Is it just me or does this disturb anyone else. A nation that started by the famous words "All men are created equal," have a President bow to a foreign leader. This isn't in Japan or eastern Asia where bowing is a customary sign of respect and both parties do it, this is in the middle east where it is a sign of power. This Great Country was founded by men that believed that no one should ever bow to the other. Men and women have fought and died for the right to be equal you cant throw it all away.
Bowing is a show of weakness, it is telling the other person that you are not on the same level. I wonder how this photo is viewed in the middle east right now. Showing that we have a weak president because he is bowing to one of theirs.
Next time Obama just shake the man's hand. The only time that I ever want to see you bow to another man is in the Far East.
