@RBkidd510 Thanks for watching. Please read the consitution. Our president is a head of state and is hot allowed to bow to other heads of sate, unless he has a bad back.
@ConservativeStudios He wasn't bowing in the manner of absolute praise and surrender, like a subject of a king. In Japan, bowing is the equivalent of shaking hands. Its a respectful greeting. And respect and understanding is key to any foreign policy with a strong ally like Japan. Despite what you may think, acting tough and ignoring customs may make a president look tough in your eyes, but beside disrespectful and immature its not very helpful in foreign affairs.
Grow up!..Bow this!!!..That's why our whole world is fuck up!..Is people like this guy here on this video. Caring about who bows to who...George Bush bows to the Sadi's everyday...Or should I say!..Kiss ass...Demo and Rep's alike...They both SUCK!!!!!....Go independent...

In Japanese culture you bow as a greeting, not just to royalty. Is respecting the customs of another country in which you are a guest also banned in the United States Constitution?
@Myles0Harcourt No! Except for one person.our Head of State who is considered equal to the Emperor and other royalty. Any one else in America should bow out of courtesy. It's protocal. Thanks for the intelligent question.

P. Obama met the patriarch Elder of the Japanese Royal family and Head of State. People of Japan are about dignity and respect. This exchange satisfies diplomatic protocol and shows Japanese industry and consumers; America appreciates your ongoing business, tourism and trade.
Wonder if the author equally criticized P. Bush when greeting with a kiss, tyrants like Gaddafi, Mubarak and the Royal Saud’s?

