And you should learn something about diplomatic protocol before posting your opinion. These are heads of state meeting, not two normal Joe's.

Open your eyes, the sun's out and it's a beautiful day, it'd be more constructive than your lame attempt to attribute words to me I never wrote,

So, maybe you can try real hard.

In case you missed the news, this IS NOT 1936! Or are you suggesting Obama should intentionally show disrespect to world leaders when he travels?

Why sir, I do believe you're mistaken. He's looking for US world reputation where the Texas village idiot left it, in the dirt. But I'm sure you're proud of that too.

What he's doing is showing the US is subservient to other countries..not equal.

What this inane thread is doing is attempting to create an issue where NONE exists. The NeoConfused are truly entertaining in a sick sort of way, they have more problems with a bare nipple or the depth of a bow than they have with unnecessary wars of choice. If THAT's the GOP's 'value' system I'll pass Thank You Very Much!

Obama's breach of protocol goes hand in hand with his "reset" of foreign policy.He wants to show the world that yes, the US is no better than any of the murderous, thug regimes that he has embraced. He demonstrates in a very illustrious fashion that the US willingly prostrates itself before the rest of the world. This goes hand in hand with his apology tour, to tell the world that we have so much to apologize for.

Damn - do you think if he had been honest to the American people in his campaign when he said he would "reset" relations, this is what the electorate would be expecting?

IF the US government is truly OF and BY the people is not the POTUS the ultimate 'normal Joe', being that he should (in theory) be representing over 300,000,000 normal Joes & Jos?
