Political Humor

A lot of fuss has been made about President Obama bowing to Japanese Emperor Akihito. For some reason, people seem to think that it is poor form for the leader of the United States of America to act in a manner that appears subservient to some dirty foreigner.

I, however, am under the belief that there has simply been a big misunderstanding. Through spectral analysis, and a bunch of other sciencey and engineerific methods, I have been able to thoroughly examine the photo of Obama bowing and come to the conclusion that he was NOT, in fact, bowing.

Harvey at Imao.Us surmised that Obama made a botched attempt at curtseying. This is also incorrect.

In order to come to a proper conclusion, you must first realize that Obama is not a sissy. Nor is he stupid. He doesn’t do things like get a bucket stuck on his head, or fix oil shortages with tire pressure. And he doesn’t just wantonly apologize for everything.

Just take a hit from your breathalyzer before going into your hyperventilating hysterics. Or at least use an inhalator.

However, he is the Messiah. So, it stands to reason that he is very taken by his own reflection. Even when that reflection is on the floor.

Or it could have been that he thought he saw a teleprompter there.

Offer your explanation. What is Obama looking at down there?
