— Gabriel Malor Weasel Zippers asks why the President would bow to the mayor of Tampa.
I'm wondering that myself:

Click for the full shot AP caught for posterity. I thought maybe he was reaching down to pick something up (while simultaneously shaking Mayor Iorio's hand, I guess). But the AP caption says he's bowing to her.
I guess I don't mind so much when he's bowing to an American. I'm not happy about it, but bowing to foreign heads of state pegs my OH HE DID NOT meter while this just rises to "what a buffoon"-levels of presidential misbehavior.
Overwrought, but hits the right notes.

Who knows WTF Obama is really thinking at any moment. The mental gymnastics that it requires to do this job when you're 1) getting bored, 2) not especially fond of your country, 3) sorta lazy and 4) not especially bright must be overwhelming. He's probably a bit crazy by now trying to keep all the rules and lies straight in his head. By 2012 he'll be 100% crazy and start appointing plates of waffles to government posts.
I attribute more malice to Obama than most, but I think he really doesn't know what's up with basic diplomatic shit. Before I thought he was bowing to other heads of state because he wanted to subtly demean the office...not anymore. How he got to be such a transnational Euro-minded milquetoast nerd and didn't learn about "the president doesn't bow to the Mayor of Tampa" stuff just blows me away.

Pam Iorio was born in Maine of all places, and she has Italian heritage. I don't think that's it. I really do think it's Obama's Indonesian heritage coming to the forefront with his ritualistic bowing.

Lyrics for "Take A Bow"
Corrupt
you corrupt
& bring corruption to all that you touch
Hold
you'll behold
and beholden for all that you've done
Spell
cast a spell
cast a spell on the country you run
And risk
you will risk
you will risk all their lives and their souls
And burn
you will burn
you will burn in hell
you burn in hell for your sins
Oh, our freedom's consuming itself
what we've become
is contrary to what we want
Take a bow
Death
you bring death
and destruction to all that you touch
Pay
you must pay
you must pay for your crimes against the
Hex
feed the hex
feed the hex on the country you love
And beg
you will beg
you will beg for their lives and their soul
And burn
you will burn
you will burn in hell
you burn in hell for your sins
Remarkably accurate.

I think he's trying to show his man of the world, worldly, world wise creds here (he's so nuanced he bows...yeah, that's it). Unless of course he dropped a penny right then.

I don't actually feel the way I said. I think the noncrazy have the advantage right now, and I'm more heartened then in a long time that things at least CAN improve. But when I think about all the momentum lost, the loss of confidence in America's institutions, the fool in the White House, the audacity of his coronation by our betters...yeesh, it just overwhelms.
We really actually literally got pantsed in 2008 by the spectre of international Communism. Those fuckin' Greek columns were the visual equal of L'Internationale. It was only a matter of time but dang, they really got it done this time.

But this self-invented form of "bowshake" just looks bizarre. Besides, this being a nation of individualists, the whole heirarchy of who-bows-to-who bullshzt just doesn't sell.

I'm assuming that's the hardcore Dem base. We're a swing state to be sure, but the Dems outside of Franklin and Cuyahoga counties (Columbus and Cleveland) are fairly moderate. Stupid, but moderate. And Hillary won Ohio, so I'm sure a lot of them were wishing she were in the WH instead of him.

