Obama and Hu Jintao: The Bow

Oh, no. Not again.

Obama has a problem.

Hu? Obama.

He bows inappropriately. He acts subservient, like the hired help. He needs to behave like the president when interacting with world leaders, not like a houseboy.

Americans don't bow when we greet someone. We look at the person, make eye contact, smile; but we do not bow.



Here's the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES bowing to Chinese President Hu Jintao. Not cool, Obama. Not cool.


Here's Obama bowing to Emperor Akihito of Japan.


Here he is saying hello to the Mayor of Tampa, Pam Iorio.


And here's Obama bending way over for Saudi Arabian King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz.


My personal favorite: Obama bows to Burger King.

Not to be a stickler, but you're forgetting one.

His bow to the honorable Mayor of Tampa.

The first three pictures, of course, are sad and pathetic...the last one is just plain funny :)

Thanks for the contribution, Dave. That's quite a bow to the mayor. I'll add it to the post.

What is wrong with Obama? Where did he learn to do that?

I agree, Jill. That pic of Obama and Burger King makes me laugh.
