. Like it or not, presidents secure that comfort for you. Fight for the country overseas THEN tell me about drones.
@upabittoolate - It is you who needs to stop with the fake indignation! Im not sure why you assume the worst in people, but I can say that I have metaphorically laddled my ass off, when it was or wasn't convenient. Are you saying that you don't do these things?
Also, fighting overseas is the problem. None of these wars are defensive. The US should not be an empire and our wars are illegal and immoral. Support the troops by bringing them home, in spite of warmonger Obama!
It's quite permissible (if archaic) for an American to bow to an equal as a mark of respect...the members of Congress who bring messages to the other chamber still bow to the chair...what an American should not do is kneel or grovel to anyone.
who gives a fuck. with all the shit happening in the world you guys are worried about obama bowing?let him bow all the fuck he wants hes trying to keep peace and show that people like George Bush aren't America

What's the problem? The Emperor of Japan is the oldest continuing hereditary monarchy in the world. Emperors is recognized to be of a higher honor and rank than king by far.and the Emperor of Japan is the only official that title in the world. The Imperial House of Japanthe and European royal families, some jewie living Europe control US and world. Look up the address of FRB on the map! Barack Hussein Obama is Jewish. It is also said the japanese emreror is Tribe of Gad in israel.

Obama is kissing your jap asses while he takes your wallet!

I bow to no man, for instance I am a football fan, yet would not treat my teams quarterback any differently than any other man at the airport. Why would anyone bow to a man who leads a country you do not live in. I would simply shake the emperors hand firmly just like everyone else I meet. I feel that the only man I would treat any differently would be Ron Paul, I would also show respect to Mohatma Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Erich Von Daniken. Only because they inspire me.

when you go to another country and meeting the Head of the Nation, it is only right that you do so(in any way which is preferable), so that the host nation will know that the visiting person is from a civilised nation. its protocol, used by noble personages as you mentioned as well. peace.

I think that both leaders wanted to adjust to each other. Akihito instead of being bowing was showing the hand which is very unusual in Japan. In the oposit, Obama bowed, which is not typical in the USA. I agree that Obama's style is a lil bit awkward like he does not have a sense to do it correctly. Anyway, the important fact is that Obama is in the role of guest and Akihito is a host. I was always taught that the one who visits is the one who is supposed to show the respect first.

@95stangdude I never said I supported or agreed with my govt's actions now did I? Both govt's committed heinous crimes against humanity. The victims were citizens of the U.S, and JAPAN while the gov't has no repercussions for their actions. Japan still denies 'the Rape of Nanking' ever occurred. That is as ridiculous as denying the holocaust. War is EVIL and no form of "counter-terrorism" should justify today's blood shed either.

@95stangdude Agreed. I find it sad that neither the Japanese nor American government suffered any consequences. It's ironic that billions of dollars are invested into military equipment while no time is dedicated to peace talks - when in actuality isn't war fought for "peace?" War is evil and should not be justified for any reason. History most certainly will repeat itself.

I think it's appropriate that he bowed. He is a guest in their country, and he is showing respect to royalty. Bowing doesn't always mean submitting, it also means showing respect. Even though both parties equal rank as Heads of State, the emperor is still royalty, he's inherited his country through bloodlines and so his family is probably much more dedicated and loyal to their country. (Not saying Obama isn't!).

Bowing is one of the most important gesture in Japan to show sincerity. In Japan the idea is if you show others respect, people will show the same respect toward you.
Obama actually have a brain, so bowing is a polite move.
Some my fellow Americans will never understand the simple basic idea of showing mutual respect. They always believe bowing is losing, and the U.S (not all, just some people) can be sore losers. Always win through force is not victory, it is ego. Simple wisdom.

It is true that presidents amongst asian countries don't bow to each other cuz of historical enmity and pride...but it seems that Obama wants to show respect by applying asian way of greeting older aged peeps by bowing.

Obama marks a change in the mindset of American leadership. He is a cultured man with respect for other cultures. That is what this early video reflects.

