Not Again!!!


One year ago obama broke protocol and bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia at the G-20 summit in London (April 2009).
















Then in Nov. 2009 he did it again when visiting Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

Well guess what? Evidently the third time's the charm, as obama bows to Chinese President Hu Jintao at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington D.C. on Monday April 12, 2010.




















According to international protocol the President of the United States is both Head of State and Head of Government. As such, he is highest ranking dignitary in most settings (other world leaders generally do not hold both positions in their country). So by virtue of protocol and tradition, the U.S. President does not bow.

Unfortunately, the current loser-in-chief shows respect to just about everyone except the U.S. taxpayer...
