This is in todays news.

If Obama could quit bowing down to them (and notice they don't bow back) then I wouldn't have the photographs to talk about.



How do you know he didn't bow back?

You have one photo.

If they bowed at the same time don't you think they would hit their heads?

Alas it truly is a shame Obama doesn't act presidential, must be all that bowing Michelle's mother makes him do.

I know you supporters get all squee whenever we make fun of Obama, but really, all that bowing makes him look weak and subservient.



Can't help but think what horrible atrocities someone's mother must have done to you? To make you so weak and subservient.

It's a shame you cannot act more Presidential.

In deference to DG's expertise, Obama could start shitting gold ingots to pay off the deficit and still face criticism if some of them need to have corn kernels picked out of them.

The man is a product of his handlers.

With every post you continue to show the world that you are nothing more than a product of yours.


Appreciate your attempt to reinvent yourself DG. However, you should consider that although they were contemporaries, Moe Howard was never getting Clark Gable's role of 'Rhett Butler' in 'Gone With the Wind'. He, like you, was, and will always be - a 'stooge'.

I'm not a big fan of Obama's bowing-thing, to my American eyes it makes him look weak. There are, however, much more pressing (and interesting) topics to debate.


I don't think there is anything weak about showing another person respect.

I dont see how Tianamen square enters into this. Aint that an old man Bush problem? Furthermore, Tank there didnt ascend to power until 2002, and Deng wasnt the type to let others have any of his authorities, and TSQUARE was a 1989 thing.

So, we have a joe the plumber (everything based on incorrect information, but supposedly pertinent in the phantasmagoria that inculcate the rabid rank and file) situation again.

Isn't shitting regularly far more important?

The same observance of protocol every President has done, so this nonsense is really getting tiresome.

The man is a product of his handlers. Even in the most neutral situations, outside their guiding influence and TelePrompTer delivered lines, the man has problems acting or talking without a script. Opening day of baseball - the most neutral of situations; made it through the scrutiny of the first pitch, up in the announces box, he discloses his lifelong association with the 'South Side' White Sox. "Great Mr. President, and who is your favorite White Sox?" The question stumps him! Hell - go with Steve Kemp, go with a traded guy - Tom Seaver, or the farm hand who got away - Sammy Sosa; instead another long winded answer referencing his Hawaiian roots!?

Hilliary Clinton proclaimed herself a 'Yankee Fan' during the NY Senate primaries and it almost cost her the election. Obama never got the 'tough'; "who's your favorite player" questions during the campaign and now - with each one asked - it discloses him to be a placard image without substance. Same as Hilliary - same source of cause/effect - the handlers; but only distinct from the 'Red' linen by visibility and coverage for the time being. Regan may not have known as much or been half as intelligent as either, but he would have been able to chat and talk with the baseball announcers through a hour long rain delay and not made such poor representation of himself as Obama did in one question.

This is what we have - this is what we deserve. Obama, like Carter before him, is an intelligent man totally miscast, over his head, and lost in the position he finds himself. Bowing, hand shaking, hugging, kissing, or misrepresenting the pragmatic immediate impact of the health care bill he just signed; the man can't do a damn thing right. I'm sure he's smarter than this - but we'll never see it or have the opportunity to benefit from it. Not now - when even his unquestioning apologists, watch, listen and shake their heads as the try to rationalize what happened to 'CHANGE!'.


I'm sorry, could you repeat that part about Obama being long-winded?

Well the fucking question, 'Who is your favorite White Sox'? would surely stump me too.

Now, the very important addenendum of the word player (as a peroration, let us say) would cleanse anyone of the gritty difficulty. You see, otherwise we are completely backed in the corner via a how often do you beat your wife question, in that there is ONLY ONE White Sox franchise, none in Football or LaCrosse or Rugby or even Curling......so there isn't the condition of a choice, no open ended question exists.

I note rml, that is your one trick pony response to more and more posts lately. Not that you often added anything valuable to the discussion but are you really so resigned and defenseless regarding your positions?

Interjected such astute observations such as this only points to your poor attention span, which doesn't represent the majority. Nor will putting your fingers in your ears change the results.

Hey - given your choices of name calling, attempted personal insults, or this new 'long winded' reference to any post you find yourself in disagreement - this is much preferred. Considering the source - I think this "long winded" approach represents your best and is the best tactic for you in lieu of anything else you usually post.

Or, if you have trouble focusing and concentrating, in 2014 (since this is obviously a pre-existing condition) you'll be able to wait in line and try to get some counseling and medication for condition under the great, comprehensive, inclusive, panacea, paid for, universal health Law.

Beside the fact that Hu didn't bow back? Here's a good article from the Cypress Times that points out a few of the more severe problems with it:


quote:



OBAMA BOWS TO PRESIDENT OF COMMUNIST CHINA


Obama genuflecting on cue for China’s president


Barack Obama bowed when shaking hands with Hu Jintao, the president of communist China yesterday at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington D.C.   To bow before someone is to give that person honor.  It is an act of reverence, an act of submission.


Can you get a complete picture of this?  The President of the United States of America, a nation whose name was once synonymous with “Freedom” and the defense of “Human Rights” bows, while standing in his own capitol city, before the leader of the largest communist nation on the planet, a country that is constantly guilty of atrocities against its own people, and the oppression of religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the list goes on and on to include some of the worst racial discrimination in history in Tibet.


Our president seems to have decided to abandon everything that this nation once stood for that was considered by the people of our country to be good or decent.  Mr. Obama has apologized for this country ad nauseum since becoming our fearless leader.  Mr. Obama must have a special chiropractor on hand to make sure his spine is plenty flexible when about to meet with a dictator, or head of a communist regime.   Got to make those bows really count.


Yet, Mr. Obama refused to even have his photograph taken with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu recently in Washing ton D.C..  But why be nice to Israel, they’re only our ally?  Let’s poke them in the eye the way we now do with our longest standing ally, Great Britain.

Sorry - where were my positions challenged?

It must be your inability to distinguish attempted insult from response that confuses you? I assumed your response; "With every post you continue to show the world that you are nothing more than a product of yours." was the best you could do. Irrelevant to anything posted and surely not a challenge to any of the information, but from you-just about the best possible and intelligent response to expect outside of when the topic of shit is up for debate.

Doing so poorly against a source you call an "uneducated wind bag" is pretty sad, albeit VERY amusing for me - do continue...

You know, you are right...there certainly are more important things the country should be outraged about, and yet so many have chosen this. It speaks volumes about the people and what really ails them. So let's put it in perspective for them:

You are the leader of a great island nation somewhere on this planet - resource rich out the wazoo but needing trading partners and capital investment to ensure the long-term economic viability of your nation. The natives, in accordance with their ancient religious practices and superstitions, believe that touching or viewing the open palm of another's hand is icky and stupid.

You are invited to a summit attended by all the other island nation leaders where some of them routinely extend their open hand to others in a gesture of greeting and good will. Do you accept it and reciprocate in order to foster the relations needed to secure the economic future for your people, or do you decline because you fear the folks back home might disapprove?
