On President Obama’s Bow to the Japanese Emperor, An Academic Friend Writes That Both the Left and the Right Are Wrong - ABC News

An old friend — an academic with expertise about the Japanese Empire, and in general a supporter of President Obama — sends me the following note, relating to photographs of President Obama bowing to Emperor Akihito of Japan.

rt obama akihito 091115 main On President Obamas Bow to the Japanese Emperor, An Academic Friend Writes That Both the Left and the Right Are Wrong

"This picture shows two things," my friend writes.

"1) The 'right' is wrong about Obama's bow.

"2) The 'left' is wrong about Obama's bow.

"His bow is neither (1) unprecedented nor (2) a sign of cultural understanding.

"At their 1971 meeting in Alaska, the first visit of a Japanese Emperor to America, President Nixon bowed and referred to Emperor Hirohito and his wife repeatedly as 'Your Imperial Majesties.'"

Why didn't he bow to Queen Elizabeth when he met her?

No, I know the answer why he's willing to bow to a Muslim king and not a Christian queen. I'm throwing the question out there to make a point.

No - you do not know the correct answer on the Queen
What is the correct answer for bowing to Saudi Royalty

Like I stated- I purposely did not post the link knowing that a Romney supporter would in all probability bite.
Is that trolling - Nope-

Royal Etiquette

How to Greet The Queen

Royal Etiquette: This is how we should greet the queen.

Greet as Her Majesty, then as ma'am

Do not bow or curtsy if you are not British.


Unless you are British, you do not have to curtsy in the presence of the queen.

According to ABC news*, British women do a small curtsy and men bow their heads when meeting the queen.

"As an American when you're actually meeting the queen you don't have to do a curtsy or a bow because she's not the head of the state of America," Paul Gauger, the director of regional press for VisitBritain, offered his advice to 'Good Morning America'.

"What might be a nice sign of respect if you're a gentleman, you can do a slight nod...and some women, if they want to they can do a little bob.

Bottom line is that he shouldn't be bowing to any world leaders. He's not "regular people" he's the president for cryin' out loud. The Saudi King and Japanese Emperor are his peers, not his masters.

:lol: I wasn't even alive when Nixon was around sir! But bowing, which is an act of submission, to a Muslim king who is the head of horrible state nonetheless, that's a huge red flag.
I gave you facts and you let your bias towards Muslims drive your opinion on Protocol-

Benghazi cover-up, to cover up the unraveling of Hussain's Islamic favoring middle eastern policy because after Arab Spring - sounds like a deoderant sope but this brand stinks- we have found out that bowing and kissing the saudi king's ring, and an apology tour and an ass kissing speech was of course naive. Not only do the terrorists still want to kill us, they see us as week and are filling the vacuum as the US flees the middle east. Israel is surrounded and marked for death. Obonzo has no leg to stand on he knew within 24 hours, there were about 5 diplomatic cables dating from 25 June citing the increasingly dangerous situation and begging for more security. Amidst all of this security was cut back twice! 4 americans including our ambassador is dead. The diplomatic "compound" did not even meet standards and was granted a waiver. Rank incompetence that is why Obummer will have a very difficult time defending a policy leaving the middle east in flames, Al Kaida strengthening, and Iran close to having a nuclear missile - and Zero's only answer is to keep negotiating - geeze! If Bozo wins I believe the red states will seceed no joke!

Did you honestly think that those that hate the US in the ME would change. We do know about the statement he made - the outs that were in that statement- and the screw-ups involved.

Look at Christianity and the reformation to get an idea of the pain that was inflicted on many innocents.

Give us proof of that, I was too young to vote for Nixon, but had his button on my back pack. McGovern was another socialist just like our kenyan born "president." Before I retired I used to say I would jump out of the way to give any assasin a clear shot! My job was, still is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Too bad Nixon had to resign because of a botched operation to expose the socialists he was running against.

No but Obama sure did - he thought he would cause the sea level to drop in 2008! Of course I am in the 45% who always vote conservative no matter what.

I gave you facts and you let your bias towards Muslims drive your opinion on Protocol-

Islam is nothing more than a theocratic ideology they worship the moon god.

And you stand up to defend Islam as a peaceful "religion?"

If Nixon did this it was wrong - The american flag and our president dips/or bows to no one.
