If pictures speak louder than words, then videos speak so loudly that they simply can't be ignored.
There is a video posted on YouTube that shows President Barack Obama bowing so low before Japan's Emperor, that it looks like he is servicing the foreign potentate.
The emperor doesn't reciprocate; traditionally he bows to no one.
Obama then turns to the Emperor's wife, and repeatedly bows before her, the president looks like a chicken picking up crumbs.
Obama is the Leader of the Free World, and he shouldn't be subservient to any foreign leader. The president has a very unflattering track record of humiliating himself before foreign rulers.
The President of the United States should stand tall when representing America overseas. I am outraged over Obama's penchant for bowing before kings and emperors. The president of our great country shouldn't give undue deference to corrupt dictators like Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, or figureheads like Japanese Emperor Akihito.
Watch the video and make up your own mind! Did Barack Obama embarrass himself, and the United States?
