This link shows other world leaders meeting the Emperor of Japan. All of them, including Dick Cheney meet him with a handshake and a little dignity. Very respectful without the disgraceful subservience displayed by Obama. Looks right to me. I guess in your world only Obama knows the correct protocol and everyone else is screwed up??? Uhhhh...I don't think so.

Apparently sales for her book are sky high at this point. :salute:

It is my wish that she make a lot of money with this book, enough for her to retire on and spend time with her family. I truly want her to live happily ever after.

I just don't want her in The Executive Branch of the Federal Government. :nope:

She might make a pretty good Representative though. :yep:

Eh I don't care if he has to strip naked and run around with a orange traffic cone stuck up his butt if it helps the country. After all he's really just a temp worker and easily replaced.

A better question is when do our national colors, which represent us all, bow (dip) for other world leaders? Answer: Never!

Because she is such an easy target, she lies over even the silliest little issues and holds up aspects of her life to publicise herself then runs crying foul that poeple are looking at what she put up for them to look at.

Bowing is servitude in my book. But you may take that any way you like.

Because they (meaning the media world) want to chastise her and get her to say something stupid with her during the interview ...

so they can put another feather in their cap for customizeed news reporting to increase revenues down between news stories about big stars passing away like Jackson.

I like her ... I think she wrote the book to make money like everyone else, but she sure grabs a lot of attention wherever she goes.

I like her better than Ophrey thats for sure ... she could be trying for a talk show host never know for sure, but one things for sure with her down home folksy ways she good be the next Will Rogers.

A thorn in Obama's plans for sure :smug:

I believe you are correct on all points. Really, the woman promoting a book and you would think the elections have started again. So what is it that she possesses that make the media do this? Are Liberals scared of this woman?

You sure about that?

US Navy Regulations, Chapter 12, section 1263:

"1. When any vessel, under United States registry or the registry of a nation formally recognized by the Government of the United States, salutes a ship of the Navy by dipping her ensign, it shall be answered dip for dip. If not already being displayed, the national ensign shall be hoisted for the purpose of answering the dip. An ensign being displayed at half-mast shall be hoisted to the truck or peak before a dip is answered.
2. No ship of the Navy shall dip the national ensign unless in return for such compliment.
3. Of the colors carried by a naval force on shore, only the battalion or regimental colors shall be dipped in renderiag or acknowledging a salute.
4. Submarines, or other ships of the line in which it would be considered hazardous for
personnel to do so, shall not be required to dip the ensign."

This is not remotely close to bowing to another leader. In this instance the person Obama is bowing to does not bow to anyone! WTH? Bowing to a person shows servitude. Dipping your ensign is done by both parties in your example. Mutual respect in this instance. :03:
