Expert on Japan: Obama’s bow was embarrassingly inappropriate and conveyed weakness

Not content to show our enemies how weak America is under his leadership, B.O. is now displaying the same thing for our allies.

The White House spin:

A senior administration official said President Barack Obama was simply observing protocol when he bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko upon arriving at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Saturday.

“I think that those who try to politicize those things are just way, way, way off base,” the official said. “He observes protocol. But I don’t think anybody who was in Japan – who saw his speech and the reaction to it, certainly those who witnesses his bilateral meetings there – would say anything other than that he enhanced both the position and the status of the U.S., relative to Japan. It was a good, positive visit at an important time, because there’s a lot going on in Japan.”

As with nearly everything else that comes from the White House, that too was a steaming pile of bovine feces.  If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear this guy was a suck-up lightweight who doesn’t know what the Sam Hill he’s doing!
