Yep, Obama bows again....to Indian paliament....

[YosemiteGram]

This clown, joke, useless piece of...well...you get the idea has bowed yet again...What do you think of this?

 

[Mike S]

SNAFU with BHO

 

[RKG]

He's practicing for his first meeting with Speaker Boehner?

 

[blindfire]

Jesus H Christ...its called being polite.

When you greet an Indian, you typically say "Nah-mah-stay", fold your hands and bow slightly.

 

[CubJ3]

I think, no matter your opinion of Obama, that India, historically a fierce rival of Pakistan is both a potential economic boon for the U.S. and an essential strategic ally of the U.S. I would hope any U.S. president (conservative, liberal, or other) would go to India to explore any and all potential of the (soon to be) most populated country in the world.

You're the leader of the free world,if you bow to anyone but God himself,you are a pussy.

 

[Sleepytime]

The leader of the free world should NOT be bowing to anyone. He's not showing respect, he's showing his submissiveness. Remember, this is the same guy who went on the Presidential Apology Tour and willingly fingered the United States of America as the culprit in all the worlds problems.

Status Quo for this administration.

I might buy that if he hadn't made a habit out of bowing and scraping.

Is that what you and I would typically do, or what the POTUS is expected to typically do?

And the same butthole that refused to place his hand on his heart for the Pledge of Allegiance during his campaign! F him and all of his arrogant cronies!

That was generally the thinking to bowing of the flag.

+1

Except he should bow lower and open wide.

Republicans only do that in bathrooms...

 

[ecnal]

OH MY GOD OBAMA HAS EARS! HOLY SHIT, DUDE, WOAH MAN! WOAH!

Members of Al Qaeda have ears! HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THIS?!


He was being polite. Jeeze.

Havent you ever seen Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom???? Even Indiana bowed.

We, and especially those who represent our country, do not subjugate themselves to other countries and cultures by "assimilating" their cultural forms. We have our own, and ours are at least as good, even better. How else did America become the place where everyone wants to come?

 

[MACGYVR]

All you ever wanted to know about this bow:
http://hinduism.about.com/od/artculture/p/namaste.htm

Its not a bow in the Japanese sense or royal meaning of showing respect to power.
It is more a spiritual meeting of the minds as one.

 

[gene]

Obama's knees are dirty!

 

[Shark_Cage]

Did he apologize?

I don't do that when I greet an Indian, I shake their hand and ask them when my hard drive is going to arrive.

Damn. That was funny!

Yeeeeeaaaaah...and that is why you'll never serve as an ambassador to a foreign country.

Nice Derek.

Mobama could pleasure himself infront of the whole world and I still wouldn't care!

I'd rather do business with India than China.

 

[Zappa]

There's a fine line between bowing down and bending over.

 

[YosemiteGram]

Zappa...barack seems to keep saying "spread yo' cheeks"....

 

[bubajoe]

His trip also coincidently coincided with some Muslim holiday (Eid al-Adha?) which I think started today... 200 million a day for him to fly to the other side of the world, attend church, see a museum, bow before another world leader, and dance some Indian dance.

 

[bergeror]

It's great to see that he's aware of what is considered polite manners in another country. You can't be a diplomat if you're accidentally (or purposefully) insulting other countries by being unaware of or choosing to ignore their customs. It's no different than Geroge W. holding hands with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.
