This is typical Obama. Now that he has received heat for the bows in the past, he will do it even more out of spite for his critics and his country. He’s a petty narcissist.

This just shows how amateur this guy and his team is. Modern Chinese do not bow, unlike the Japanese. The appropriate greeting in Communist China is to shake hands. Perhaps to Obama, all Orientals look alike?

When you have no backbone this is inevitable. Give the man a break, he can’t help himself.

What is he doing, apologizing for USA sending the Flying Tigers to defend the Nationalist Government?
To: hiho hiho
Sadly, our alleged POTUS has crossed over into the “complete fool” zone. At this point, the world sees him as an idiot...

This is cover for his mistake. He has to bow to every foreign leader now so the WH can say, "see that's just his MO". Nothing subservient...that's just his manner.
He's going to look pretty stupid when he bows to Andrea Merkel or Stephen Harper.
Netanyahu? That should be rich.
To: BenLurkin
All my coworkers have taken to bowing to each other in the office, and when our clients see it thay are cracking up. This is the kind of thing that gets under the skin of most people and our Dear Leader has fast become the laughingstock of his generation.

Considering that the Nationalist Government now occupies Taiwan, that’s not a bad guess.

He’s still doing that bow handshake thing simulateously, found onbly on Planet Obama. Maybe he should throw in a curtsey.

No matter that he is destroying the Presidency along with the rest of the United States.
He has no idea what he is doing or he knows exactly what he is doing ...no in between.

The American public is fed up with BO Plenty’s kowtowing to foreign potentates. In Asia especially, kowtowing is a sign of weakness and submission.
To: Unam Sanctam
Right you are. We spent a couple months in China when my husband was there on a work assignment. I NEVER saw anyone bow!
And all he would have had to do is google Yahoo Answers to find out what the proper protocol in China is:
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090415155905AAWSMN0
posted answer to question should I bow in China:
No don’t bow! You’ll come off looking either ignorant or condescending. Chinese people shake hands when meeting someone for the first time, or meeting an acquaintance. For special occasions like festives, they take their left hand and make it into a fist, the right palm grabs the left fist, this is the Chinese greeting (you see it in old kungfu movies).
But for most casual situations, a hand shake is sufficient, and friendly. And most chinese people love it when you ask them questions about their culture, chinese culture is often misunderstood by foreigners, most chinese are hospitable people who would invite you over for tea and chat

I think it would be hilarious if the Republicans all started bowing (on camera, of course) to Obumbles , Reid, & Pelosi — big, exaggerated bows with smirks on their faces.
To: februus
All my coworkers have taken to bowing to each other in the office, and when our clients see it thay are cracking up. This is the kind of thing that gets under the skin of most people and our Dear Leader has fast become the laughingstock of his generation.I have been on the Zogby poll list for some years, and often one of the questions is "Are you ashamed of the President?" (especially prominent during the Bush years). For the first time, I recently answered "Yes" as Obama goes from being a fraud to being a buffoon. Hopefully this extreme bowing routine will catch on with the public and finish making a mockery of him.

I would refer to him as President Step-n-FetchIt if he were white. But the racial aspect is too much to overcome.
