George W. Bush would never have done such a thing.

Except that Obama accompanied his with appeasement.

Whom have we appeased, and how?

That George Bush photo doesn't look like he's "bowing". It looks like he's looking down at something (and Laura is looking at it too).

And if Obama is "bowing" in the first photo, it's a really poor "bow". It looks like he's stumbling. He's doing much better in the second photo.

It's just ridiculous to cherry-pick a few photos and say that Obama is somehow unduly deferential to foreign leaders. Reminds me of the RfM thread about how Mormons slurp their soup--desperate and petty.

Because Romney is sooooo much better...


He'd already questioned the preparedness of Britain to host the Olympic Games and today Mitt Romney added to the gaffe-count of his UK visit by appearing to forget Ed Miliband's name during a press conference.

Speculation on the social networking site Twitter was centered on whether Mr Romney had forgotten the Labour leader's name - or didn't in fact know it in the first place.

At a press conference the possible-future-president of the United States referred to Ed Miliband as 'Mr Leader'.

Romney said: "Like you, Mr Leader, I look forward to our conversations this morning ... and recognise, of course, the unique relationship that exists between our nations, our commitment to common values, our commitment to peace in the world and our desire to see a stronger and growing economy."
