Hu Too?… Obama Bows to Chinese Leader Hu Jintao… Again (Updated with Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, April 12, 2010, 6:37 PM
Back in November Barack Obama bowed to President Hu Jintao in China.
Watch around the 1:00 minute mark as he makes several small bows, and one deep one:
Via Nice Deb
Today, Obama bowed again.

He just can’t help himself.
What a disgrace.

He doesn’t make eye contact… not very confident or assertive… quite submissive and subservient.
The next president will have a lot of things to fix.
OCBill commented:
Per the photo on Drudge, Obama also bear-hugged that Lula guy from Brazil. If Stalin were alive, Obama would probably give him the full Lewinsky.

That’s horribly wrong, OCBill.
It’s also my biggest laugh of the day. Kudos.

In my mind, nothing beats the day he bowed to the Mayor of Tampa.
Coming next: Obama bows to random somewhat foreign looking school child on a tour of the White House.

Obama is a full-monty disgrace. I can’t wait for him to disappear.

I love the way Mark Levin put it: Obama has a “bow” movement problem. Everywhere he goes, he has to take a “bow” movement.
nadadhimmi commented:
What an ass kisser! He will however, use the armed power of the IRS or FBI to bully loyal American citizens.
Jo commented:
the Nuclear Security Summit is nothing but a publicity stunt. No treaty will be achived. Most are broken and most take decades of working out the details. Chinese is building nuclear missiles by the boat-load, and they are now exempt ( thanks to Clinton’s advocacy to get China into the WTO) from telling anyone about their nuke buisness.
So the plan is to have US disarm first, all of its weapons and allow NK, Saudi Arabia ( they are working on bombs too!) Iran, Pakistan, India, China and others to have bombs — anyone thinks that they will disarm are out of their minds.
So I cannot wait until he is out of office. Then I will have a party and invite all.
Helen commented:
At least he managed to show that “dirty Jew” Netanyahu how string he is. First time in my life I am ashamed of being Jewish, because 78% of American Jews voted for this enemy of the USA, leave alone Israel, and plan to do it again no matter what. And we are paying for the circus that this clown holds in Washington this week.
He is ready to hug and bow to any thug or dictator, but as real Islamist he does not want to be seen with Jew – PM of Israel.

Why keep tormenting us …
O-bow-wow is going to do what he does just to insult America. He will be gone soon, then we can all take along shower and wash the stink off.

That picture should be saved for the 2012 presidential campaign.
If we can get a candidate who would actually use it.
NuckingFutz commented:
Ya’ll dont seem to understand……..
ANYONE higher in the communist heirarchy is to be bowed to by the lesser beings.
He’s just following the marxist protocols.
DocScience commented:
Instinctively, Obama bows to those who are smarter or more capable than he is. Like a beta dog in an alpha dog world.
That’s why we see him bowing to almost everyone outside the US, he feels they are superior to him.
I am sure he is correct.

“Meet Your Master”
Bow down in position
Against the polished steel
This is something different
You’ll like the way this feels
No time for asking questions
No time for wondering
We’ve had enough of you now
You’ve heard everything
You want to play a new game
You put on this blindfold
You do what we tell you
You do as you’re told
Used to be the leader
Now comes the time to serve
Maybe we’ll show some mercy
Maybe you’ll get what you deserve
[Chorus:]
Count down to the end
Gotta make it come faster, faster
Right around the bend
Is a coming disaster
Count down to the end
And we’re headed their faster
Come on down my friend
It’s time to meet your master
You’ve left quite a mess here under your stewardship
You thought you figured it out but you’ll find your place in this
You think its so convincing, you think you see the truth
Give us so many things, now who’s got time for you
[Chorus]
Come on down

unbelieveable.
He must think we are all blind, deaf and dumb.
Certainly things would be easier for his agenda if we were.

I don’t mind him bowing to the Chinese so much. It seems…appropriate for him. Wish they would tell him the Chinese PAY for their healthcare.

