Obama deep bow worth

President Barack Obama made a 90 degree deep bow to the Japanese emeperors during his visit to Japan in November 2009. This has caused many Americans to complain that the deep bow to Japan's emperor Akihita was out of the norm, a little too servility of manners seems to have damaged the character of a great nation. As a U.S. president, he should not kneel down to any country's leader!

Obama, in particular the depth of bow to the Japanese emeperor's either intentionally or unintentionally, not only caused resentment from his people, some arrogant westerners also feel uncomfortable by president doing!

In any case, I believe that the deep bow of president Obama to the Japanese emperor may have its purpose. He may do it for the country's interest at the expense of his own dignity; people should understand his pain.

President Obama has repeatedly pointed out that the America can't rely solely on military and economic super power, the trend of people are equally important to influence the world. Therefore Obama is determined to pursue a "smart power" policy: he knew that the elements of the Japan Democratic Party won the election becuase the major Japanese voters were supporting their "distance U.S. and closer to Asia" policy.

The clever president Obama knew that in order to make Japanese Democratic Party to change their policy forward America. He must first of all strive for Japanese voter to favor the United States and the best way to achieve this is to pay respect to the Japanese emperor.Because most Japanese are still very loyal to their emperor.

A Japanese wrote: "never before has any U.S. president respected Japanese emperor as president Obama, his attitude and his manner made me feel so good".

From the well praise of the Japanese people toward president Obama, we can see the sacrifice of his dignity is worthwhile, his soft policy is correct, the hard line policy of Japanese Democratic toward the U.S. may thus be loosen.

For the interest of USA, Congress members who frequently make irresponsible remarks on China's affairs should learn from president Obama's "bow" action in order to obtain the good will of the Chinese.

奥巴马的鞠躬值得！

2009年11月美国总统奥巴马访日期间向日本天皇90度深鞠躬，引起很多美国人的不满，认为美国总统如此歉躬的姿势和日皇又鞠躬又握手的举止显得有点卑躬屈膝，有降低国格之嫌？美国总统不应该对任何国家的领袖有如此低身下膝的举动！
奥巴马对日皇的特别深度鞠躬，不管是有意或无意，不但会引起其国民的反感，相信一些向来骄傲自大的西方人也有物伤其类的感受？不管如何，我相信奥巴马对日皇歉躬屈膝的姿态，是有其目的的，他可能为了其国家的利益，而牺牲自己的尊严，人民应该对他的苦心加以理解。
奥巴马总统一再指出，当今的世界单靠军事和经济的超强力量，美国已经不能单独领导这个世界了！他决心要实行“软外交政策”，人心的趋向更为重要。日本民主党能够胜选执政，因为日本选民支持他们的轻美重亚的政策，民主党许诺人民当选后要和美国重新谈判驻军问题，在国际外交方面要有自主权，民主党提倡的东亚共同体，也说明不欢迎美国参与。因此聪明的奥巴马总统为了要使民主党能够回心转意，继续与美国结盟，首先必须争取日本选民对美国的好感而对日皇表示特别尊敬就是对症下药的好办法，因为大部分日本人民对日皇仍是忠心耿耿的。
日本一个网民这样写道：“奥巴马总统对日皇如此尊敬的态度是以前任何美国总统所做不到的，他的亲切举止使我感觉很好……”
从日本人民对奥巴马总统的好评就可以知道他的“软外交政策”是对的，他牺牲的尊严是有代价的，日本民主党轻美的政策可能因此而有所松动？
美国国会一些经常对中国国情说三道四的议员，应该学习奥巴马总统的“鞠躬”动作，才能获得中国人的好感。
