He did it again....!

Just when I thought I had a topic picked out for today from this weekend’s events, the guy in the White House provides me with another subject....

Yes, he did it again. What is "it"? Click here. Yep, that's the President of the United States, bowing, once again to another world leader... only this time he went even lower. Maybe he was checking the emperor’s shoe laces or possibly he dropped something...? If only that were the case.

What is his problem? The President of the United States bows to no one, ever. The same could and should be said for any world leader; from any country. Bowing to someone whom is your peer, is not required and is not a show of respect but a sign of ignorance.

Why does this president feel so ashamed and inferior to be American? Why does he go out of his way to show and tell the world how sorry we are, for all of the evil we've done to the world?

The Japanese emperor has no power, no authority, and is simply a figured head that was allowed to remain so the Japanese people would have someone to look up to at the end of WW2. Maybe he was apologizing for all the wrongs America has done to Japan and its people. Maybe he gave the emperor that long awaited "I'm sorry for blowing 2 of your cities into dust" apology that some in Japan have been looking for, for decades.... who knows what the hell he was thinking. Bottom line, we have nothing to apologize for and the president shouldn't be bowing to anyone.

I will close my rant with this.... I have no problem with Japan, in fact those that know me, know I lived there for 10 years. The problem I have is with the president. He proves every day that he is not capable of leading; and a leader, does not bow, ever.

Thanks Mr. President. I was going to rant about my Pittsburgh Steelers today, but you've helped me move on from that...
