How low will he go? Obama gives Japan's Emperor Akihito a wow bow | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washing...
It's called respect. Besides, it's a lot better than throwing up over the emperor ... - Rene Wirtz
The question should be: How did Obama Bow resonate with those Japanses people who want our military bases in Japan closed. A nice respectful bow goes a long way to placating them. And maybe gets some cash and bodies for ASTAN Lot more in play here than most rightists willing to see but then they have a relatively black and white unthinking worldview... Simple really that might explain the morass left for the adults to clean up - WarLord
*raised eyebrows* really chris? it's a bad thing for a guest in a foreign country to respectfully observe the local customs? hmmmm, maybe it's the lack of that behavior that has helped gain american tourists their horrific international reputation. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)
LOL @ equating liberalism and a "broader view" of the world. - Spencer
From your narrow perspective, I suppose this would be amusing. After all, it's kinda tough to get a broader view of the world from beneath a rock. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)
