Outrage Over Obama’s Un-American Bowing In Japan
Controversy has erupted from right wing lunatics and those who plain hate everything Obama does over his bow to Japan’s Emperor Akihito during his week-long tour of Asia.
Those outraged criticized that a president should stand tall when representing America. The best was on CNN when Obama’s bow was compared to Dick Cheney’s manly we-don’t-take-shit-from-foreigners firm American greeting:
According to the panel we should abide to xenophobia and not attest to other culture’s traditions when greeting them. The way the nit-picky right wing media scrutinizes this incident one would think Obama shat himself while greeting the emperor. Maybe next time he should greet Akihito with a high-five and a copy of Girls Gone Wild?
Obama should’ve followed the lead of George Bush Sr. when he greeted Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi by vomiting all over him like any good American would do!
How do you think Obama should have greeted Emperor Akihito? True/Slant wants to know!

It is no doubt good advice not to repeat anything that Dick Chaney has done overseas.
Or George Bush Sr. who vomited on Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi:

In response to another comment. See in context »When your dealing with people convinced that what the President did is “against our Constitution!”, there’s really no point in arguing. People will though, which is why it makes it into the news cycle. Know what the best part is? These people breed. They breed god-lovin’ ‘mericans, who stand up tall, shake hands, and declare anything foreign unmanly. Or of the devil. Oftentimes both. Gotta love em huh?
I think it’s more of the xenophobic ignorance of the Bush administration spilling over– feeling like we don’t have to know about other people’s cultures.
