<<<Obama heads to Egypt [to] bow to a dictator. . >>>

That is a distortion of reality.

Obama is the head of state of the most powerful state in the world.

Obama is personally the most popular and respected head of state in the world.

To suggest that Obama is in any way not in a position of power and somehow has to behave in a subservient way is delusional - to put it mildly. Much harsher language to characterize the motivation behind those words would clearly be appropriate.
