First from Flopping Aces
They say C-SPAN will last forever. Naked Emperor News posted a flashback YouTube video showing then minority house speaker Pelosi proclaiming ‘absolute outrage’ over the Republican leadership not allowing members of Congress three days to read a bill.
Money Quote from Pelosi: “A vote for the motion to recommit, is a vote for members to be able to read a bill before they vote on it. IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH?”
Hypocrisy thy name is Democrat.

Bow Wow! Obama Does it Again
First the Saudi King and now the Japanese Emperor! I’m surprised Obama didn’t apologize for the U.S. winning WW2!
Obama bows to Emperor Akihito during trip to Japan Saturday.
From the L.A. Times: “Very low bows like this are a sign of great respect and deference to a superior.”Hot Air has the video.
We’re also reminded of the Obama bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Later the White House denied that Obama had bowed even though it was obvious they were lying.
How did MacArthur treat Hirohito?
Who is the “superior” in this photo?
Is Obama totally oblivious to the protocol here? A head of state, such as the U.S. President does not bow to another head of state! Unless of course he sees himself or his country as inferior!
Update:
Which he does: Remember this?
Barack Hussein Obama refuses to salute US flag
So you will bow to the Emperor but not salute your own flag. Is it any wonder that Obama declined to defend US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Update II:
Obama Declines to Defend US Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
President Obama from Japan today unable to give historical context to the A-Bomb and whether it was the right thing to do for the U.S. to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why? Because to Obama, victory is a dirty word.
REPORTER: What is your understanding of the historical meaning of the A bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Do you think it was the right decision?
OBAMA: Now obviously Japan has unique perspective on the issue of nuclear weapons as a consequence of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You had one more question… And I’m not sure I remember it. What it North Korea?
REPORTER: No, it was that did you believe that the U.S. dropped the bomb..
OBAMA: No, no, no, there were sets of questions…out asked about… North Korea?
REPORTER: Yes, North Korea.
Change the subject strategy is it?
During the campaign, Obama referred to “the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor” and Japan’s Emperor signing a surrender document to the Americans. Both of course, historically incorrect.
In my previous entry highlighting George W. Bush’s speech on human freedom, he referred time and time again to history, and how human courage and solidarity changed the future. Obama in contrast seems to detest history, looking only forward to hope and change, never looking back to see what can be learned.
You know, those who don’t learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them.
