Video: Obama's Bow To Japan's Emperor: How Low Can You Go?

By Robert Paul Reyes

If pictures speak louder than words, then videos speak so loudly that they simply can`t be ignored.

There is a video posted on YouTube that shows President Barack Obama bowing so low before Japan`s Emperor, that it looks like he is servicing the foreign potentate.

The emperor doesn`t reciprocate; traditionally he bows to no one.

Obama then turns to the Emperor`s wife, and repeatedly bows before her, the president looks like a chicken picking up crumbs.

Obama is the Leader of the Free World, and he shouldn`t be subservient to any foreign leader. The president has a very unflattering track record of humiliating himself before foreign rulers.

The President of the United States should stand tall when representing America overseas. I am outraged over Obama`s penchant for bowing before kings and emperors. The president of our great country shouldn`t give undue deference to corrupt dictators like Saudi Arabia`s King Abdullah, or figureheads like Japanese Emperor Akihito.

Watch the video and make up your own mind! Did Barack Obama embarrass himself, and the United States?
