O-bow-ma Finds Someone To Bow To In Copenhagen

Check out the video. After his brief, listless and cliché-ridden speech in Copenhagen ["time for action, not words," "we should live in the future, not the past"] that aired live on Morning Joe today, Pres. Obama makes the hand-shaking rounds on the podium.
He continues the glad-handing off the podium, until he spots someone and breaks into . . . a bow [screen cap after the jump]. With all the mulling around, it's hard to determine exactly what's going on. It looks like he might have been exchanging bows with a man in the scrum surrounding him. But PBO's bow seemed to go beyond the perfunctory head-nod that in the circumstances surely would have satisfied, say, Japanese etiquette.

Not a bow. Just an exaggerated head nod.

It’s a bow, he didn’t check his swing. He broke his wrists.

Yes, I watched the video. It was nothing like the bow to the Saudi king and the Japanese emporer. He bowed at the waist for those two. This one is just an exaggerated head nod like a taller man would make to someone shorter. That’s my opinion and I’m stickin’ to it.

It does seem to be some sort of compulsion. No concern that he is supposed to be representing a Nation.

I judge it a confirmed bow by the usurper.

I’d say a small bow. Anyone know to who or what this time?
