Considering how I thought this was already a typical practice, and since Obama haters just seem to come up with anything to throw against him, this news article struck me as extremely aggravating, you could even say quite pathetic. You’d think that when two world leaders meet, they show respect to each other by obeying each others’ customs. Of course that would be the logical thing to do. So because Obama bowed to the Japanese leader, he riles up seemingly everyone and their mother because he “didn’t keep the strength of the United States but bent down to an emperor”, if I recall what the article quoted partially.
