What is wrong with Obama? Why does he keep doing this?
No American President should EVER bow to a foreign leader.
What an ASS!
@Mike’s America: You’ve got me Mike. It’s a mystery as to why he’d like his approval to go down even lower than it is now. Maybe he’s bored/tired of being POTUS.
I wish I could express how these pictures of his bowing to despots make me feel. My heart just sinks for our country and I can’t wait for him to be contained by the 2010 elections. We must take majorities in congress and marginalize him. The horrible thing is I don’t want all three branches of government in the same hands but with this as our option, it may be the only solution for the time being. Whoever is in charge next round could we dump the arrogance?
He gives a F/U to the country every time he does this.
Cause the man doesn’t thing like an American. He thinks the way our major competitors do, and for us that’s scary. We must’a been doing something right all these years to be top of the food chain. But alas, the man wants the great evening out. American spirit is to excel. His form of thinking is to conform and settle into mediocrity.
Agreed, but it’s been “schooled” into him. He doesn’t know any better as that is what he has been taught from early childhood. I bet it is even second nature, he is so accustomed to bowing he doesn’t think twice and couldn’t stop it if he did.
My heart sinks at the daily destruction he inflicts on our great country in so many different ways. But the independant creative spirit within me will not be quenched. I will find a way to create, to prosper, to succeed… and when this man, this treasonous imposter who bows to every leader but the One True Leader he should bow to, is voted out and America starts down the road of recovery and rebuilding, reinventing and constitutional renewal, rewarding those who work and strive to achieve and encouraging those who don’t know how because of their reliance on the nanny state we have become, then the greatness of our founders’ vision, the exceptionalism of Americans will return and we will once again be the envy of the world and the delight of our God’s creation. And then my heart will rejoyce again.
Don’t ya think it is time to quit posting this stuff? The guy’s a freak. We know it. It doesn’t even surprise me anymore.
Given the fine kettle of fish we’ve gotten ourselves into, why not bow? I mean they own us, we’re essentially their prison b**** in every sense of the word.
Free trade got us into this mess. Place the blame where it belongs.
@mtnsplendor: You have to look at who he bows to and who he doesn’t.
He bowed to the Saudi King while at Buckingham Palace but barely gave Queen Elizabeth, his hostess, a nod.
He bowed to the Japanese Emperor and to the Chinese leader previously.
He’s never bowed to any Western leader.
What does that say about him?
NEW!!! FROM RAPHCO!!! HOURS OF ENJOYMENT!!!
Thank’s “Rides A Wild Hose.” The could sell a lot of those. I’d buy one.
Hey the dipping bird — needs to dip into water — in this case get a water bowl shaped _? like an open wallet — with a label — YOUR WALLET
It never ends with this moron. It will only end when we remove him from power.
Pale Horse, I appreciate the humor; however, portraying the president of being capable of understanding and utilizing simple principles of physics is a gross overestimation of his intellectual abilities. Unfortunately, the average Obama Lemming or Progressive Socialist will see the bowing Obama as cute or ‘really cool’ and as an indisputable proof of his suitability to be president. After all, it is more logical than most of his other qualifications.
We must be careful to never overestimate the intelligence of the average Obama supporter.
With love and respect for my country I always try to fly my American Flag on National holidays and other days of rememberance. There are usually a few more up and down the block. Is it just my area, (I do live in a racially mixed area of Cooper City, Florida) or has anyone else noticed that on MLK day and Presedents’ Day there were almost no other American Flags flown.
See you at the Davie, Fl Memorial Day Parade!
I think we are being too hard on Obama.
Perhaps he thought he was bowing to the Emperor of China.

Hey, you said it was an Open Thread.
@Mike’s America:
“He’s never bowed to any Western leader.”
He bowed to Pam Iorio, mayor of Tampa.
OK, she’s not a “Western Leader” so technically you’re correct. But at least she isn’t a far Left loon, or third world dictator.
Still, yes, he is an ass.

