If you can persuade the Vietnamese to forgive the Americans for what they did in the Vietnam War, then maybe the Chinese and Koreans might give your poor speech a consideration.
These atrocities did not happen to you or your ancestors, so you are not in a position to speak.

President Obama shows respect for the customs of Japan. When you are the most powerful man on Earth, you don't have to be afraid to bow.
I believe that he will continue to show the respect he has for other leaders and countries after he is re-elected in 2012.
You have been schooled.....

@Dragonzrkool88 But do you realize that now over 50 years later they have completely changed? There is no good holding onto hatred when the country you hate has changed for the better long ago. I know it's hard, but try to let go of your anger. What's done is done. No need to be prejudice towards the Japanese, especially now. Same with the Germans. Don't forget about what the Americans have done. I watched a documentary on WW2, so I have a good idea of how bad the Japanese soldiers were...

@Kizz7773 Are you stupid can you not understand sarcasm?
but even though my comment was supposed to be ironic because I think there is nothing wrong with showing respect to another culture I should mention WWII. I never said anything about "taking over Japan" but WWII is the perfect example of the US getting what they want through their Military.
-
@toungetied98 are you stupid you couldn't even take over vietnam never mind japan lol
-
@xiaogoudelaohu How dare he show respect. Doesn't he know that the only way the US is supposed to get what we want is through our military? geez Obama get with it.
-
Why do you americans seem to hate presidents who don't make complete dicks of themselves when they meet foreign premiers?
-
what about all the Americans murdered and raped by other American "beasts"? Sick american scum! let us stereotype an entire nation based on their military history. Oh and which peace loving country did your ancestors come from?
-
Obama is a Japanese worshipping uncle tom!
Sick Jap scum! Don't forget the Chinese & Koreans who were raped and murdered by the souless Jap beasts!
We will never forget the Japanese death camps! Japs never say sorry, they have no souls, so they have no shame!
-
This is the bow everyone's freaked out over?
Are Republicans(And any americans who actually view this negatively) so uneducated/ignorant about the outside world that they think the President has to be some bad ass that he shouldn't bow to people or even make others bow to him?
-
All the comments here just prove how retarded conservative americans are. No need to let Obama 'disgrace' your country with a bow, you already disgrace yourselves by being so retarded.

@dechha1981 I don't meant to intervene, but I don't think ducks say quack, but they "go" quack. :D :D :P
-
it's embarrassing for jingoistic pricks
and contrary to popular belief, not everyone in the US is one of those
-
well bowing in japan is like shaking hands in europe or america and it's not even considered act of good manner in japan (i live in japan).
-
now now evey he just wanted to see how small an asian penis was
-
@MohammedThePedophile Well, whataya know, a racist ignorant Conservative. Well, shouldn't suprise me, "Conservatives are Racist" is almost as common knowledge as "In Japan people bow insteadof shaking hands".
-
@MohammedThePedophile And, honestly, how the fuck is it even remotely possible to be unaware that people bow in Japan instead of shaking hands? Does the American Education system pretend that the entire planet is just the Continental United States and Water? Seriously, I've heard Republicans quote CHENEY when talking about Japanese customs! Asif they had no idea that Japan existed before the Bush administration!
-
LOL!
YOU'RE the one who gets all you info on Japan from TV fucktard!
You ever been to the Japanese Consulate in Melbourne? You ever learned Japanese in School? You ever met a Japanese person?
Why would it even OCCUR to you that anyone's primary source of information on a foregin country would be tV? Did they not teach you anything in school? This is Grade 1 stuff! Right up there with "Ducks say quack".
-
and he is bowing to the leader of another country to show respect. as i said before, it's a greeting.
-
@MohammedThePedophile amen
-
@justplainninja he himself is a leader of a country............its embarrassing for the US
-
i think Obama is polite person!
so that, its very kind to our emperor!
i have nice impression!
it doesn't concern with that i hate US or political issue's crap!
anyway Obama is nice person looks like!
-
Yes they are supposed to bow to their superiors in Japan, and as for not returning the gesture, in western society, a handshake, as he did, is the polite thing to do. And yeah maybe he does feel superior, he will rule for about 40 years, same as most emperors, and believes their family is divine. Obama will see his term out, if he's lucky.
-
@SkillzMilloy what do you have to confirm this?
SO WHAT?! IT´S JUST A FUCKING BOW!

First of all, it apologizes for a thing not good at English.
The bow is treated as not the meaning of surrender but manners. The bow of Japan is a ceremony, and a culture a kind of of certain. It is the same as the greeting that matches the hand of Thailand as a sense.
I want you to see this animation basing such a thing.
