Obama Bows To Emperor of Japan & Other Goofy Moments

[Babylauncher3000]

Emperor Akihito is bowing back in the very picture you say he isent bowing in. Given it isent nearly as deep as Obama's but considering Emperor is a higher rank then President, and the fact The Emperor is 76 years old its not supriseing he isent bowing all the way over. Why do you insist on making this a big deal with its not at all.

I think Obama is very smart for doing this because he knew the fact that he aint white, he could be a great role model for young black kids.

[Nick83Fairfax]

@jmantalbot American Presidents are not supposed to bow to foreign monarchs. They don't bow and curtsy to him. If Obama had been raised in the United States he would understand the rationale behind this. As it is, when he should have been learning about American exceptionalism and American history, he was learning koranic surras in Indonesia

omg.. look at the empress.. she looks like a japanese doll!

You idiot, the Emperor of Japan NEVER bows to anyone. Obama is an elected official, visiting the EMPEROR'S country, the EMPEROR does not have to bow. In fact since the Emperor is installed via the Divine Right of Kings, he bows to NO ONE. The only time the Emperors of Japan ever bow, is as a sign of respect to the war dead entombed at the Yasukuni Shrine. Why dont you learn something first, you ignorant bastard. Go travel the world or read a fuckin book, you redneck fuck!!

[damahduq]

hii!!! I don't want tell anything before sift my words,, i guess it's the same thing too when we see something, so the first thing comes in our mind, if u like it or not? that's the first wrong judgment, the question is not,if i do like it or not,, just to find the equation for all that,, Obama is smart,, he knows what he is doing,i can say, show his respect but,, he always left behind him the effect for these countries to come back looking for him,,, like they said,, one stone two birds,,

[blt40]

he can come on over and bow to me anyday.

[Tenki09]

またこれ・・・。人達は本当に無知ですよね。お辞儀というのは降­伏ではありませんよ。まずは日本のマナーを正しく習って下さい。

This again ！Everbody is really ignorant. Declining (bow) doesn't mean submission. First of all learn properly the manners of Japan please.

[otterboxiphone]

@Tenki09 Descent of war criminal, you have no place here.

[tinytina789]

I wish it to be known that I have an enormous knob. Thank you.

[jimmmmybrady]

Obama was put through Harvard by the SAudis through Khalid al Mansour.

[jimmmmybrady]

The bow in Japan just gave him cover so the Saudi bow wouldn't stand alone.

[lovealldogs88]

@jimmmmybrady don't forget the bow to the Queen of England, although it wasn't nearly as deep a bow as to the Saudi or the Emperor.

[jimmmmybrady]

@lovealldogs88 he Saudi bow was the first,after the photos came out Obama had to cover his tracks.

[omarofuae]

@lovealldogs88 Saudi of the emperor? LOL!!

[lovealldogs88]

@omarofuae thats an OR not an OF lol

[goliathlup1]

Lol an the photo with the girl! I don't blame them though, its more like a reflex! If Gaddafi was there he would probably have to rape her to stay true to his beliefs.

[iamthenutty]

respect a king is a good. and Americans knows how to respect good people:) love u America

[akaospirits]

Courtesy is the inseparable companion of virtue.

[helldog134]

[restf0rm]

[restf0rm]

"NObama" seriously?

[firstgovs]

lol

[MontyPython134]

OBOWma is a disgrace.

[katemahalhk]

It is called respect for other people's culture. It builds better relations with other countries.

Dumbass

[gamekid55]

its good manners, its not being submissive

[turisas1234]

"Showing respect to other cultures is not a sign of weakness."

What happens when they show no respect back, such as a return gesture.

[GrandMajesties]

why embarrassing?

you american jackasses you think you are Gods! you're nothing to us! good americans are not hated only those american deluded fools who think they are the suprior human race.

[Freebird101st]

STFU please.

: )

[Muzicboxtecnotunez]

wow.. keep it cool dude, nobody is a superior human race... i'm absolutely against racism, you know? and for the ground kissing: its so not done, people will think you're crazy when you do that

[turisas1234]

We're not a race of people, bud. We're a united group of people.

[Darverses]

We're "gods" because we don't have statues of giant little girls with upskirt shots and we don't blow each other up like they do in other countries. Granted, we have some pretty fucked up shit but we don't let that define us like Japan has with hentai or Iran with their Muslim "Extremists."