@ConservativeStudios I find it funny that I was defending Obama for his politefulness. You should just leave these people alone rather than copy/paste your comment and mindlessly reply to everyone you see, even when thier against your cause.
Of course you are going to bow to king or emperor in his kingdom or empire. Because king or emperor represent the entire people, so when you bow, you don't bow really to person, you bow and show respect to entire nation. When presidents visit Republics, they bow to flag, and when they visit kingdoms/empries, they bow to king/emperor...
Indeed, American friends - what is wrong with your President bowing to the rightful emperor of Japan? No, I ask this quite seriously - why DO some people here seem to object so? Are not America and Japan ALLIES?
There's nothing wrong with bowing. President Obama is a respected men for the United States of America. He is trying to show our nation how friendly and respected we are to the world. Compare to the past... The Chinese would say: don't look up on the sky, there might be something on the ground that will trip-you-over. Which that came true when US entered the second Iraq-war.
The President of The United States of American should show respect when visiting leaders of other countries. The President should be well versed in world affairs when representing the United States. But most importantly, they should be SMART. Starting at 1:26 you showed the biggest embarrasement that America had to offer when it came to a world leader. Then you really had to stick it to us Americans when you through in Dick Cheney and that bimbo Sarah Paling. MY GOD!!! OBAMA 2012! OBAMA 2012!
@ConservativeStudios : I see. If it's a protocol then I understand. Sorry but no offense, I just thought that bowing is alright for showing respect. Thanks for the info. Different cultures, different traditions and belief :)
@ConservativeStudios Stop complaining. Obama was a guest in the emperor's residence. Its necessary to show the respect for that, and he did in the traditional Japanese form. But by all means, if you ever meet the emperor, go right ahead and not bow and forever be labeled a jackass.
Where does it say that a president isn't supposed to bow while in office? Is that by referendum or executive order? The rest of us never heard about it Moron. You rise when the judge walks into his court. You kyung nae when the sabu nim walks into the dojang. You stand up when a woman enters or exits the room (you also hold her door). You take off your hat when you enter a building (you doff it when you cross another drifter on the road). You stand during the anthem. They're called "customs".
@upabittoolate Heads of state do not bow to anyone. It's called protocol. Now, of course, It would be great to make Barack a non-'Head of state. We Republicans are trying our best. Oh, and I ain't no Morman, although I do like Romney.
@ConservativeStudios That's utter nonsense. In fact, the head of state, being a country's main representative, has to be the ultimate diplomat. You republicans are idiots for 1. And if you Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Romney & Santorum are your "best", you're toast.
bowing is a friendly manner in Asia, and of coz shaking hands is a friendly manner in the western civilization, well we can see both of them in this occasion.
as i can see that you are very arrogant, redneck-ish and republican-ish.
the problem with free speech is that idiots like you get to say idiotic stuff like this... i do not agree with you, but i will defend your right to spew such imbecile statements even if it takes me to the grave... would you do the same?
@Kookas Extremely well put. Thank you. I'm American. I'm cocky. I cop to it. But I wouldn't dare go abroad & embarrass myself or my country by not showing due respect to other cultures & their customs even if I think said customs are silly, demeaning or antiquated. This video is exactly why the term "The Ugly American".
@Babylauncher3000 Liberals shuddering in horror is not a bad thing for America. Maybe they'll become conservatives like former Democrat Ronald Reagan!
My previous commanding officer said to me as I started my appointment as an exchange in the Royal Navy: "Bernd, when you are in Rome do as the Romans do" and "run your unit like you run your unit". As a recently appointed German officer I took my CO's advice very seriously and it worked out splendidly.
Honouring the host with perfect manners honours also the guest!
@bernd24340 - That is not always an apt metaphor. If you were in Rome during the 40's, would you do as the romans and align yourself with Hittler? The bigger picture is that Japan wants a powerful ally, one which can protect it. Over bowing, by Japans own standards is awkward and shows weakness.. not to mention its rejection of Americans traditional contempt for feudal traditions, colonialism, hegemony or Japanese war crimes.
Bush was a donkey! And very stupid! The reason of a lot of embarrassment to his administration and America because of the the shallowness of his thinking and stupid reactions! And for making the whole world hate America! Obama is now trying to improve America's image in the eyes of of the world But he gets criticism from the Idiots Republicans? The American people will be the most stupid people in the world if they went up to electe a Republican for the White House again.
Don't cry because of Obama? he is only one man? Cry for the entire country, which soon will kneel? the collapsing of America is so near? such as what happened with the Soviet Union!
Might as well suck all the kings, president, emperor, etc. Dicks Obama you make the USA look like it's worthless, why don't you get out of the office and let a real president in office.
You should tell him not to shake hands with people he meets in America, because that's pretty much the same as asking him to stop bowing while in other countries among other cultures.
@ConservativeStudios Its if like the japanese said, "we will never shake hands with an american president, it means we are gay, only couples hold hands". Bowing isnt a bid deal, in japan there was a time when shaking hands was something nobody had ever seen, yet they dont think is some sort of satanic ritual or gay disgrace. So stop making fun of the man, he didnt do anything wrong, theres nothing wrong with it, as there is nothing wrong with shaking hands. stop being conservative.
Wow. An American president is not supposed to be in a secret society yet your lover Bush was. But I guess a harmless gesture is more important. Either this video is satire or this guy in ignorant.
@ConservativeStudios you are a symbol of ignorance and intolerance, and this video wreaks of an over developed sense of self importance, and for the record "bowing" in most parts of world (and i'm not talking about that little dream world you seem to live in where america is the only country) is considered a greeting for anyone be it a citizen or the "head of state", this video is disgusting, and you disgrace this nation by calling yourself an american
@bigbatonline not when obama is bowing 90 degree. The degree of your bow indicate the rank in japanese culture. The japanese monarch clearly did not bow that much. Obama's bowing show that he is below the Japanese monarch.
@bigbatonline What's interesting to me is, if this is a sign of respect, why didn't the Japanese guy bow in return? Or the King of Saudi Arabia for that matter. We bow but they don't??? There is more than meets the eye here. You should bow to no one not even your Sensei. Culture aside, Nobody on this planet is better than anyone else, bowing has a groveling aspect to it, A good firm handshake while looking the person in the eye is mutual respect. We have forgotten the meaning of Sovereignty.
It's common knowledge that Obama make an obeisance to The Emperor of Japan.The emperor of Japan is the only official emperor in the world and the oldest emperor's family. They have a concealed immense sum of money.
Echelon in the world has rules that need to be followed.

