(h/t Gabriel at Ace of Spades)
For the life of me I really don’t understand what in Heaven’s name is going on here. When I first encountered it at Ace of Spades I thought they were pulling my chain. But the AP cut line makes clear what is going on:
U.S. President Barack Obama bows to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio at MacDill Air Force Base on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010 in Tampa, Fla.
The mayor of Tampa isn’t a Third World potentate, totalitarian dictator, or terrorist leader so I can’t understand why Obama would be in full-bow mode. Is bowing now the standard way the President greets people these days? Is he misoriented, for some reason, and thinks Tampa is a terrorist stronghold or an enemy of the United States? Does the US owe Tampa a boatload of money and the bow just good business practice?

Beaglescout (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 2:13AM EST (link)I used to wonder why he was bowing all the time too. Then I realized the man holds a huge party every three days, has a demanding wife and two kids, gives an average of three speeches every two days, plays golf daily, meets in smoking-prohibited back-rooms to scheme about healthcare with union thugs and senators and other unsavory types, plays basketball, bowls, travels all over the world and apologizes to everyone for all the people who he worked so hard to represent as President. Plus he has a full-time job! The man is tired!
He power naps when he goes in for the handshake. It isn’t bowing! It’s napping!

writeblock Sunday, January 31st at 9:23PM EST (link)…It seems alien culturally. Just plain odd for someone whose every action–as he should know by now–is carefully scrutinized for hidden significance. He doesn’t put his hand over his heart for the National Anthem either–and this has seemed strange for a president. It feeds into a vague suspicion about his motives. His obvious coddling of terrorists doesn’t help.

This woman was probably born and raised in the United States and is most likely not accustomed to being bowed too. However, our president is treating her as if she is from her country of origin.
I may be way out of line and I apologize if I am, but on first glance,that is what appears to be happening here.

Pam Iorio best Tampa Mayor
kmacwayne (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 7:55AM EST (link)Sorry to disappoint but I’ve got to throw some tenderizer on this red meat – Pam Iorio has been one of the best Mayors Tampa’s had in a long time – reminds me of Palin in a way – common sense leadership- she immediately put in a “no gifts” policy when she was elected – no even a free lunch, drives a regular car – no muss – no fuss. She is pragmatic and employs common sense leadership and spending policies. She is not Asian and I’m a bit embarrassed that you guys would go that far to make a joke. Pam has cut through a lot of “good ole boy” Tampa politics, ( which rules the day here at times ) made some folks mad along the way, but has our city’s best interest at heart. I have no clue what O is bowing at other than perhaps he is awed by the fact that a democrat can employ common sense policies and spending discipline and might be concerned that he will face her in the Senate or House someday in the future – in which case, he should be scared.

Jack_Savage (Diary) Tuesday, February 2nd at 10:09AM EST (link)The next time I get way too close to a woman’s cleavage. “I was just listening to her talk, honey! Really!”
I am sure that will fly. Many thanks from all of us.
Is that you Olbermann?
sharonmcp (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 10:36AM EST (link)So is what you’re saying that, the next time I have trouble hearing someone I should ask them to speak into the top of my head?
You don’t need MSNBC to answer that one for you, do you?

I'm not going to bother explaining to you
hickorystick (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 11:08AM EST (link)what the expression “he’s got a hole in his head” means, when you can’t figure out the -REPLY TO THIS- button. Don’t ever compare me to that creep Olberman
hickorystick, I was not responding to you
sharonmcp (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 11:23AM EST (link)I was responding to robertkincaid’s comment.
I thought that was evident by my comment, “Wow, you’re fast today Moe, you had him zapped before I could write my reply.”
And I apologized for mistakenly not using the REPLY TO THIS button.
I guess your rush to judgment that I was referring to you shows that I’m not the only one capable of making a mistake.

Yes, I am capable of making mistakes
hickorystick (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 11:58AM EST (link)If I had read the Kowalski more carefully i might have avoided this misunderstanding. All the best.
y'all are on the same side... making the same joke as it were.

yoyo (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 1:00PM EST (link)and I will save the snarkiness until after I say this:
I do this to my wife, mother-in-law, mother, step-mother, co-workers, and all other associated “vertically challenged” folk around, especially on a tarmac or outside. I am 6′ 5″; BHO is close to this. What happened is that the Mayor was speaking and he couldn’t hear.
That said, the photo is unfortunate. And HILARIOUS. It couldn’t have been better if someone snapped a pic of him scratching his … well … doing something with his other hand at the same time as shaking hers.
LOL

How many times has B.O. bowed to people now?
randy streu (Diary) Monday, February 1st at 1:04PM EST (link)and EVERY TIME with a different excuse. At some point his handlers need to just tell him to stand up like a freaking adult.

WylieJon Monday, February 1st at 2:00PM EST (link)We all know he bows to heads of state…
Actually...
wardjh Monday, February 1st at 2:12PM EST (link)I think he is trying to be respectful.
My suggestion is that instead of bowing he should
Curtsy.
More fitting, and it leaves him in a position that doesn’t promote a SWIFT KICK.
Come on... the O's just thinking...

Bowing
beanerecmo Monday, February 1st at 11:32PM EST (link)The only reason he is bowing to one of America’s mayors is just to show that it was no big thing to bow to the foreign leaders (pretenders) because it his way of trying to blunt that criticism; i.e., it’s his standard protocol.
I was a liberal until I learned to read, got a job and was mugged by willful tax and spend regressives (aka progressives) and naive acolytes.
If that is his idea, it's not working (nt)
