			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You guys must have read about the controversy by now : President Obama bowed before the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_of_Japan" title="Emperor of Japan" rel="wikipedia">Emperor of Japan</a>, Emperor <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akihito" title="Akihito" rel="wikipedia">Akihito</a>! The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics" title="Right-wing politics" rel="wikipedia">right wing</a> have gone nuts over it. We are going to have some sarcastic fun.<br />
<!--ADS_INT sense3 --><br />
 It seems that they think that the President bowing would cause Armageddon to happen, like 2012 the movie .My life must not end like that&#8230;. Boring! Ask anyone that watched the movie, it is so boring, I do not want to bore myself to death … Arrrggghhh!</p>
<p>Oh my God, he first bowed before the Saudi royalty. Wait he was Muslim right. But his color is a bit off&#8230; Now we know why, he is half Japanese!  He is not Kenyan, British, Cuban, Vietnamese, Communist, Hawaiian or other things like the other birther theories&#8230;now this is the real birther truth. </p>
<p>Japan never liked losing <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II" rel="wikipedia">World War 2</a> so they wanted to take revenge. So they acted like best friends with the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;t=h" title="United States" rel="geolocation">United States</a> till they can send one of their spies over. The spy would run the country, but for it to run there, he needed to be born. They got their most Caucasian looking person they know and named them Dunham. Japan always had fertility problems, so they went to seek the help of the Saudis who could marry four wives. Wham bham, President Obama came along and he would at the right time give our country to the Japanese. Somebody tell Orly Taitz now.. Arrrggghhhh!</p>
<p>Who knows if he is just bowing, he could be doing some crotch action on the Emperors man. Maybe, he has a fetish for Royal male crotches. May be that is why Queen Elizabeth did not get the full bow. (Gasp!) Run Prince (of Wales) Charles, run! Run behind <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Obama" title="Michelle Obama" rel="wikipedia">First Lady Michelle Obama</a>&#8217;s arms. It must be that smile that they cannot resist I tell you. Its either that or his huge ears. We know nobody find a person&#8217;s intelligence a turn on factor&#8230; Arrrggghhh!</p>
<p>Oh man, we got to get to tell the American Queen, I mean Oprah! Only she can fix this man. We all know that he should be a good American and only bow to Oprah! She is the Queen and the benevolent ruler of our minds, unless you are part of a cult run by the charismatic, slim, hunk, truth telling, self proclaimed “rodeo” clown&#8230; <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.glennbeck.com/" title="Glenn Beck" rel="homepage">Glenn Beck</a>! Arrrggghhh! </p>
<p>Okay, snapping back to reality right now, I think that America should be embarrassed by one of the President&#8217;s actions. He could not pronounce Burmese freedom fighting queen, the elected <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_minister" title="Prime minister" rel="wikipedia">Prime Minister</a> of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=19.75,96.1&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=19.75,96.1%20%28Burma%29&amp;t=h" title="Burma" rel="geolocation">Burma</a>, Aung Sang Suu Kyi. That is an embarrassment in all seriousness. It showed his lack of care about Burma till then. </p>
<p>But you know the media, they would never pick this kind of thing up. They would rather see how the President greeted his hosts. They would rather compare how he bowed with other world leaders and previous Presidents, but they would keep mum about a brave lady that has spent so much of her life fighting for <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights" title="Human rights" rel="wikipedia">human rights</a> and democracy, a tenet of our country..</p>
<p>I really do not know who is a more sad case, the media, or the President for not pronouncing her name correctly&#8230;<!--ADS_INT sense4 --><br />
