Bowing to foreign royalty has been a no-no for American presidents for
over 200 years. Obama didn't bow to the Japanese emperor on November 14,
2009; he was merely checking because the emperor told him his fly was open!


I wonder what Hairy, Nom=de-Plump, et al will post to justify the bow.
Don't really care since they are banished from my computer.


It must be nice to be totally happy with being ignorant of foreign
customs, where you can criticize Obama for not being as ignorant as you are.

Typical, unfortunately.

Doesn't matter. Not ONE of them said a damned thing when Bush did his
usual foreign customs screw ups.

Kissing cheeks and holding hands is different from bowing and showing
subservience.

If you are going to bow to one monarch shouldn't you bow to all of them?
