Last Thursday, President Obama decided he needed to fan the flames of Republican hatred by bowing at another photo op. This time it was to Pam Iorio, the Mayor of Tampa, when the President was in Florida to announce the new high-speed rail system. To recap, first he bows to the Saudi King, which is weird but Bush held hands with the King so whatever. Next, Obama bows to Emperor Akihito, though the gesture isn’t completely unprecedented as bowing in Japan is customary to say the least. Now, Obama bows to the Mayor of Tampa? I’m not sure what’s going on, but the President seems to be bowing to people in decreasing orders of significance. I mean, the King is a pretty big cheese, Akihito is just a figurehead, and Mayor Iorio is just some lady who was nearby. Soon, Obama will be bowing to Joe Biden and every other retard on the street.
Is this news? Maybe not, but then again Kruschev went down in the history books as a dipshit for banging his shoe on a table and that only happened once. It’s certainly a weird move for the President, who can no longer argue that he’s just showing respect to foreign monarchs. Perhaps he’s trying to exhibit his humility, after his State of the Union address was mocked for being too narcissistic. Or maybe Michelle was back in Washington and he heard that Iorio is a cheap date (Barry, you dog!). Who knows, who cares? Whatever the reasoning, it’s sure to send the cable news sharks into a frenzy, so hopefully John Stewart will have something funny to say about it.

Obama being narcissistic is a common regurgitated idea among partisan Republican hacks.

give it a rest already. you're boring with this stuff. if you're going to pick on President Obama, find something worthwhile to write. This is foolish. And stop using the word retard or people will mistake you for a loser.