He is a Emperor. That is the highest noble rank on the planet, even higher then a King or Queen. Reguardless of actual goverment power the Emperor of Japan is a symbol of the Japanese people and their history. Bowing to him is simply saying that Obama respects the entire nation of Japan and all the people in it. Please dont be so close minded and stupid the next time you speak.
Who cares is ha bowed to the emperor! Your exactly the kind of man who will help elect a fascist dictator into office. Do you really think Bush 2 cares anything about you. The masses in America are cannon fodder. The rich are meant to rule the world and the poor to do the slave labor. People are so easily fooled and I mean even me. How can anyone make a truely informed decision.
go look up the video nixon in china with the english narrator u can see closely when mao and nixon meet that he does just a little bow sir the president is just showing respect to the emperor they revere him with god like status in japan so it is only natural to show him respect
@SpiritJaivyn Yes, for everyone but out Head of State. BTW- Why didn't the War Criminal's son return the "formal greeting?" Because he knows protocol, unlike Soetero.
@ConservativeStudios Because he was taken aback because an American bowed to him while shaking a hand, which isn't part of the custom. If you look, you can see he does bow to Obama but awkwardly while shaking a hand.
Still people on here talking about how bad america is. Every country in the world have bad things in there history.We have stood for human rights all over the world. Not only that but we started the car industry, internet, Best upgrades in healthcare and pushed for freedom all over the world. We lead the way and many countries that we had nothing to do with have looked to us to build there own freedom.As a whole no country in the world has done so much for the rest of the world as we have.
@Gahillbillyusa If you cant see this you are a ungreatful piece of crap. Germany was were many of my family died to stop there people from ethnic clensing. Yet we dont blame them it was hitler and we stopped him. We stood for what we felt was right. It didnt always work out that way. But it never does, If you ever done anything in your life you would know that. Can you really say you would have the right to even talk about us. If we hadnt lead the whole world into the idea of freedom.
@CadVentor Im 10 years older than you. What are you saying the jews wasnt killed by hitler? or that we wasnt in that war to stop him? I dont think the people of Germany are like that. I think it was a bad time and a bad leader. My dad lived that war so did my uncle.
@Gahillbillyusa germany was chosen as a scapegoat by zionist americans to finance there zionist state.germans are the victems of ww2 not the jews. the jews didn't fight and got a land wich dosent belong to them.it was the americans who financed and suported hitler from the verry beginning, wene everyone was tierd in europe the americans came to occupy europe,and they are still here
@CadVentor I guess you have proof of all this crap I hear everyone talk this kinda stuff. But it never rings true. Just like the towers benludin claimed he did it. Germany was at war with many countries like russia, england and the USA. Show some kinda proof or its all bull. Eveyone wants to blame there problems on someone else. It wasnt backed by the USA At that time we were broke like now.
@ConservativeStudios Sorry to come off that way. I dont want anyone to bow to anyone else. I seen someone from Germany talking about America being hate filled murderers. I remember my dad setting up at night telling me as a medic he wish he could have done more people died all around him. Many time all he could do is watch. My uncle set many nights and cried on his bed cause, it dont matter if you have to or not you never forget a life you took. Its never right,its just what we had to do.
@akadaka69 "Respect" when a private citizen does it. "Disgraceful groveling," when a fellow head of state does it. Why didn't the emperor bow back? He knows protocol!
@ConservativeStudios your understanding of cultural differences is very limited!! Barack Obama is showing THIER form of respect, he understands cultural differences. Not everyone in the world follows western ideology. The emperor of Japan is an old man of old blood. Anyways george bush kissed the saudi king and held his hand.. he understood that in their culture, kissing between men is commonplace...it is no sign of weakness - its a reflection of the respectful american character!
@ConservativeStudios -'disgraceful groveling" - whatever.This whole issue is so beyond pathetic and stupid. You're right, pompous cowboy pricks are better.
why do you even care about these bullshit issues anyway. Jesus was humble and would have no trouble bowing before all. I can't even believe that you think this is an issue. What a retard and hypocrite.
@TheCuppycakedelight5 - I would imagine Jesus bowed after the Romans kicked the shit out of him - not sure what your obscure point is there. What doesn't make sense is why a bunch of neocons would whine incessantly about protocol minutia - a complete and utter no- issue. (Read the above two highest rated comments for a reality check.)
@bnfox you can be respectful without bowing , despite cultural dictations. Why is Obama the First president in all American History to ever bow to a dignitary ,another world leader. Jesus king of the universe was as respectful as could be , but he doesn't need to bow to anyone. There was nothing obscure about what I said at all.
@TheCuppycakedelight5 - whatever - go beat some other stupid dead horse. How about being a birther?? And screw you and your bullshit religious garbage.
@TheCuppycakedelight5 -actually none of the idiots out there know there are plenty of precedents - Teddy Roosevelt bowed to the emperor of Japan, too (and everyone knows what an America hating pussy Teddy was).And of course, Bush held hands and smacked each other's fannies with the Saud king- that's pretty sweet.
and I DARE some assholes to rip on my comments. All you leftists can go to hell. The internet made you left wingers strong did it? sitting behind your safe monitor... strangers growing in numbers lurking in the shadows... let me ask you a question... how blissfull is it to be so ignorant? have a nice life you leftist fucks.
I'm from Japan and it's safe to say that I think Obama is a fucking idiot..This clown is a definitely a one-termer. The minute this man opens his mouth is laughable. He sounds like a used car salesman..he's nothing more than a puppet for the U.S. Govt.
oh yea your facts are right! I checked all the top experts, and they agree yea Bush soley caused the housing bubble, and Bush is also responsible for 6 decades of gross over spending. OMG you guys, hartaberFakt is a fawking genius!