Oh for crying out loud. Unsurprising, but don't these douche bags have better things to do? From the LA Times:
Reporting from Washington - President Obama's campaign to overhaul the nation's healthcare system is officially on the back burner as Democrats turn to the task of stimulating job growth, but behind the scenes party leaders have nearly settled on a strategy to salvage the massive legislation.
They are meeting almost daily to plot legislative moves while gently persuading skittish rank-and-file lawmakers to back a sweeping bill.
This effort is deliberately being undertaken quietly as Democrats work to focus attention on more-popular initiatives to bring down unemployment, which the president said was a priority in his State of the Union address on Wednesday.
Many have concluded that the only hope for resuscitating the healthcare legislation is to push the issue off the front page and give lawmakers time to work out a new compromise and shift public perception of the bill.
"A little bit of time and quiet could help," said Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor, a conservative Democrat who was among a group of centrist Democrats from the House and Senate who met last week to discuss a way forward on healthcare.
"Human nature being what it is, it's always easier to be against something than to be for it. And if you create any uncertainty with change, opponents can jump on that and just try to scare people. . . . That has been hard to overcome politically," Pryor said. "Maybe over time, people will have a chance to understand what is in the legislation."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) particularly want to give members time to recover from the shock of Republican Scott Brown's victory in the Massachusetts Senate race two weeks ago. The election cost Democrats their filibuster-proof Senate majority.
But in the coming weeks, Pelosi and Reid hope to rally House Democrats behind the healthcare bill passed by the Senate while simultaneously trying persuade Senate Democrats to approve a series of changes to the legislation using budget procedures that bar filibusters.
At the same time, leading consumer groups, doctors and labor unions that have backed the healthcare legislative effort for more than a year are stepping up attempts to stiffen lawmakers' resolve.
Almost all of the proponents of a healthcare overhaul are desperate to avoid a repeat of the contentious public debate and deal-making that consumed Capitol Hill last year.
"In a 24-hour news cycle, with the Internet and bloggers and cable news, sometimes a lot more can be accomplished, especially with healthcare, when it happens behind closed doors," said Drew Altman, a healthcare policy expert who heads the nonprofit Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
Democrats, who would almost certainly get no Republican votes for their bill, still must overcome substantial obstacles.
Many rank-and-file Democrats remain rattled by Brown's winning campaign in Massachusetts, which in part targeted the healthcare bill in Washington. Recent national polls indicate that fewer than 40% of Americans like the healthcare legislation being pushed by Obama and his congressional allies.
Some Democrats would prefer to vote on a series of more limited bills targeting pieces of the healthcare system, an approach that House leaders are exploring. A group of liberal House lawmakers are pushing for inclusion of a new government insurance plan, or public option, in the final bill.
Tensions also remain high between Democrats in the House and Senate. Many House lawmakers blame the Senate bill for fueling public opposition with provisions such as a new tax on high-end "Cadillac" health plans and special aid for Nebraska that was added at the 11th hour to satisfy the state's Democratic senator.
At a closed-door caucus meeting last week, Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) won applause from his colleagues when he told a story about being confronted recently by an angry voter in his district who said he didn't want his health benefits taxed to pay off Nebraska.
Democrats hope to use a process known as budget reconciliation, which allows budget-related legislation to be passed with a simple majority in the Senate rather than the 60-vote majority that has become necessary given the threat of Republican filibuster.
But many House Democrats do not want to vote on the Senate bill until the Senate passes the fixes they want.
And it is unclear whether the Senate could approve a package of changes to its bill before the House approves the underlying legislation, according to senior Democratic aides. Democratic leaders hope to agree on a procedural path forward by the end of this week.
Despite the hurdles, there is a growing consensus that a modified Senate bill may offer the best hope for enacting a healthcare overhaul.

Ok, my second take on this: Why would the AP go to the trouble of reporting to everyone who would listen that he IS bowing this time? Think of all the trouble that the White House and their complicit journalist friends have gone to over the last year to NOT report that he is bowing?
I'm thinking this might be a false flag bow. So people who support him can say, "See? He bows whenever he shakes hands! Here he is, bowing to a lowly MAYOR!"
Yeah, I went there. A black ops bowing conspiracy.

The ones from areas of the country that have been hard hit were way way more willing to show their bitterness and anger and to suspect that "he is up to something that might not be in our best interests".

Attended a very very large conference for business. In social settings you can make sure you look good and then you get away with asking some very pointy questions in a round about way. Ultimately people don't realize that they are talking about politics if you frame things in just the right way. It was eye opening though.

I have my fingers in a lot of different places. But yes, I have been going to this conference for a long time. Last year you might have thought you would have seen a difference but you didn't. This year, I'm noticing that people are thinking out their every move in the context of the economy and the political climate. Now, maybe some were even doing that last year or some have always done it but this year people were actually saying "well, i'm not sure how the economy is going to be and the direction we are taking from DC so I'm not going to do this or I am going to do this. People are subtly cutting back. Some people did not come to the conference who have been coming for years.
Sometimes I think the fox news watchers and the people who read conservative blogs are the only ones out there reacting. After this weekend I realized that he did himself a huge disservice with his SOTU speech and people were particularly upset about the way he called out the supreme court. Now, this was a professional conference so there were no "union members" there. The only union members were the ones you were required to hire if you were giving a presentation and needed something built or set up. But, since I can talk to a wall, I talked to them too and they aren't so pleased either. They are particularly angry with the fact that so much money is taken out of their checks for "union dues" and, for the most part, they have nothing to say about where that "union dues" money goes.

