I saw this in the Daily News earlier today and couldnt agree more. Since when does the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES kneel before anyone,not to mention a third world nation? This is a disgrace, and why does Obama feel the need to apologize for being an American?
Presidential posture
Jackson Heights: At the Lincoln Memorial, Abraham Lincoln's statue shows him sitting. At the Jefferson Memorial, Thomas Jefferson is standing. If a statue were to be created of Barack Obama, it would show him kneeling in front of the leader of a Muslim nation.

Especially since all Muslims should be dead, right. ???
As far as world affairs and politics go you're pretty much dumber than a box of rocks, ya know.

All the things going on in the world and this is what you are concerned about? Kneeling before Muslim third world country dishonors america? Come on man.

You guys are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I dont appreciate the President of this great Country kneeling before anyone. Sometimes I do stereotype, thats a character flaw I probably need to work on, but I dont think our Commander in Chief should be bowing or apologizing to anyone.
Obama wants everyone to love him , but he has a job to do-he needs to remember that first.
I think all the fanatics,whether Muslim or not were looking at this and laughing at us

No they are laughing at us because of deregulations in the mortgage lending and credit deriviates market (both parties). How about the wonderful way the US Govt handled Katrina. That's what they are laughing about. In my job i have to speak with people from all over the world and they ask how the most powerful country in the world could treat it's people like that. What you see as a weakness/flaw others see as opening up the lines of communication. Trying new ways to do business. Like you said there are varies opinions on this.
-
Baldi, this is ridiculous. Who cares what the president of any country does to show respect when he greets another world leader.
-
C'mon now.
He bowed, not kneeled. Thats like shakin hands in some cultures out there. Japanese do it all the tme.

I couldn't agree more Baldi. i'm with you on this one. Especially when we have brave men and women fighting in Iraq and Afganistan for our freedoms. Plus he let Chavez embarrass him in front of the wold. I know if my son or daughter were over there, i would not appreciate it.
