The mayor of Tampa is a dermitologist. Bamma asked her to look at his itchy scalp.
Or, the people pledging allegiance to the government is heresy to the philosophy on which this nation was founded. If the people are to pledge to anyone, it is to each other to uphold the compact to which they are a party, the Cons ution.

See... I knew you would come around...
So he is bowing because she is asian?
She could be korean, or chinese, but he's still using japanese customs LOL
ing idiot. obama is a turd caught up in his own self-image
Bowing your head to The Pope or to the mayor of Tampa? I will go with bowing your head to The Pope. The Pope > mayor of Tampa. If Obama bowed to the mayor because she's Asian then wouldn't that make Obama a racist or bigot? He's assuming that he has to bow to her because of her race.
he was looking at something on the gorund you dumb re s
haven't you heard? Obama is the first president EVER to do anything!
Perhaps. But just in case he wasn't why don't you go ahead and post a bunch of funny looking pictures of Bush so as to make sure that Blue Team doesn't lose any points to Red Team in the daily chatboard pissing contest.
If you were going to bash Bush's intelligence in order to defend Lord Obama, you might want to think about it for a minute. Wasn't Obama the one that said America had 57 states?
And Red Team responds............
Given the trend of Obama's record so far, the alternative for Blue Team camp followers is apparently to continue to keep hating Bush, instead of their own guy for resembling him so much.
It makes sense to me, and as for points scored, why not let it slide, c_g?
Blue team lacks consistent scorers on this board. The trend of commentary lately seems much against Obama on both sides of the putative divide. Pro-Obama forces are represented well neither in the number or sustained quality of their posts in support of their guy here relative to the red team, which has the same qualitative fault IMO.

Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio on Tuesday dismissed the controversy over a photograph that showed President Obama bowing to her last week at an Air Force base in Tampa, saying the president was only being "gracious."
The president, who faced criticism last year for bowing to Japanese Emperor Akihito and slouching toward Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah months before that, was captured in an AP photo on Thursday bent at a 45-degree angle toward Iorio while greeting her at MacDill Air Force Base.
In case there was any doubt about what was being depicted, the AP caption read: "U.S. President Barack Obama bows to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio."
But Iorio told Fox News Obama was just being a gentleman.
"It's hard for me to believe that this is such a major issue," she said. "It is an unusual photograph, but ... I wish people could all meet President Obama face to face, but he is a kind and sincere and gracious individual and you really see that when you meet him."
Iorio said the issue does not deserve "the kind of analysis that's been going on."
Obama was in Tampa to discuss jobs-creation and federal funding for mass-transit projects at a town hall-style meeting. But the run-of-the-mill nature of the stop made the bow seem all the more out of place.
The photo quickly made its way around the blogosphere over the weekend. Redstate.com, in a scathing post, suggested Obama should save his bows for more reprehensible figures.
"The mayor of Tampa isn't a Third World potentate, totalitarian dictator, or terrorist leader so I can't understand why Obama would be in full-bow mode. Is bowing now the standard way the president greets people these days? Is he misoriented, for some reason, and thinks Tampa is a terrorist stronghold or an enemy of the United States?" Redstate.com wrote in a post.
don't play for either team. Just pointing out Osama's predecessor is the unbeaten undisputed pound for pound champion.
Oh, and I guess the Mayor of Tampa must be a "dumb re " since she apparently didn't know that Obama was just looking at something on the ground.
nah, just want to make sure we don't forget the previous court jester
bingo.Oh, and I guess the Mayor of Tampa must be a "dumb re " since she apparently didn't know that Obama was just looking at something on the ground.
Bush is -stupid-, so it's not his fault
Obama is not stupid, he's just full of himself and wants to suck s and bow to everyone so people can like him.
I can forgive Bush, but not obama.
she's asian, so he bows ? should I go up to black people and give them a african tribal greeting?
so Bush was not arrogant and selfish?????
these Obama haters have the memory of a re ed elephant. Bush and his cabinet were the most arrogant group of assholes to walk in the white house.
Obama and Bush. they are both from the same tree. Until americans don't come to an agreement with that, they are in a sad pathetic state.
But did he bow because the Mayor was Asian or it's something he just does regularly?
It's a shame with all the silly pictures bush has been in, you have to use ones taken out of context or photoshp'd.
Calm the down! Damn. This is not a big dea at all. If you guys really think that Obama is bowing down out of submission to the mayor, you got problems. Do you really think the mayor is taking his bow as a sign of weakness? Please. If anything, it just probably made her feel awkward but she knows Obama had good intentions. Some asians in America still bow to each other and some asians don't. Obama took the chance to bow anyway just in case.
And I doubt that any other country is taking Obama's bows as a sign of weakness. "Oh my god, Obama bowed to the Saudi king, lets invade America!!! He will just bow to us and let us take over!! WOO HOO!" Luckily for them, they arent as stupid as you guys are acting about this.
Guys
Pam Iorio is not even asian.
Her father is italian, and she was born in USA.
So what the is he bowing for? this is even worse.
Oh my God, you're right. This is obviously part of a nefarious plot to get the youth of America comfortable with the idea of bowing to their communist overlords.Guys

Either that or Obama just made a fool of himself. One or the other.
W..............T..............F?? She's not asian? LMAO! Now that is some funny !
Obama why in the are you bowing down to that woman? Speak to me brotha. Is it because of your Indonesian upbringing? Your Hawaiian upbringing? Are you trying to show humlity in spite of being a powerful man in America? Are you trying to show that the president bows to the people of America and not the other way around? Whats up??