Agreed! That is what I mean (just didn’t clearly communicate)- he is showing who he respects – he has no use for Western leaders or our allies, yet he bows to, or hugs, or smiles and shakes hands with the most offensive and dangerous of world leaders. It is his upbringing – the way he has been taught. He clearly has shown that he has no use for America as she is intended to be – it is sickening.
I propose a new qualification for president: Must have a spine. His seems to be missing or extremely flaccid.
He does whatever makes 67 million morons that voted for him happy; and by exclusion, it makes the rest of us (the conservatives) unhappy. His handlers know that, he knows that and we know that. In this particular instance, by bowing to these individuals he says to those here who didn’t vote for him: F%$# YOU, and f&%$ YOUR America. It also says to those he bows to: “my america is at your service, what would you like?”

@Mike’s America: You show respect to those who you want to be like. Obama wants to be a dictator, so he respects the position he wants to hold. If he gets his crown, he will expect people to bow to him.
Have you noticed how he ALWAYS holds his head way up high?
@Rides A Pale Horse: One thing I can say about conservatives: We have creative minds. If someone made this thing I bet they would sell a lot of them. I would get one if it isn’t too high priced or made in China. I love it. Keep up the creativity!
Can I send the image to others?
@Budvarakbar: I like that idea. Why not make a video of it picking money out of your wallet?
Michael Goodwin from the New York Post finds something familiar with the logo being used at the summit, pictured above in Mikes’s photo of the all too familiar Obama bow.

What in the world is Dana Milbank hinting at? He’s starting to sound like what he accuses the Tea Partiers of:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/13/AR2010041303067_pf.html
Sarkozy thinks Obama is going off his rocker, wonder with these to WaPo articles, what he thinks of the Washington Post. Milbanks is whining about access and Jason Horowitz writes of a future promotion of the idiot press secretary, Robert Gibbs
He tells us he spends half his time strategizing for Obama, perhaps he and Milbanks should do lunch:

@Smorgasbord:
Sure. Feel free to send to whomever you think would enjoy it. I have no problem with my stuff being used as long as I at least get credit for it. That’s the reason I create it. The people over at I Own The World.com (and others I’m sure) have been fighting this trend of creative theft and I fully support their efforts. I’ve had several images and videos pirated and posted without any credit or credited to the thieves themselves but for legitimate, credited use………go for it!!

Like you, I’d feel more comfortable when he cuts back on the bowing, but, you are all overreacting.
rockybutte, I will feel absolutely jubilant after his successor is elected and sworn in.
This Presidency is an insult to the nation and nothing short of a train wreck. He has no concept of Domestic or Foreign Policy, he is economically illiterate and totally lacking in even the most rudimentary notions of protocol, the Constitutional limits on Executive Power or sense of his Duties or Oath of Office.
Try to name just one task that he has taken on so far that he hasn’t botched, bungled or made worse.
Allen West speaks about Islam. Great speach, a focus on what our country is facing; also, a great speaker. Frightening.

