Obama must have the bowing gene ...

What is going on? Now Obama is bowing to the Japanese emperor. First it was to some Saudi Arabian prince. This guy doesn't seem to get it. Americans are free men and women and we don't go around bowing to potentates, especially ones we had to fight a world war to lick. Give me a break!

Doesn't anyone give this character any direction on American protocol? It's just plain discouraging to see this. Between the apologizing and the bowing I'm not sure which is worse. They're both bad and both send entirely the wrong message.