[GrandMajesties]

oh thank you for telling the world how deluded you are...yup your country is mostly occupied by gigantic ugly fugly miserable girls we call obese...oh you bomb and kill your own people and blame muslims as an excuse to steal oil which your pathetic country is not blessed with..."we don't let that define us" so you have the right (and only you) to define things now? oh i forgot you are a GOD. Hentai? Extremist? What bout Deluded white monkey? lol

[BrandonTheRemix]

@GrandMajesties

Come do something about it then, until kiss Americas asshole and shut your bitch mouth, by the way, get the fuck off this american website

[archangel670]

@GrandMajesties REALLYYYYYYYY most americans consider themselves EQUAL to everyone else. im sure there is a percentage of us that feel superior to other races but those people feel superior to their fellow americans as well..that same kinda bad element exists on every continent in every nation..theres bad apples in every bunch..so while were on the whole equality thing do you hate the others in every nation including your own whatever that be..that feel superior to us.. or other nations..or you?

[GrandMajesties]

no the people who are offended by this are american jack asses who delude themselves of being "THE SUPERIOR HUMAN RACE".

[sim549]

bottom line, when deuchebag bowed to two foreign leaders, how come not one bowed back. where was their show of respect. huh, liberal fuck?

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

STOP GETTING ALONG WITH PEOPLE OBAMA. What are you trying to do? IMPROVE WORLD TIES? When Bush was in office 1/3 of the world hated us! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO STOP THAT OBAMA? ITS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ALLIANCES OR SOMETHING. WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH.

[GhastlyBroad]

Maybe he should have walked up to him and groped the back of his neck like Bush did to the German Chancellor?

[visfati]

@GhastlyBroad

I don't remember Bush doing that. If he did, it's certainly out of form. However, I'd rather see a president be inappropriately casual with a foreign leader rather than offer a gesture of submissiveness to a foreign dictator.

[visfati]

@visfati

Revision: the charge of "dictator" is more appropriate for others Obama bowed to. Not so much the Japanese emperor, who isn't all that powerful.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

So let me get this straight.

Conservatives have a problem with BOWING, but they're alright with BARFING on a Japanese leader, and holding hands with and FRENCH KISSING a Saudi prince.

[Muzicboxtecnotunez]

remember John Paul II the former pope to the vaticane? that guy used to kiss the ground whenever he traveled abroad... i hope obama wont start doing the same thing there... that would be really embarassing..

[KimInLosAngeles]

Japanese royals KNEEL & BOW at the shrines of World War 2 Class-A war criminals who TORTURED US, UK, & Aussie soldiers.

The war criminals are worshipped as GODS in Japan.

Somebody tell this US prez about that!

Even very liberal press, The Los Angeles Times criticized Obama for bowing.

Google search: Japanese torture methods WW2

[onecelticwarrior]

20 bucks says Michelle wears a strap-on.

[30rifles]

no he didnt bow jeez why would u say he bowed he simply just bent over for a hand shake!!!!! or did he?

[flapjacks28]

Obama is a disgrace.

[cegaspire]

IT JUST BURNS YOU UP THAT WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT. YOU JUST CAN'T TAKE IT. EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU GET TO SAY SOMETHING IGNORANT, YOU DO. Keep making the stupid comments. It makes YOU look bad. The ONLY reason that the emperor didn't bow back is because he is OLD, and probably can't BEND his BACK, you idiot...

[sih1688]

obama is doing the bow wrong while shaking hand, no body do that with Japanese, or even among themselves. Bow low show that you are in low status, and you don't bow lower with an elderly person, because the elderly person can't bow low back.

[jackmomoff]

He shoulda just pulled down his pants and taken a shit in front of that god damn Jap. That would of shown em American power and strength. This is a disgrace!!! We are not weak! We need a republican back in office!

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

and you must be a jackass for saying racist shit like that

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

Racist people are childish and stupid..not grown

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

I don't remember Native Americans wearing rags...hmmm

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

actually, I'm a lot taller than you

[GrandMajesties]

i'm not white but i'm tall...yao ming is tall though he's not white...hmmnnn another deluded white monkey here...

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

I never said you were white

[joydivisionfanboy]

But ON AVERAGE...white people are taller. fact.

[GrandMajesties]

opinion.

[sweetybek]

These kinda critics makes Americans stupid because afterall, America is a christian state and for people who takes humblness for weakness should just shut up! because he is the best example of Americans nation that I have ever seen!!!

[heomak]

I'm once again reminded of how arrogant some Americans are. Is it any wonder that the international community has been hating on America. If anything, this is just a harmless and respectful gesture. So what if the Emperor didn't bow back? He's freakign 76 years. Give the old man a break!

