Why is he bowing to a mayor?

No wonder the President's got to be an actor, he's got to look good on television!
 
Let me ask you though, you recognize that my avatar is in reference to Obama, don't you? If so, why did you not warn the poster earlier who tried to use it as a personal attack against me?

Questions of this nature really need to be addressed via PM. Or, at the time, you could have hit the notify moderator button (btw, if no action was taken, you would then still need to address it by PM).
 
I can't believe there are really people that get upset about this. Of all the things to get outraged over, this is it? Aren't there things worth worrying over? Iraq, Afghanistan, the economic crisis, the unjust global economy, people dying of easily treatable diseases by the thousands each day and this is what you choose to get enraged about?
Many US Presidents before Obama have bowed to other people, did they also miraculously harm the reputation of the USA by this?

These are the same people who got upset over a flag lapel pin.
 
Can't get the page either...

Whoever it is, I'm guessing he's bowing because bowing doesn't mean what you think it means.


ETA: Of course he's talking about Obama.

This means that, like Japan, he's showing his subjugation to the Mayor of Tampa. I await our Floridian overlords.

Fixed.

Now why don't you tell me what YOU think it means. I really am interested as to why he does this all the time. Is it because the Mayor appears to be Japanese?

It's a simple sign of fucking respect. So you can't pull this kind of shit in TNZ anymore so you're pulling it here?

Cripes.
 
If you disagree, please analyze why he has a need to bow to everyone.

Because the USA is a democracy, and its leader a representative of the people elected by the people from the people. Thus he is not your master, superior or king, he is one of you. First among equals, ideally. So he shows respect for his fellows, and his way of doing it seems to be bowing. Do you want a leader to act all superior and "better", and refuse to "lower" himself to the level of the people?
 
He's degrading the Office of the President of the United States. Seriously this guy has lost it. If you disagree, please analyze why he has a need to bow to everyone.
Bush did it. He also kissed and held hands with a muslin.

Do you remember when bush kissed a Saudi prince and then held hands with him like they're two star-crosssed teenage lovers after the Spring Formal?
 
"More Groveling By Obama." :rommie: This would be even funnier if there weren't people who take these desperate, hateful retards seriously.

But it's no surprise that political extremists have completely lost touch with the concept of respect.

This was the lead story on Fox Nation...further proving how they're fair and balanced.

How much have Glen Beck and Limbaugh flipped out over this?

It's the inverse function of how much they talked about their ACORN savior getting busted for messing with Senator Landrieu's phones.
 
Only if he wants the be subservient to the most powerful person in all of Hillsborough County.
