Can people stop using the abbreviation POTUS it sounds like an environmentally friendly car made by Toyota damnit!

You are correct but I’ve been thinking…
Shouldn't it be TPOTUS? Then there would be no need for the ‘the’ that always precedes POTUS?

Imho, there are plenty are plenty of ways for a U.S.. President to convey respect--eye contact, a nice smile, a firm handshake, correct form of address--without resorting to a gesture that can be (mis)construed.

The point, Lucy, is that its funny how we're not supposed to discuss the President of the United States because there are supposedly more important things to post about...

Its a recurring joke around here, I was just pointing it out.

Thats all...

And its my opinion that even miss manners gets changed from time to time. Obama and the Emporer started off with a hand shake, a western tradition, and moved into a bow, an eastern custom, thereby melding the two forms of respect into a single gesture.

Then they invented the ISO Greeting to streamline the process, why nobody uses this is beyond me.

Ron, that was one of the greatest diplomatic statements of all time!  It was regarding a Japanese trade proposal in the late 80's, IIRC.

You just live to deny republicans their great moments, don't you?

I had to find the information.. yet again.

Shall i also repost the pics of Bush bowing as well?



AMERICAN PRESIDENTS SHOULD NOT BE BOWING TO ROYALITY!

Plain and simple.


It shows respect for their culture. Bowing is not an act of submission but of respect. Go into any martial arts studio and the head instructor will bow to their newest student before sparring. That the emperor doesn't bow is also traditional. Not bowing to him would have been a huge insult that just isn't worth making. I'm pretty sure the importance of good relations with Japan is more important than some internet guys bitching on a forum.

Does anyone know if Obama bowed to, or traded bows with, the Japanese prime minister?
