It’s the visual illusion, Since Obama is so much taller than that Japanese Emperor, with tricky camera angle, it looks like Obama was bowing to that Emperor. In reality, he was actually on the ground kneeing down in front that Jap.
You ignorant douche; it’s standard etiquette in Japan to offer the hand to shake at the same time as bowing, especially when the greeting is cross-cultural.
Your right, absolutely no president has ever observe other culture’s customs and signs of respect (get the fuck out of here, dumbass).
Also, since I lived in Japan for 7 fucking years, I know this bow is bullshit and not just for shaking hands (which is not totally correct, but is still acceptable). This deep of a bow is when is used to address a superior. What Obama is doing is acknowledging that he is personally inferior is this person (so, much for equality I guess).
So, Hirohito is a war criminal now?
Yes yes I know, history is written by the winner and they always made the looser sound like bad guys.
But still, remind me which country nuked the other, killing 200.000 civilians in the process?
Even the Japanese acknowledge that an estimated 1 to 2 million Japanese would have died had the Allies invaded. My wife’s aunt, who was 14 at the time, was trained to attack Allied soldiers with a naginata and she told me she would have been extremely lucky to kill one person before she to was killed.
And yes, the Japanese were bad guys in the classical sense, they even admit to it, because it was official policy the way they treated anyone who wasn’t Japanese (especially Koreans, Chinese and Allied POWs).
But if you want to blame the Democrats for war crimes (since FDR & Truman were Democrats), go right ahead.
lol, he’s still taller than that jap bastaad

It’s nice to have a President that observes other culture’s customs and signs of respect.
Except he’s shaking his hand at the same time which is wrong.
Oops the messiah fucked it.

It is NOT standard etiquette at all. Its actually the exact opposite but concessions are made when somebody doesn’t know any better.
That fucking overblown shithead should know better.
So two different answers from the internet from two people who both claim to know. I guess I’ll just have to continue to not care.
That’s about the usual stupid ass response we can all expect from you every time huh?

Wow great response again you fucking retard.

Actually, at the beginning of the year Japan was the third largest holder of US debt and China moved to the fourth.
