Below The Beltway —
Authority: 691
Via Hot Air, comes this interesting story from 1994: It wasn’t a bow, exactly. But Mr. Clinton came close. He inclined his head and shoulders forward, he pressed his hands together. It lasted no longer than a snapshot, but the image on the South Lawn was indelible: an obsequent President, and the Emperor of ...14 hours ago -

I recognize that the Sino-American relationship is affected by a whole host of complicating factors.

Really, this is ridiculous. We fought a war over the general principle that kings and emperors shall not have any kind of sway over American citizens. Having the President of the United States bow before them makes a mockery of that principle.14 hours ago -

On his trip to Japan, President Obama has thrown protocol out the window once again as he bowed to Japans Emperor Akihito. The American President has a tendency of bowing when he isn’t supposed to.

Obama Demeans America By Bowing To An Emperor
Below The Beltway —
Authority: 691
Unlike conservatives, I was willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt when he appeared to give a deferential bow to the King of Saudi Arabia. Perhaps it was just a rookie mistake, or the result of some bad advice from the protocol office. But, this is starting to become a disturbing pattern: How low ...15 hours ago -
