Why Obama lacks "blood impulse" for what "America is about" and it's also due to the fact that his father was kenyan. Are you kidding me ? So Obama has no "blood impulse" for what America because a father he never knew was kenyan ? Are they for real ? They don't even hide their racism anymore, do they ?
I almost felt sick when I first read the article via MediaMatters. I couldn't believe my own eyes.
From Washington Times editor emeritus Wesley Pruden's November 17 :
So far it's a memorable trip. He established a new precedent for how American presidents should pay obeisance to kings, emperors, monarchs, sovereigns and assorted other authentic man-made masters of the universe. He stopped just this side of the full grovel to the emperor of Japan, risking a painful genuflection if his forehead had hit the floor with a nasty bump, which it almost did. No president before him so abused custom, traditions, protocol (and the country he represents). Several Internet sites published a rogue's gallery showing how other national leaders - the prime ministers of Israel, India, Slovenia, South Korea, Russia and Dick Cheney among them - have greeted Emperor Akihito with a friendly handshake and an ever-so-slight but respectful nod (and sometimes not even that).
Oh really ? No other US presidents never bowed to a monarch ? So maybe Wesley Pruden is telling us that President Dwight Eisenhowner, Bill Clinton, Richarch Nixon and VP Dick Cheney (who bowed to the Saudi King) aren't americans ? For the record, Pruden should do some research, he would learn that Cheney was blasted in Japan because he didn't bow to the Emperor and showed his hand before the Emperor showed him his hand. Any way, apparently Pruden wanted to race bait.
Now we know why Mr. Obama stunned everyone with an earlier similar bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, only the bow to the Japanese emperor was far more flamboyant, a sign of a really deep sense of inferiority. He was only practicing his bow in Riyadh. Sometimes rituals are learned with difficulty. It took Bill Clinton months to learn how to return a military salute worthy of a commander in chief; like any draft dodger, he kept poking a thumb in his eye until he finally got it. Mr. Obama, on the other hand, seems right at home now giving a wow of a bow. This is not the way an American president impresses evildoers that he's strong, tough and decisive, that America is not to be trifled with.
Even more laughable, do even Pruden know that in Japan Bowing is showing respect. The more you bow, according my sister who lived in Japan, the more you show your respect for your counterpart. Bowing in Japan is an art.
But the "best part" is yet to come--snark--
But Mr. Obama, unlike his predecessors, likely knows no better, and many of those around him, true children of the grungy '60s, are contemptuous of custom. Cutting America down to size is what attracts them to "hope" for "change." It's no fault of the president that he has no natural instinct or blood impulse for what the America of "the 57 states" is about. He was sired by a Kenyan father, born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World and reared by grandparents in Hawaii, a paradise far from the American mainstream.
Do you understand Mister Prudent's logic now ? For the record it's not the first time that Prudnt uses race baiting to make his point against Obama. It seems like the fact that the POTUS is bi-racial bothers him. And we're supposed to take the Washington Times seriously ?
