Explosion in West Central Il.
Did anyone hear or see the explosion in Il. when my 85 year-old father, a WW11 veteran of combat in the Pacific Theater, saw the picture of our president "bowing" to the Japanese emperor? What have our citizens elected? May God have mercy on us.

If I told you he was an idiot, but he means well, at least I'd be half right.

In the South Georgia vernacular, I figure I have lived "way yonder" too long when I see this stuff.

Potus took a lot of heat for bowing to king abdullah. This is a move to soften his prior transgression, kind of like reverse physchology, oh, why I bow to all important eastern leaders etc.
I have a edge here. I once worked with a co-worker that could have been Obamas twin in both looks, speech and intellect.

It makes me sick to see "my" generation find it acceptable to apologize for all of America's "wrongs", and do stupid things like bowing to respect other cultures at the expense of throwing our own down the toilet.
While I have never served my country, I have always been a proud American and when I see things like this, it boils my blood, which runs Red White & Blue, unlike most of today's folk, who seem to bleed only red - Socialist red. It's sad and pathetic at the same time. I hope America wakes up, and puts a lesser evil back in office.

I've got to disagree with everyone here,while to say I dislike Oboma is not even close to strong enough to describe my feelings toward him lets get real here.There is a differance between a bow and bowing and scrapeing.
To go after him for something this trivial just trivializes our complaints and conserns on serious issues.
If we are not careful we're going to end up like a bunch of whiney democrats going after Bush.

I hope (or not) that the Emporor/King/Whatever had washed his *** yesterday, 'cause the Annoited One must have had to brush his teeth after that session.
