Bwahaha!!


Obama apparently thinks Tampa mayor Pam Iorio is head of a sovereign state (photo courtesy of AP).

I mean, why else would he bow to her? (H/T: Weasel Zippers)

It appears to be a physical tic, possibly related to the lack of an actual spine.

perhaps his ego is so heavy his neck cannot hold up his head

Perhaps What He Did Wasn’t Occidental?

It looks as though he's fallen asleep.

I think he looks like a marionette whose strings have been cut.

Maybe the windup key for his back hasn't deplaned yet.

He said 'that's Chanel'

She said 'no its Yves St Laurent'

He (bowing very low) said 'I am so sorry'

Obama needs to cut back on the sushi consumption. Seriously Mr. President, just because the Mayor is of Asian ancestry...for goodness sake, she's American! Didn't you get the "Content of a Person's Character" memo?

It must be a high for the Mayor though. "Wow! The President bowed to me!"

Misred, you're right that massive ego is very heavy. But I think that he has been taking notes from old footage of Mussolini.

Of course, we all might be wrong and he just dropped another contact...or something.

Pam Iorio isn't Asian, she's Italian (although she does look kind of Asian in that photo).

So Bam had even less excuse for the bow. I really do think it's a knee-jerk reaction on his part (Indonesia, Hawaii, pals with tons of Pakistanis during his student years, he spent his whole youth surrounded by Asians).

The problem is, Bam isn't Asian, and neither is America. This tic of his just makes him look stupid.

Thanks for setting me straight, RebeccaH. I was told that she was of Asian heritage and married to a guy of Italian background. Either way, you're right, the Bam shouldn't be bowing to anyone. I grew up in Hawaii and no one went around bowing. JeffS seems to have it correct...mirror shoes.

So these are the guys really in charge of things over there?

Maybe he got hammered on the jet, and was about to pass out.
