    This is a throwback to his upbringing when mooslums bowed to everyone as a courtesy. He can’t break the habit. I really don’t think it means a thing, but is just habit. It does demean him, but who cares? More and more people are losing any respect for him anyway.

    Well it seems Obowma knows his betters after all.

    I wonder what blacks felt about being called mongrels?

    I hope Christie washed his hand immediately…you never know what other hands that bho has shaken! You couldn’t pay me enough to shake hands with Obama. The evil vibes would probably put me into a coma.

    What an interesting contrast!

    A President, who leads a government at war with its people

    versus a Governor who is leading a restoration of his state.

    Good question. What I’m wondering is how long it will take some (c)rap “artist” to name his album Mongrel.

    Then every libtard will demand that it be unspeakable and be referred to as the “M” word.

    Thought balloons over Christie:

    “At least he’s smart enough to recognize his superiors.”

    “Now bring my knee up into his ugly mug!”

    “Wonder if he thinks that hand sanitizer on my hand, or does he know I hacked a luggie on it before shaking his hand?”

    “SAY UNCLE! SAY IT! SAY IT!

    “That has GOT to be the weakest, wimpiest hand shake EVER!”

    Seeing him bow to Chirstie shows me that he just bows whenever he shakes hands with people. Its a tactical move that on the surface shows humility. I say its a tactic because we know this man is not humble, so he must do this as a passive agressive way to disarm people.

    The interesting this to me in this pic is Christie. Head high, eyes up, firm grip. I hope my son grows up to greet people with this type of assured confidence.

    Can’t get worked up on this one. It looks as though they were sharing a good laugh. (This is not in the lamentable category of the bows to the King of Saudi Arabia or the emperor of Japan.)

    Happyscrapper (#2), it is very common to bow in the Orient, although not that low–especially for adults with important positions. A slight bow with the handshake would be correct in Korea, for example, without any subservience implied.

    stillontheroad (#9) I like your comment, I was kind of thinking the same thing.

    BHO isn’t bowing – he just fell for Christie’s greeting:

    “Hey Mr. President, your shoe’s untied.”

    Observe Christie’s face -

    “Hah, made jugears look!”

    My initial impression before I saw the photo was that obama must be bowing to Tony Hayward. Now I see it is Christie.

    Of course, bowing to one’s superior is appropriate, but in obama’s case he might be planting a ricin tipped mini-dart into Chrisie. I remember an Indian diplomat back a few decades who used to smile more when he was getting increasingly angry. I would tell Christie to beware this association with obama.

    Who knows? Maybe Obamalamadingong is taking tae kwon do lessons, and his Master instructor told him his bowing needs work. After all, it’s one thing to know who’s aaaaaaass to kick, but it’s another thing to know how to do it.

    Obama is mentally unfit to be President,

    the rest of that line of his mag-assity was (para-phrasing) “whites are too, we just know more.”

    I agree.. I do it all the time, too. I mean laugh when I see a picture of O-bowmao. I don’t agree that it’s a stretch to label what he’s doing as bowing. It’s his trademark, especially to leaders from other countries.

    Uhm, he probably figured Christie’s one guy he wouldn’t be able to down in a jujitsu move (if he knows any)! He’s about to humbly ask, too, how the governor manages to earn the respect of many without using bribery, intimidation, and union thuggery! Heh!

    HI FIRSTSKIRT–#11. Good eye–the AF Master Sergeant is doing what all good Military Personnel must do when a President they must respect as our country’s leader–but do not respect personally–is on the scene.
    ***
    Stiff upper lip–no emotion–render the proper military courtesy and military respect. These good people follow our laws and defend our Constitution–even if Comrade Obama (PBUH) and his ilk fail to do so.
    ***
    This same behavior was obvious when President Bubba Clinton made his first visit to the military on an aircraft carrier. And when President Bush 43 landed on an aircraft carrier. Cold, stiff military on the first carrier–and real like and respect for one who served in our Military on the second one.
    ***
    And I know the feeling well–I was a draftee in the U.S. Army when President Johnson was throwing away 66,000 military lives as he failed to know how to win an easily winnable war. I couldn’t talk badly about him–I still had to respect him as President.
    ***
    Our Military Personnel are a lot smarter than our political elites think. Just watch their eyes and their demeanor.

    I noticed that there is mention of the word “Mongrel” in regards to a person’s ancestral heritage.

    I have called myself a “Mongrel” for a few decades now, as I am of mixed ancestral heritage (read: “race” or ethnicity).

    Our children are even more a mix of ancestral heritage than I am, making them even more “mongrel” a mongrel than I am, having a father of mixed ancestral heritage, and a mother of still another ancestral heritage (Interracial/multi racial marriage).

    In fact, with my wife and my combined ethnic/racial/ancestral heritage our children might rival the United Nations for the most diverse racial-ethnic heritage.

    Yes, they are quite beautiful and handsome, and they are quite bright.

    Perhaps that mixed ethnic-racial ancestry contributes something to it.

    Oh, they have been exposed to numerous laguages here at home, and at family gahterings as well: English, Spanish, Cantonese Chinese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Punjabi, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Hawaiian, American Sign Language (ASL), French, Korean, some German, Vietnamese, Burmese, just to name the languages they are most frequently exposed to.

    When I see and hear racist, liberal, leftist blacks, Hispanics, Caucasians (most often ill informed, underinformed, overly indoctrinated in leftist nonsense, brainwashed, robitic, obsessed, caught in phony “while guilt,” overly engaged in their own self imoportance democrats) spewing their racist racial nonsense, trying to always make race an Issue, I see and hear a bunch of immature, mentally deranged, obsessive fools engaging in nonsense. They don’t know what they are talking about.

    In certain ethnicity, bowing is a sign of acknowledging the superiority of the other person; superiority may be class based (Brahmans vs Dravids in India), Academic achievements based or simply Financial success based.

    Obama is incompetent, inexperienced, and is a victocrat, and he is aware of his deficiencies; hence bowing to anyone who he feels is accomplished or superior.

    The fool doesn’t realize that holding the Presidency of the Unites States require exhibiting strength and confidence. Bowing is neither.