What would be better would be a president with a backbone that supports the constitution. Remember that better presidents than Obama have declined to sign the air support orders.
doit420sdf 4 months ago
@doit420sdf Well we can agree on one thing at least. Bush is perhaps the worst to have presided over these United States. In my opinion however President Obama is one of the best. If only for the reason that his background most closely reflects that of the majority of Americans. In comparison to other president's (save Lincoln) his origins can only be described as humble. The others have all been fundamentally out of touch with their constituents. He is educated and cultured yet not elitist.
iamsaved7 4 months ago
@iamsaved7 - Who described it as humble? We know very little about Obamas early life. Are you aware that Obamas father supposedly had ties to the CIA, he is related to Bush, and he is a Freemason? The doctored birth certificate only casts more suspicion on his origins.

@iamsaved7 - No you are completely wrong on that. Unconstitutional actions do NOT automatically mean the expulsion of the president from office.
In fact, possibly because of the loop holes and ambiguity in the constitution, or more likely because of the sloth of the congress, the historical trend is that the executive branch has been assuming more and more unconstitutional power.. yet only one president has been impeaches AND expelled. Welcome to America.
Also.. (read second post)
doit420sdf 4 months ago
@doit420sdf I stand by what I said... unconstitutionality (as upheld by Congress) = dismissal from office... it is for that reason that we have the impeachment process. Like all alleged criminals even the President must be proven guilty of a true crime. Fact is that the Constitution was designed to be ambiguous. If it were not this Union would not have "long endured". Your opinion on what is unconstitutional is just that... an opinion
iamsaved7 4 months ago
@iamsaved7 - Your argument appears to be that any action that does not cause impeachment by congress is therefore, now, constitutional. This is clearly wrong. Congress has the choice to bring hearings or not... You may say they have a duty, and I would agree, but many accuse congress of losing its power due to not guarding it, and I think they make a good point.

Clinton could not be the same President that George Washington was. The constitution (and most laws for that matter) must therefore be flexible.
If our generation does not declare Obama's actions unconstitutional (by means outlined in the Constitution itself) then his actions ARE CONSTITUTIONAL.

@iamsaved7 - (cont.) Somewhat ambiguous maybe, the constitution is flexible, but it is not meant to be completely re-interpreted by a new generations values... the right to a trial, free speech, or to bear arms, and such, have steadfast definitions.. even though libs like Obama pervert these laws, they still bear their traditional definitions.

@doit420sdf You're right about one thing. The "right to keep and bear arms" has a steadfast definition. It is however for that very reason that it is one of the most hotly debated amendments. We no longer live in 1789 and that amendment's relevance is now in question. "Freedom of speech" however is not clear. It was meant originally to be a check against the type of censorship seen in Europe at the time. But in the age of Facebook, Twitter, and cyber-bullying, what is consider appropriate in...

@doit420sdf (cont.) written and spoken speech is being redefined in the hopes of promoting public safety and well-being. "Do people really have the right to say things with malicious intent".
Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase was considered unconstitutional by many. But the opined unconstitutionality of his actions was not upheld. He ended up setting a precedent for the purchase of new territory

@iamsaved7 - Safety comes at a price, and the Obama administration is fine with the suspension of personal liberties. Just curious, do you work for the government in some capacity?
Also- when you said Obama was loosely related to Bush and masonry.. according to the ring on his finger he is absolutely a freemason.

@doit420sdf Suspension of personal liberties? No, I don't work for the government at this time.
Obama's supposed freemasonry and (very) distant relation to Bush is at the end of the day no reflection of his origins.
iamsaved7 3 months ago
@iamsaved7 - I love how you wrote 'supposed freemasonry' ... check out the Newsweek pictures where Obama is clearly wearing a freemason ring.
If it is true that his father was in the CIA, and it looks like that is the case, then masonry becomes quite a big reflection on his origins. Its all interconnected.

@doit420sdf I lived in Alexandria,Va. for two years right next to the George Washington Masonic Memorial (an important site in the world of freemasonry) and never saw anyone go in or out of that building.It's an organization shrouded in mystery. One thing however is clear. One does not need to be born into freemasonry to acquire membership. I think it's more a reflection of his Ivy League education than anything else. Father in the CIA?lol A black Kenyan in the '60s?lol If true what does it say?