And Einstein on God:
I can't answer with a simple yes or no. I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's pantheism, but admire even more his contributions to modern thought because he is the first philosopher to deal with the soul and the body as one, not two separate things.

He's clearly not a product of American culture. Clearly a product of a culture with some kind of caste system. Most of his life, people like the Mayor of Tampa would be someone he would need to show extreme deference to, and it's still ingrained in his psyche. So nice that we have a POTUS who is a product of some superior non-American culture.

It definitely doesn't look like Barry was straining to hear her either. Usually when you can't hear someone you lean closer to their mouth with your ear to hear their voice. He's doesn't appear to be doing that here.

I thought: OK, he's making all the criticism of his other giving of the fingers go away by doing that where we couldn't possibly interpret it as "giving the finger."
So, ditto this. He knows he goofed up bowing to those other leaders, so he purposely did it to someone like this, so we would conclude it's just an odd thing he does.
Which is better than bowing to the King of Saudia Arabia, etc.
So he does these things knowingly to kind of "erase" the ones he really meant.
That's my theory, anyhow.

Why is basic etiquette so hard for this idiot? WhatÂ’s so difficult about approaching a person, shaking hands, a moment of chit chat and posing for the cameras, and then carrying on with business? What kind of paranoia or anxiety is running through this foolÂ’s head? Is he trying to over-think every public meeting and tripping over himself? He seems to step on his d**k every other week.
If I had his job and made an ass of myself that consistently I’d hire a dude to go around with me on trips and say something like “Remember dumbass – walk up, smile, shake hands, say hello, and move on. Nothing fancy!” Sheesh. And the Leftards think this guy is some sort of genius...

She was present at the opening of the Tampa Bay History Center on January 17, 2009. On January 28, 2010, she met U.S. President Barack Obama at MacDill Air Force Base. President Obama greeted her by bowing to her.[1]

He does these outrageous things (bows to foreign leaders, bows to the mayors of small cities, puts his hand on his crotch during the pledge of allegiance/national anthem, refuses to release his college records or birth certificate, etc.) just to make some folks on the right go nuts.
He knows the leftists who control most of the mass media will cover for him, and so the main result of this stuff is that it "outs" some people on the right as being a little paranoid. They can then be denounced as "crazies" by his minions and the mass media in an effort to completely discredit them.
Reminds me somewhat of Mao's Hundred Flowers Campaign...

Pam Iorio is a white ITALIAN Catholic who has actually been a pretty decent mayor for a dem. She's brought the crime rate down, been very supportive of the military presence in the city and hasn't spent us into oblivion as so many other mayor have in other cities. There's speculation she's going to run for Martinez' Senate seat since she's term limited as mayor, but she'd have little chance as a moderate Dem from Tampa vs the uber liberal faction down in southeast FL.
Her father immigrated from Naples, Italy with his family when he was a toddler. He went on to serve in WWII as a paratrooper, earning the Purple Heart, then becoming a professor of English and Literature at the University of South Florida.
Not bad people even if she IS a Dem. She definitely seems to have a WTF expression on her face. lol
BTW, the 'pilot' is Admiral Eric Olson, Commander of US Special Operations Command based out of McDill. First Navy SEAL to earn three and then four stars.
As to Obama, I cease to be amazed at the total lack of respect/understanding the man has for the office of President.

One of these days I want to meet Obama and have him bow to me.
Then I can use that line from Superman about...
"You shall bow down to me! Both you! And one day your heirs!"
No clue how the Secret Service would take that.

I laughed out loud. The man wouldn't know civil behavior if it bit him in the ass.
Perhaps if my president showed a bit more civility and respect to me, his constituent, and did not seem so intent on impoverishing me and children and grandchildren, I might be a bit more willing to overlook his clusterfuck of a personality disorder and his complete lack of social grace.
Posted by: toby928: Lord of the run on sentence at February 01, 2010 07:49 PM (PD1tk)
What is your interpretation of civility?
How about others, before him? Did not they also contributed to the impoverishment?
Everyone wants things to be handed them, right now and in this minute. If they are not, people are impatient, and it is always easy to blame someone else.
People who do nothing, will never make mistake, and never be blamed. An easy way to live. Have a patience, faith, and belief in the change. Give him a credit and look from other angle on the issues in current economy.
On other hand, quoting Sapir "impatience translates itself into a desire to have something immediate done about it all, and, as is generally the case with impatience, resolves itself in the easiest way that lies ready to hand".

