What should we make of this? Is it trivial to worry about what on its face could easily be interpreted as nothing more than a polite gesture by our president to respect the culture of a country?
We've been seen as the bullies of the world for at least the last eight years. We need alliances folks, wake up! If you find this bit of respect embarrassing, I can't imagine where you were living during the last administration!
ahhh.... The meek shall inherit the earth. I believe it! I absolutely believe in respecting other countries and other cultures.  |
1. If the person who you believe is bullying you bows to you, you just know it is an insult.
2. In the Japanese culture, a bow to the depth of Obamas indicates respect to the point of subservience. No other leader would prostrate himself this way.
3. I see you're back to blaming Bush again.
4. You are not meek enough.
Must you kiss HIS ass at every turn?