Old Trooper:
By golly, you are a hard dude to please. If Bush had escalated the war in Afghanistan as Obama has, you’d be wetting yourself singing the praises of democracy’s champion in his “war against terrah”. But, because it is Obama who is the Commander in Chief, you ignore his bold actions. In fact, you, and most imposters on this wretched site, ignore our gallant soldiers as they seek to vanquish the Taliban, who could have been destroyed by Bush long ago if he hadn’t been distracted by Iraq’s oil fields. Your kudos instead go to tea party morons. All you’re doing is supporting forces that oppose Obama. Now it’s tea partyers you support; before it was our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. In what direction are you losers heading?
“Osama, you can run but you can’t hide….hee, hee”! “…. you won’t get fooled again”.
@rock butthead: I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life.
To suggest that we don’t support the troops in Afghanistan is a vicious calumny. Are you even aware that one of our contributors died after service in Afghanistan?
And if you think this site is so “wretched” then why do you comment here?
Obama’s “bold actions?” Give me a break! It took the ASS in Chief months to make a decision to support his own strategy.
Grow up.
Mike’s America:
I was saddened by Chris’s death. But you’re alive, and you haven’t demonstrated support for the troops since January 20th, 2009. Let’s face it, buddy, you’d rather Obama fail than our troops succeed. And, deep inside, if you’re honest with yourself, you know that’s the truth.
@rockybutte: That’s an absurd remark and it marks you as one not worth mature consideration.
In short, you’re a fool and you don’t deserve the time of day.
Mike,
More than anything else you want Obama to fail. You want his surge in Aghanistan to fail. You want the economy to go further into the toilet. You want Americans to suffer from the new Health Care Law. You want terrorists to hijack planes and fly them into buildings or blow them up in the air.
You want to be proven right.
You’re not a patriot.
You’re a narcissist.
@rockybutte: You’re an idiot and a fool.
I’m not going to waste my time with a clown like you.
@rockybutte…Obama will fail on his own without any help from anyone else.
What you know about Afghanistan, COIN, the current Operations there or the duties of the CiC rivals that of Obama, zip, zero, zilch.
I am on my third deployment in the Stans right now. Save your insults for someone else.
OK, Punk? You turned the discussion personal so you got my assessment.
Rockybutte, what you have said proves you are a major, major, hypocrite.
That was what YOU wanted to see happen when Bush was in charge. The fact we accurately pointed that out about you lefties stung deeply. After all, your kind think you are superior beings and having such feelings are unacceptable to you since it makes you question said superiority.
Now that your fellow lefties are in charge, you lie to yourself and make yourself believe that you NEVER thought such things, but believe that WE are the ones who want such things. It’s how you maintain your elitest, denial laden narcissism. The technical term is projection. You accuse us of thinking what you did since you can’t face your narcissism inspired hatred of anyone who dares to disagree with you.
Bees: Congratulations on breaking out of the simple sentence syndrome; however, we must be sure to keep a sentence on each side of the colon and semicolon; otherwise, we merely have a clause and that is acceptable in special circumstances. You will not follow a semicolon with a comma; but you can follow a question mark in the middle of a sentence with a dash- ( An archaic form of punctuation that my computer doesn’t recognize, but I put my faith in the early masters and wordsmiths, not my computer’s punctuation skills.); the dash can be used for a semicolon to add informality and break up punctuation style.
Consider these famous biblical lines with different punctuation: (The colon is also used to say there is more to come)
“Verily, I say unto thee, this day thou shalt be with me in Paradise.”
and:
“Verily I say unto thee this day, thou shalt be with me in Paradise.”
The first version is the Protestant version and lightly skips over the Perdition issue and whisks the crucified thief to Heaven with our Lord. Men have killed over punctuation; therefore; we must strive for accuracy with our little marks.
From Isiah:
“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”
or:
“The voice of him that crieth: In the wilderness prepare ye the way of the Lord.”
“Comfort ye my people” (Go out and comfort my people)
or:
“Comfort ye, my people” (Take comfort my people, things will probably get better)
Of course the ancient Hebrew had no punctuation; therefore, it was easy for devious people to write ideologies into the bible through the manipulation of punctuation; In this day and age, the Progressives are seeing Socialism within the Constitution and have come to the realization that the United States was meant to function as a National Socialist State.
Unscrupulous people can manipulate punctuation and turn the meaning of a paragraph upside down. It is important to have a grip on the importance of punctuation; unfortunately, many people have advanced degrees and yet when it comes to punctuation, the are like a babe in the forest.
Remember the comma, semicolon, and colon can keep a sentence light and floating for as long as you want to keep it going. Good Luck, Bees.
Snookum, these people are delusional, ignorant (or else disingenuous,) and obviously have never read any of the Federalist Papers, Anti-Federalist Papers nor even the multitude of papers written by the Founding Fathers about the Constitution. The founders were expressly against the dangers to liberty posed by a pure democracy (which of course includes all socialist forms of government).
Yes Ditto, I was being outrageously sarcastic; although, they seem to justify their ‘Progressive’ agenda on their “own” presumed thoughts and intentions of the Founders rather than the actual written words. In reality, I think they find the Constitution and the Founders to be obstacles that inhibit the formation of a Socialist State: according to Obama, we should just sit back and let him alter the country according the visions of his radical mentors and family, for our own “Good” by the way.
They seem more interested in dismantling the very foundation that has made the United States the greatest nation in history: to reduce and castrate the country seems to be the goal of International Socialism and our Progressive Socialists, they will use the method of National Socialism to achieve their goals with dubious and corrupt means to that are justified by the goals that they have planned for us in the near future. Unless we stop this steady and continuous pull toward the abyss of Socialism, we have had the biscuit.
