The actual moonbat defense will be:

"Photoshop! It's a fake! The original photo has been rotated 90 degrees to the left to give the appearance of a 'bow' where none exists! Rotate the fake back to the right, and you will see it is actually a photo of Comrade Obama bending down from Heaven to greet the reclining Japanese in a modern reenactment of the Adam & Eve scene by Michaelangelo, you right-wing Philistines!"

Obama is a pathetic excuse for a disgrace.

JLawson:

Marc -

You're right - in Japan bowing is endemic to the culture. And there's a radical difference in the bow you give to a subordinate, to an equal, and to a superior.

"Let's begin learning how to bow properly in Japan. Bowing seems simple, but there are different ways of bowing. It depends on the social status or age of the person you bow to. If the person is higher status or older than you are, you should bow deeper and longer. It is polite to bow, bending from your waist. Men usually keep their hands in their sides, and women usually put their hands together on their thighs with their fingers touching. If it is a casual situation, you can bow like nodding. The most frequent bow is a bow of about 15 degrees. You might feel strange to do it, but try to bow in Japan. You will be considered very polite.

That ain't no 15 degree bow. That's not a 45 degree bow. That's pretty much a 90 degree bow, the position someone very much inferior would take.

Who the hell is advising him on this shit, anyway?

Then you should know that the depth and length of time you hold the bow IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT. ESPECIALLY when you bow to the Emperor.

This is not a bow amongst equals. This was a definite inferior-to-superior bow. Furthermore, as equals you ALWAYS keep your head up and looking at the person you bow at...unless you are showing your subservience.

Even Mr Miyagi said about the bow: "Always look eye!"

This is not the equivalent of shaking hands, this was the equivalent of getting down on your knees and kissing the ring on his finger.
