This is not about redneck bravado.

I didn't hear this nonsense when the shrub kissed and held hands with the head of the family of the master mind of 9/11. All planes were grounded and no one could fly in the US but the family of the master mind of 9/11.

I don't believe it's overreaction - - facts are facts.

This is not about redneck bravado.

I did, and my answer would be, "Yes, absolutely."

I totally agree with Jeffrey......Mega-overreaction.

I read Post #39 and to me, it's just more nit-picking at the president. There are millions of them.

Did he bow exactly as he should have? Maybe not. But he tried and personally, I like that.

I'm more concerned about what message it sent China and other nations than I am about people's opinons here.

I don't know if you are trying to be disingenuous or you just don't know.
Most people don't check to see who or what a person is and for some here that believe every e-mail they receive, your post #39 claim ABC believes what this guy is saying .

You proudly say look, even ABC says Obama is wrong. The man Jake Tapper who made the statement is a right wing wacko who ABC allowed to appear on their program. It is not always fact when it comes from a left wing wacko or a right wing wacko. Read the mans blog.
Facts matter!!!!!

Re: Obama Bows to Japanese Emperor

Japanese Say Obama Bow "Appropriate" Show of Respect

""When visiting a foreign country, it is an admirable international manner to follow the country's own protocol," he said.

"It should be praised and never deserve criticism. In Japan, bowing never means the person underestimates himself.""

I think even the most anti-Obama person would be able to acknowledge that President Obama has drastically improved America's standing around the globe.
