Filed under Barack Obama, Blogmocracy, Caption This, Humor, Open thread at January 31st, 2010 - 6:00 pm

Our Radical Progressive President, Barack Hussein Obama, bows yet again. This time he bows to Tampa Mayor, Pam Iorio. Yes the President of the United states bows to a mayor! There are no words left to say. I’ll let the pictures speak for itself.

    All this bowing. If he wasn’t such an arrogant prick, I’d think he had an inferiority complex.

    @ wolfie:
    Why is it (almost) a reflex that he bow to some people, but not others? A mayor but not the Queen? This is why he seems so different and out of touch. It is not his race, it is stuff like this. Weird and yes, IMO, his “otherness”.

    That is a great puzzlement. I assumed that his gauche treatment of Elizabeth — Michelle hugging her, no less!—and his obsequious groveling before the Saudi and Japanese monarchs was simply a reflection of his hatred of “Eurocentrism.”

    But this mayor thing is just plain bizarre.

    The previous administration’s protocol office always stays until it is gradually replaced. That way new presidents have expert help following the rules immediately.

    I don’t think Obama believes that he needs help. He thinks he can do it his way and it will automaticaly be better because he is an Enlightened One.

    Idiocy or hyper-narcissism?
    The latter, I suppose.

A little bird sweaking away because an evil teabagger stamped on it, and looked down just when the cameraman took the picture. The cameraman probably works for the heartland institute too, and he’s a nazi! Bush bowed!