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

Yeah those Americans that somehow unapprove of Obama bowing to the emperor represent a small fringe portion of a dying group in America who likes to post on the internet to try to make there numbers seem larger then they really are.

[heomak]

Obama bowing to the elderly Emperor is actually quite touching and culturally considerate on his part.

There is a hundred million more important things going on but all you conservatives want is to hate on Obama.  Making a hue and cry about a harmless bowing gesture speaks volumes about your immaturity.

[GhastlyBroad]

WTF is wrong with you people!? It's a sign of respect to greet someone in Japan with this gesture ESPECIALLY AN EMPORER! If you want to see a US president embaress America look up George W Bush!

[TwilightZoneClone]

Good music choice 5*****

[The1970lemans]

I guess some of these folks never shook hands before! Beats ducking from shoes though!

[wasabepasta]

We all bow to each other in Japan, we just don't shake hands. In fact, we esteem and hold in even higher respect any foreigner who is so conscientious in respecting our customs.

Likewise, Japanese would rather not shake hands - who knows where those hands have been?

[tenacioustaut]

What the Pope is to Christains is as what the Emperor of Japna is to Japanese.

[HomeTownPublishing]

honky

[TonyCook2012]

awesome. it aint kindly, but its true.

[Markus77x7]

US President Obama bows in submission to the Japanese Emperor.

America's WWII veterans are rolling in their graves.

[tenacioustaut]

Obama bows to the emepror as a polite sign

[GhastlyBroad]

Bull, My father is a US vet and he sees nothing wring with this!

[TheONESSESOFGOD]

thats respct retards ok

[pppllluuummm]

obama is not a god, our emperor is. respect our culture, it's just the way things are done. in some cultures women dont hand shake with other men, do you think that obama should force those women to shake his hand?? no. it's just a different culture.

[oxyman10]

He's not bowing properly, he bowing like he wants to get fucked in the ass!

[shakaz01]

God of what sushi and squid or those poor whales? lmao

[JBodine67]

I believe the President was simply showing respect to his hosts...

[ClassicFIHD]

So then you must think the Emperor of Japan is disrespecting Obama as he is not bowing.

[JBodine67]

No,Like I said ,it was a gesture on the President's part to be respectful to his hosts.I see no disrespect here from either party;only cordial handshakes and a bow, from a man who is reaching out to the world, for the betterment of the country he's in charge of.

[ClassicFIHD]

America doesn't bow to any country, at least it never did before it got weak.

First 2 Definitions from Merrium-Webster

1) to cease from competition or resistance : submit, yield

2) to bend the head, body, or knee in reverence, submission, or shame

[Acnegoddess]

@ClassicFIHD

do you see how old that man is? and you want him to bow! it looks like he was having a hard time just standing there.

[Demama777]

A TEACHABLE MOMENT !

WATCH

THIS vvvv

watch?v=TZBTyTWOZCM

[starVol]

It is not surprisng this Obama Guy is bowing again.

[LizzyxDarcy]

How the hell did this freak become president ? I mean really, America...

[tochjo772]

i,m japanese and wow~ he really sets nice standard for others nation to follow lol

[MrChadperkins]

Think about the scene in Superman when General Zod says no one who leads so many would ever bow to anyone.

[a2r7n6]

How about if Obama kisses his feet next?

[ConcernedAmericans]

"Welcome to Japan. You will be called Obama-The-Groveling."

[infodirts]

This simple gesture will get overblown by the fear-incited conservative republicans with the help of the slanted FOX *NEWS*

[altarickorean]

Bush's dance with saudi king was more funny. search it on tube.

[Jethro212]

How long till Obama bows to the American Tax Payer?! Assclown bows to everyone on the planet except the people who pay for his jet setting money blowing carbon spewing trips.

[xanh01]

Good point Jethro212, I pay you salary Obama, why dont you bow me as tax payer ? Of course, bowing is the Japanese tradition. But Obama and the emperor should bow to each other in return as leader to leader. Something wrong with this guy, he loves to be a submissive person. Obama forgets that he is a leader of a nation, where is your national pride ? I thought slavery was no longer existed at least in the U.S. He bows like a slave to a master.

[LizzyxDarcy]

Well said...

[vmpslr2]

well that's just great ??/maybe we should all bow down/LOL

[jpopaholic]

Obama is just as bad as the leaders he bows to and shakes hands with

[KFCHaunting]

Obama is a wimp.

[USoSilly2Me]

Looks like Obama is on the low down, when he bows.

Funny how he meets with all these people who hate America, but refuses to meet with Fox News.
