Bearman Cartoon: Obama bows to Emperor

It seems the masses are all in an uproar about President Barack Obama bowing a greeting to Japanese Emperor Akihito.  So I have gathered the top 5 reasons Obama did this so you people can get over it.   The last reason is todays editorial cartoon.

  1. He is so tall and Akihito so short, that he HAD to bend down to reach Akihito’s hand.
  2. He got confused by the famous international etiquette book Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands that he tried to do all three at once.
  3. He made the Emperor feel superior on purpose.  How many of you wouldn’t grovel to someone you want to lend money to you or invest in your business(es)?
  4. Friday’s basketball game with the White House motor pool caused his back to go out.

AND NUMBER 5….
