To nitpick a little, in a curtsy the torso is not or only slightly bent downward; it remains upright but is lowered by bending the knees significantly. What 0bama did was a full-fledged bow, no two ways about it.

That's probably true. But you have to admit that the "curtsy" thing is a) even more ridiculous and b) gets to the heart of how pathetically weak Obama presented himself.

It would have looked a LOT more like a curtsy if Obama had been wearing one of his dresses.