@iamsaved7 - If a president makes an error and does something blatantly un-constitutional, and the congress makes an error by not throwing the president out, the action is now constitutional? No.
If the congress declares that Obama is un-authorized to intervene in Libya (which they did), but doesn't throw him out, it means that Obamas actions are unconstitutional, but not important enough for expulsion.

The Japanese Emperor is the post of ultimate authority on the globe.And it is said The Japanese Emperor Family is descendants of Kings of The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. 'Yata no Kagami' of Three Sacred Treasures of Japanese Emperor passed on from generation to generation about 2,600 years ago.This is a mirror.The words is etched on the reverse of This mirror read:"אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה" ("I am that I am."in Hebrew characters). Jewish people in U.S. Should have respect for them.v^ v ^v

The Imperial House of Japan is The only 'official Emperor Family 'among more countries than 200 countries. And Japanese Emperor Family is the highest authority and the oldest on earth. Saxe-Coburg and Gotha like British Royal Family is family of humbler position than themself. The United States used to be a colony by the British Lion.In addition,Obama is sons of black ivory.He should be more grateful that Japanese Emperor Family invited sons of black slave into Tokyo Imperial Palace.v^▽^v

@buroilu Obama is not the descendant of slaves; his father is not african-america. And even if he were a descendant of slaves, many of them were the children of nobles and monarchs sold into slavery to weaken their respective states. The japanese emperor is no better than any other human being for if he were he would have actually ruled japan instead of being the tool of shoguns now relegated to a position of symbolism in Japan's constitutional monarchy.

As for wrapping yourself in the majesty of the Constitution, it's lame; it's far beneath idiocy.

@upabittoolate - As a compassionate human being (firstly), and a defender of the constitution, I definitely do care about who gets assassinated and whether they get a trial.
I bet if someone you cared about was drone-attacked, you would change your tune too. As for your disregard of the constitution, that just goes to show how serious you are about politics.

@doit420sdf Spare me the shit about being a "compassionate human being". You're just some asshole posting comments on youtube. You don't even care about your next door neighbor. The people I care about ain't being attacked by drones. That's because, in some small part, our leaders actually do protect our country. You sound stupid otherwise. You're just trying to nitpick our president because you don't care for him. Your arguments are frail.

@upabittoolate - I don't care about people? Well you couldn't be more wrong about that. And I disagree about our leaders..
Drone assasinations aside, Obama and Holder are keeping Mexican mass graves packed with fresh bodies, including Americans, and you think they are protecting you? That's laughable. They are leading us to WW3 with every geo-political move they make... just as their overlords bid them to do.

@doit420sdf No. You don't really care bbout people. You tout being compassionate but how many holidays have you spent laddling gravy at a shelter? How many travelers have you stopped to give a ride? None. Stop all your fake indignation. You like living in America & reaping the benefits of not living in poverty like a 2rd world nation. Like it or not, presidents secure that comfort for you. Fight for the country overseas THEN tell me about drones.

@upabittoolate - It is you who needs to stop with the fake indignation! Im not sure why you assume the worst in people, but I can say that I have metaphorically laddled my ass off, when it was or wasn't convenient. Are you saying that you don't do these things?
Also, fighting overseas is the problem. None of these wars are defensive. The US should not be an empire and our wars are illegal and immoral. Support the troops by bringing them home, in spite of warmonger Obama!

It's quite permissible (if archaic) for an American to bow to an equal as a mark of respect...the members of Congress who bring messages to the other chamber still bow to the chair...what an American should not do is kneel or grovel to anyone.

What's the problem? The Emperor of Japan is the oldest continuing hereditary monarchy in the world. Emperors is recognized to be of a higher honor and rank than king by far.and the Emperor of Japan is the only official that title in the world. The Imperial House of Japanthe and European royal families, some jewie living Europe control US and world. Look up the address of FRB on the map! Barack Hussein Obama is Jewish. It is also said the japanese emreror is Tribe of Gad in israel.
