Why I Do Not Support Barack Obama

I am maintaining a running list of reasons why I do not support Barack Obama. This list will be updated on a regular basis, and it is a free resource that I encourage you to share with others. You can access the list from the permanent banner I have placed at the top of every page on the blog.

You don't support Obama because he bowed to a Japanese person?

Can you please explain your reasoning for this?

Sure. Thanks for asking.

American Presidents don't bow to foreign leaders. As the Head of State, he represents the American republic, which bows to no king. It is a sign of submission and deference. Respect can be paid in other ways.

My reasons for not supporting this president extend far beyond him bowing to the Japanese emperor, and even to the Saudi king. Those incidents fit into a larger pattern of behavior exhibited by him in regards to his foreign policy. He is an embarrassment to this country, for all the reasons I mentioned, not just for the one you took issue with.
