The folks at yahoo have captured what appears to be yet another bow by the President of the United States to a foreign President. This time it appears to be the Premier of the Communist Leader of China, Hu Jintao. The summit for Nuclear Security began with the leaders meeting, shaking hands, and apparently a bow from Barack Obama. This Nuclear Summit was called by President Barack Obama for forty seven countries. Turkey and Egypt have put forth the issue of the assumed nuclear power of Israel amongst them. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has elected not to attend the Nuclear Summit.
This event comes on the news of the popularity of the American President slipping a few notches. Former bows by the American President were to the Saudi King Abdullah and to the Japanese Emperor Akihito. The bow to the Saudi King last year ( 2009 ) was one that doubled the United States leader to a nearly ninety degree angle. The bow to the Japanese leader was in the same style.
These bows are a departure from two centuries of protocol for Presidents from the United States in which no President has bowed to royalty of other nations.

I really see no problem with this. It's a mark of respect, it's helped get China in support of sanctions against Iran, and it makes Obama look culturally sensitive.
I guess some idiots believe the president is showing signs of weakness.
He did this with the Japanese guy too.
Guy TILTED OH MY FUCKING GOD CALL THE GODDAMN PRESSES.
I forget if it was the emperor or prime minister.
Well it's more offensive because that's a [B]Japanese [/B]tradition. But none of those fox news assholes is culturally educated enough to know that so I think he's in the clear on that front.
fucking automerge
It also occurs to me that he's just really short...
WAY TO FUCK UP MY AUTOMERGE BY COMPLAINING ABOUT MY FUCKING UP OF YOUR AUTOMERGE!!!
I don't think this is a problem. Fucking morons getting worked over for nothing.
There's no fucking issue, who really gets sand in their vagina about something like this? He's bowing to him, not sucking the country's (tiny) dick.
Good on him.
I don't particularly care for Obama, but sheesh. These tea partiers are giving me a bad name. Is he supposed to just show up in China and disrespect their leader when he's surrounded by the entire Chinese Army?
der obama is clearly a weaboo appealing to asian countries :downs:
guys he's bowing down to his communist overlord AMERICA IS DOOMED
Let's flame the President for respecting another country's customs. :downs:

Ding. Shaking hands suffice. Regardless, this is just another case of "omg president is being culturally sensitive" and shit. That or because "omg communist".
God the people/the media get worked up over easy shit. :geno:
I completely agree with Fox News, he should have totally spit on their customs and culture because America is better than China. :downs:
I like the pictures where he's squinting with the rest of the Chinese people.
When in China, do as the Chinese do.

Can't tell Chinese people apart.
That must've been one hell of an awkward photoshoot, what with the PRC flag and US flag in the same room. :v:
That barely even counts as a bow.
not really

Unless you are still living under the tent of retardation known as the Red Scare, not really. We are economically interdependent at this point.
@Vaught
No surprise, Obama also attends a yearly NWO convention in California and worships an owl shrine.
