Right, a conspiracy Mr. Casper.
Actually the 9/11 attacks were engineered by the illuminati/Masons/Rothchilds who are, as we all know, puppets of the Reptilian Humanoids who have been controlling the earth and who intend to turn us all into slaves by injecting mind control/micro chips into our bodies via the H1N1 vaccines. |

An administration insider's response
| Quote: |
| "Obama's attitude was, this is an elderly gentleman in a country where this kind of greeting is customary. It does not seem extraordinary to show this kind of gesture to him. The Fox news poll said that 67% of Americans thought it was a good thing for him to have done. When the president heard that some people had complained, I'd characterize his reaction as: The notion that the United States is somehow humbling or humiliating itself by showing respect for a local custom, when it is transparently the most powerful country in the world, leaves me speechless." |

| I agree with that quote 100%, but it's still not clear why he bowed when other country's leaders typically don't, nor why he didn't consult someone knowledgeable who could have taught him the proper way to bow. |

Well, he didn't give an equal greeting to the elderly lady beside him, and sexism is not an American value I imagine President Obama supports, so I find this explanation suspicious. |

This is a matter of state, however, between two heads of state.
Did the Japanese monarch return the bow/courtesy/expression of respect? |
Probably not. So what? Does bowing or not bowing change a single aspect of the current geopolitical/military relationship between the US and Japan. If Obama starts bowing are the Japanese all of the sudden not going to be scared crapless about a militarily advanced China? Japan will continue to rely on the US for defense and everybody in that room knows it. How does a cultural formality warrant such silly scrutiny? |
Thank you. |
