Did the leader of China give a equal bow beforehand or after Obama's head bow? If not, you fail once again.Ferno wrote:If I was in the presence of someone of asian origin, I would too. since that's how you show respect to them.
learn their culture already so you don't end up looking stupid again.

you give respect first. If you get it back, great. if you don't and complain about it, you just end up looking like a tool.

Re:
It would seem to me as a matter of protocol that both leaders bow at the same time as a matter of equal respect. By Obama bowing first and Hu not returning the gesture speaks volumes don't you think?Ferno wrote:and this gives cause for people to whine?woodchip wrote:Did the leader of China give a equal bow beforehand or after Obama's head bow?

IMO. this thread is a Waste of Bandwith. Bowing as a form of respect. this is not my nuts are larger than yours. I have no problem with it. it's not like he prostrated himself

I take issue with it whether it could be said to be proper or not, because I'm pretty sure that Obama isn't on solid ground in his thinking there. Currying favor with foreign leaders through over-the-top displays of respect as a way to influence them toward cooperation with his idea of what America should be in the world is not strong foreign policy. If he returned a bow I could respect that. The problem I have is that Obama is a liar. I can't say whether I've ever heard him say anything straight-forward (Kennedy-esq my ass, and comparing him to Lincoln is a farce). So when he does something, I would be naive to believe that he does it sincerely, because it would be against what is so obviously his nature.

it's a picture. and maybe it's only one half the picture. we do not know if the Bow was reciprocated or not. now if it was a Video then there would be more to discuss

Obama could be looking at the won-ton soup he spilled on his shoes

I deleted the double-negative this time. ^_~
And lets don't forget Obama ran on the premise that he was different and better and not-Bush and he was going to be the "post partisan President" etc, puke, etc.
Besides I think Bush did show sincere humility at times. He still screwed ★■◆● up but my comment wasn't about policy it was about ego and I think Obama has Bush out gunned in that department by a very large margin.

Forget what I said earlier. You're beyond help.
(And my God, the comments on that editorial. It's so nice to know that our public education system has utterly failed us.)