My previous commanding officer said to me as I started my appointment as an exchange in the Royal Navy: "Bernd, when you are in Rome do as the Romans do" and "run your unit like you run your unit". As a recently appointed German officer I took my CO's advice very seriously and it worked out splendidly.
Honouring the host with perfect manners honours also the guest!

@bernd24340 Your CO was right. But Obama is the U.S. Head of State and different rule apply. Protocol, you know.
ConservativeStudios 1 year ago
@bernd24340 - That is not always an apt metaphor. If you were in Rome during the 40's, would you do as the romans and align yourself with Hittler? The bigger picture is that Japan wants a powerful ally, one which can protect it. Over bowing, by Japans own standards is awkward and shows weakness.. not to mention its rejection of Americans traditional contempt for feudal traditions, colonialism, hegemony or Japanese war crimes.

Bush was a donkey! And very stupid! The reason of a lot of embarrassment to his administration and America because of the the shallowness of his thinking and stupid reactions! And for making the whole world hate America! Obama is now trying to improve America's image in the eyes of of the world But he gets criticism from the Idiots Republicans?

@ConservativeStudios Its if like the japanese said, "we will never shake hands with an american president, it means we are gay, only couples hold hands". Bowing isnt a bid deal, in japan there was a time when shaking hands was something nobody had ever seen, yet they dont think is some sort of satanic ritual or gay disgrace. So stop making fun of the man, he didnt do anything wrong, theres nothing wrong with it, as there is nothing wrong with shaking hands. stop being conservative.

@bigbatonline What's interesting to me is, if this is a sign of respect, why didn't the Japanese guy bow in return? Or the King of Saudi Arabia for that matter. We bow but they don't??? There is more than meets the eye here. You should bow to no one not even your Sensei. Culture aside, Nobody on this planet is better than anyone else, bowing has a groveling aspect to it, A good firm handshake while looking the person in the eye is mutual respect. We have forgotten the meaning of Sovereignty.

@ConservativeStudios your understanding of cultural differences is very limited!! Barack Obama is showing THIER form of respect, he understands cultural differences. Not everyone in the world follows western ideology. The emperor of Japan is an old man of old blood.
