The bowing thing is relevant....for two reasons.

1. The world apology tour was a very bad idea. Bowing to the King shows a weakness which the President of the US should never do.

2. It is, simply put, not the proper etiquette.

This is certainly not the most significant issue of the day but in the context of the trip and its results, it is certainly relevant and worthy of mention.

Obama has always been dogged by a reputation of being less than patriotic. Whether it's a refusal to properly salute the flag, wear a flag pin, hanging out with Ayers and Rev Wright, or his wife saying she has never been proud to be an American, this is his rep. Apologizing for America's "sins" (as defined by anti-American leftists) is just an extension of who he really is.