US study finds huge gas potential in Israel
http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000551974&fid=1725
“An estimated 122 trillion cubic feet … of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas…”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that converts to 3.45 cubic meters. That puts Israel between Iraq and Algeria in this chart, making it a major player…

Helen: Be embarrassed instead for those Jews who voted for this disgrace.
At this point, I know that, in his mind, he’s a citizen of a different country–clearly, he’s distancing himself from the US. Apparently, he believes he’s coding his behavior. If so, what statement is he making, and to whom?
Photos of his bows to world leaders should be prominent in any Republican campaign material, from here on out.
Pat the First commented:
This is getting past ridiculous. American Presidents DO NOT bow to anyone. Makes me wonder how he was raised. Pepole don’t do that this often without it being a part of a habit. It just isn’t right. And it is very, very embarrassing.

That isn’t the first discovery of gas under Israel. There was another a huge find of natural gas just last year. A huge find of oil was found in the last couple of years under Israel.
This is just another sign that we are approaching the end times.

jetstream commented:
Absolutely no reporting is being done by the media on the high-level Kenyan Minister’s statement that Obama was born in Kenya. It’s in an official record dated March 25, 2010 in a discussion about unity and their Constitution, “If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation, how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the President of America? It is because they did away with exclusion.”
I linked to the official record at the Kenyan government website in my comments yesterday on an earlier thread beginning at comment #19: http://tinyurl.com/y62cauz
The silence has been deafening.
Nothing in the media or even at leftist blogs such as Daily Kos. They are not even making fun of anyone who is taking note of the Kenyan statement by trashing them as birthers or conspiracy nuts.
When has that ever happened?
The Post & Email has contacted the Kenyan Parliament regarding the statement that Obama is Kenyan-born. They are requesting confirmation from Mr. Orengo that he indeed stated, during the Kenyan Parliament meeting of March 25, 2010, that Obama was born in Kenya. http://tinyurl.com/ye82499

This new report left out the fact that Obama also bowed to Hu Jintao’s uncle HU YU BORN and his cousin WAH YU BORN.
jetstream commented:
I’ve given all these links as information for you to explore and pursue if you’re interested. We all have to be the information aggregators now, in pursuit of the truth, since the media has abdicated its responsibility.
The statement by the Kenyan Minister is still hearsay. It doesn’t prove Obama was born in Kenya.
But because it is an official record, it can be admitted as evidence in court. The legal burdens of proof basically range from “preponderance of the evidence” in civil trials to “clear and convincing” to “beyond a reasonable doubt” in criminal cases.
World Net Daily has an accumulation of other hearsay by Kenyan officials as well as references in African media all claiming Obama as Kenyan born. http://tinyurl.com/y27oqpq

At this rate, the only world leader Obama will not bow to is Netanyahu.

The problem with the birth issue is that there is zero evidence available to us (unlike what John McCain released) that he was not born in the US. However, until solid evidence becomes available, it is just something that can get us off-track. Right now, we have to work to get the GOP back in power in Congress.
If and until it is proven that B.O. is not a natural born US citizen, it is more important to neutralize him through regaining Congress.
I hope that there is evidence that he lied about his birth and would be taken out of the WH in handcuffs. Would love to see him being paraded around in an orange jumpsuit, but I am not going to hold my breath on that one.

He only bows to non-whites. I wont be surprised if Mugabe of Zimbabwe comes to DC he will get a royal prostration.

Look at the bright side: at least he didn’t bring Hu Jintao coffee.
Opaobie commented:
“Asher shall dip his foot in oil” (Deut. 33:24) …interesting reading concerning your side issue about oil in Israel and Bible prophecy.
Back on topic, it is clear that Obama suffers from Irritable Bow Syndrome. Everywhere he goes, he has to have a Bow movement.