You are correct that others contributed, the Democratic Congress for instance.
To wit:
January 4th 2007: The day Pelosi became Speaker of the Democratically controlled 110th Congress
DJIA end of session: 12,800.18
National unemployment rate for December 2006: 4.5%
2006 Federal Budget Deficit: $247.7 billion
Average GDP growth for 2006: 3.4%
Median Home Value in December 2006: $244,700 August 2009 $177,500
Average price for Regular Unleaded Gasoline December 2006: $2.30
Federal Debt as % of GDP 2006: 64.55 2008: 70.00 2009(projected): 90.36
Nonfarm employment in thousands Dec 2006: 137,000 December 2009: 130,910
However, despite his many campaign promises to the contrary, Obama has extend and expanded the pocket-picking leviathan state that now threatens to devour my substance, increasing the stealing borrowing of money from the capital markets four fold from the worst deficits of the Bush years and eight fold from the last budget that Bush submitted, with only worse to come.
Obama, and the Dermocratic Congress, are locust, eating out the very substance needed to return the economy to health.
I piss upon him and his stuttering incompetence that is driving the country into penury.

There have been some other advances GHD Hairs since the early invention by Issac Shero and the addition of having straighteners that allow the user to straighten wet hair is one good example. Overall though the ceramic ones are the most common and remain the brain child of the early day inventors Replica watches and will be around for many more years to come.
The GHD Hair Straightener or some may call them hair tongs either way they have become the modern day must have hair accessory for women and now many men. The humble GHD Hairs Straightener some say can date right back to 1872 to a Parisian gentleman called Marcel Grateau. His early invention which was basically heat rods which were used with chemical lotions which were then added to the hair to straighten it. http://www.ghd-hairs-online.com/ghd-rare-styler-p-2.html£¡£¡£¡£¡Like many early day inventions there were many draw backs and many people would find their scalp and hair became damaged and in many cases burnt. The first registered hair iron patent was in 1906 by a chap called Simon Monroe, his invention was basic and in a different format. The hair tool he created consisted of metal teeth which the user would use to comb through the hair; these worked but would not be considered the same product as the GHD Straightener that are used today. £¡£¡£¡£¡The first real hair straightner design that could be considered would have to be in 1909 by Issac Shero, he patented and invented the first heated hair care tools. The first designs were basically hot metal plates that were used to slide through the hair, the products were a great improvement on the early day inventions and provided the user with a much reduced risk on damaging the hair. He then advanced the designs at a later date and introduced more advanced ones which included the ceramic straightener and electrical straighteners. Not only this, but he was also the first person to provide the user with the ability to adjust the heat settings and the sizes of the straightener. £¡£¡£¡£¡There are some Chinese herbs also which helps you to reduce the hair fall like psoralea seeds, mulberries and oyster. These herbs are also very effective and reduce the hair fall. Henna is also very effective herb for hairs. It is one of the oldest herb which helps to reduce the hair fall and it act as the conditioner to the hairs. Rosemary is also very good for hairs. Boil the rosemary with nettle, peach leafs, burdock and sage. And wash your hairs with this solution on regular basis, this will help you to reduce the hair fall and gives you healthy and strong hairs.£¡£¡£¡£¡Most of his design techniques are still used to this very day in the modern day hair salon or home and the reliance on his invention has become second nature to most people. The most common straightener today would be the ceramic ones with the heating elements. The technology remains the same, however has become more sophisticated. The ceramic ones became the chosen type for many for a number of reasons which include the fact that they are less damaging to the hair to use and the ceramic heating elements heat up quickly. http://www.nicewatchessell.com £¡£¡£¡£¡It was proven by the early models that using straighteners can be damaging for the hair if not used correctly or too much, this still applies today and the chances of getting split ends, or brittle and broken hair is increased. Unlike in the early days though there has been advancement in many of the hair tools to prevent this from happening. Products such heat protection sprays and creams will reduce the amount of damage caused by excessive use.
