If Obama chooses to prostrate himself before foreign royalty or heads of state, he should do it on his own behalf and not on behalf of this country. He is a total embarrassment.

A bow indicates the person being bowed to is more sovereign than the one doing the bowing Well, maybe that's exactly what he's trying to convey. Ever since he got into the White House, he has broken traditions and protocol reducing the status of the presidency. He's insulted our friends with Walmart gifts. He's refused to see friends of the country. He's refused to salute the flag during the anthem - the only one not to, not on just one occasion but several times. He's refused to put his hand over his heart or recite the Pledge. He refused to wear the American Flag in his lapel. He's either an incredible unfit idiot or he's doing it on purpose. Neither choice is good.

American leaders do not bow to royalty. The Reagans had more smarts than Barack. When Ronald and Nancy Reagan went to London, Nancy had to greet the Queen. It was traditional that female visitors curtsy to the Queen. Nancy Reagan did not. She said that the wife of the President does not curtsy to the Queen. Nancy Reagan would curtsy to the Queen, but not the President's wife. There is a difference. Something that apparently escapes Obama.
