Trump's Middle Eastern tour

[Sparko]

Except in Obama's case, his deep, almost subservient bows were an embarrassment to the US.

I don't think so. I think he was just showing respect and the republicans blew it out of proportion just like the democrats are doing with Trump.

the whole argument is ignorant. In some cultures, bowing is just a respectful greeting, like shaking hands. It means nothing subservient.

True. As noted there are different degrees of "bowing" and Obama's were characterized by the Japanese as being what a low level servant does in front of his lord. It actually made them uncomfortable to see Obama doing that.

Some commentators have noticed that Trump was treated with so much respect overseas while he is treated with derision at home, which is an odd contrast. Netanyahu seemed absolutely thrilled to once again be meeting with a President who has earned Israel's respect, unlike Obama who went out of his way to insult our allies.

Even liberal hack Bob Scheifhfer conceded that Trump looked Presidential as he met with Middle Eastern leaders.

Of course it helps when you don't have a president who grovels at the feet of foreign leaders.

While some are desperately trying to spin this trip as some sort of flop even CNN Politics editor-at-large Chris Cillizza has admitted that "Donald Trump's foreign trip is going smoothly" being "defined thus far by its smoothness and general lack of controversy," and saying it's "been the best six days of his presidency in quite some time."

Cash, Cocaine, and Call Girls.

I suspect that you had a neon sign made saying that which is currently hanging in your basement because Mrs. Gerbil wouldn't let you put it over the mantle.

I remember some in the mainstream media quietly criticizing Obama's behavior as awkward, naive, and against the advice of his advisors, but of course they were shouted down by "body language experts" who seemed to dominate the early days of Obama's presidency.

If I ever meet the Japanese Prime Minister I'm going to punch him in the face.

You better not. Think of how the body language experts might interpret it.

I'm still upset about Pearl Harbor.

Trying to upstage Trump^[1], Obama has traveled to Germany where he took a potshot at his successor, "In this new world that we live in we can’t isolate ourselves,” Obama said. "We can’t hide behind a wall."

Ironically, Obama made this statement from behind a wall and numerous other barricades

I found another story at that site very informative about the Obama's. On their Trip to Saudi Arabia she wore a Hajib. but when it comes to a Christian church well a picture is worth 1000 words. photo found here

I somehow doubt that is Michelle Obama.
I don't care for her politics but they'd have to be insane to let the first lady go out like that.

That looks as if she is catching it after the strap fell down.

But let it hang the rest of the time as well as with different tops?
