I rather preferred Bush 41's bow over there. At least it included a genuine vomit.

He must think this is a great sign of respect? It shows me how little he thinks of himself and his position. Imo he has an inferiority complex.

Ready for the spin? What you didn't see is the 10,000 yen note that the emperor dropped...<g>

Naivete is the strongest thing in Obamas' administration and this is just one more display of it. In Japan there's a hierarchy when in comes to bowing, equals need only bow to the same level but they're not equal one being actual and the other symbolic. Obamas' obsequiousness only made the emperor uneasy.
