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?

So, by that logic, Obama should be kissing all the world leaders? Even Bush
didn't do that.

Personally, even if he did bow, it's very minor thing. It distracts from the
real issues of healthcare, the two wars, etc., but it's a useful tool for
the right, just as Bush's handholding and kissing was for the left.