“He only bows to non-whites.”
True that. He nodded to Queen Elizabeth, but bowed (in various degrees, at times deep enough to shine their shoes) to everybody else.
Austin commented:
I’m no fan of Obama, but there is nothing wrong with his bowing. In North East Asian cultures handshakes are not customary, bows are. When I am in Asia I bow to people and they bow to me.
Its the Asian equivalent of a handshake, hardly ass kissing. The issue is did the Chinese Premier bow?
markus commented:
Obama has no shame because is weak, naive, and gullible.
This is exactly the way liberal whites like their blacks.
Obama is an embarrassment to the country.
Steve B commented:
One of the big problems with the bows Obama makes is the lack of eye contact. Sure, Asian cultures bow, but you maintain eye contact, and most modern bows are essentially a tilt of the head…at least between equals. By breaking eye contact and looking down, Obama communicates a subordinate or subservient posture.
He seems genuinely embarrassed or unwilling to assume a posture of equality or confidence when dealing with other countries. Except, you know, Britain and Israel.
Rick B commented:
osama is just a scared little boy that now has some body guards to protect him, in the the face of other LEADERS hes probably terrified, like a beaten little dog in front of a wolf. I’m embarrased to have him as our president.
Robbins Mitchell commented:
Well,call me crazy,but if Barokeydoke is trying to show the entire world that he wants to be remembered as the poster boy for negro inferiority,I can’t think of a better way for him to demonstrate that than by bowing down to tyrants and autocrats

SONG of the YEAR 2012 (lyrics edited)
Pack up all your cares and woes, there you go, bowing low,
Bye-bye blackbird.
When nobody will vote your “truth”, they’ll get cold feet on the way to the votin’ booth,
Bye-bye blackbird.
They said they just couldn’t understand you,
But you ran again and they slammed you,
They’d had enough,so then they went and canned you,
Blackbird, bye bye.
(lyrics butchered but no worse than some treat our anthem)
daryl commented:
There is way of “bowing” in a dignified manner.
BrackO turns it into an embarrassing look, more like he’s groveling.
Scott Wiggins commented:
Obama-mao does this as a means of showing his disdain for the American people. He knows that most Americans detest his adopting “foreign” mannerisms…He’s doing it to stick it in your eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one sick pup the democrats brought us…He is a passive aggressive case study!

JTHC75 commented:
“I’m no fan of Obama, but there is nothing wrong with his bowing. In North East Asian cultures handshakes are not customary, bows are. ”
NOT IN CHINA! Everyone making excuses for bowing to Hu is wrong, because bowing is not a customary greeting in modern China. It was suppressed when the Commies took power, and nowaways bowing is very rare. It’s not like Japan or Korea where bowing has been retained and is a very formalized greeting (nothing wrong with the President exchanging bows in those countries).
JTHC75 commented:
The thing is, bowing is appropriate for an American President in certain circumstances because bowing as a greeting is a sign of respect, not of obeisance. But IT’S NOT APPROPRIATE IN CHINA. Seriously, if you know a Chinese person, try bowing to him. Unless it’s a really old person, he’ll look at you like you’re insane. The problem with Obama isn’t just that he looks asinine bowing to someone who isn’t bowing back, but that he’s using a nonexistent protocol.

Why Don’t Foreign Leaders Bow To Obama?

RebeccaH commented:
Obama isn’t bowing. He’s mooning America.
Bob B commented:
Yes this makes sense. Obama shows some respect to foreign leaders and speaks english. Bush can’t even form a coherent sentence and shoulder rapes a German dignitary but that’s perfectly okay. It’s the same with the teabaggers. They protest everything Obama doesn’t do that the Bush administration DID do and try to blame Obama. Also, you’re all racist.
ZZMike commented:
The reason Obama bows to all these people is because he thinks they’re his betters. In most respects, he’s right.
But the President, like the Flag, “should not be dip’t to any Person or Thing”.
In the case of the Saudi King, however, he’s bowing to a spiritual leader, among whose communicants Obama believes himself to be.
A fool among the comments noted that Bush couldn’t form a coherent sentence. Neither can Obama – without his Teleprompter.
Another, more sensible, commentor says that there’s nothing wrong with bowing. Ordinarily, that’s true – especially in Japan. But the deep bow Obama gave the Emperor was a deep bow – a sign of apology.
Gibson commented:
Umm…bowing is a tradition in many countries, a way for leaders to show respect to each other. Why are photos of the Chinese President bowing to Obama now shown?
Guys, stop displaying your redneck ignorance…so when a virtuoso violinist bows at the end of a performance, what does that mean?
