Barack sometimes acts like a kid in a candy store

That is not the precedent actually. A visitor does not have to show deference of that extreme nature.

[sycip2]

So when any representative of any nation goes to another nation, the visiting representative should pay the respects that is accepted in that culture. Be it Shaking hands giving high fives or just bowing. Its called being a good representative of the people of the United State's . Its the 21st century try and to join us in the new century.

I served in the Military and we are taught to respect leadership.

Yea, bowing and shaking hands are just the same.

And your knowledge of World War 2 is abysmal, you only expose yourself as an idiot, Japan did to China what the Nazi's did to the Jews and the Pols. They had to be defeated so as to prevent them as a nation destroying their neighbors. There are tens of of books in the library you should be checking out right now, it is pretty pitiful that you would even say what you did.

Rush works very closely non white guys rather well, is far more knowledgeable than you, and is actually rather neat. So grow up ;)

[chukmaty]

Yea, Presidents should not be bowing deeply to Kings or Shinto deities, it is simply improper.

CBS is overdoing it with the ads. did huckabee get fat? Get over the bow, he was showing respect. big deal.

[jpmorgan187]

Notice how Huckabee quickly backed away from criticizing Rush. Lol. Rush Limbaugh; the racist, ignorant, slob is the true leader of the Republicans!

katie is psycho

Bowing is a sign of respect. As is shaking somebody's hand. And the Pearl Harbor comment. Get over yourself. That was a different generation. The Japanese attacked Basses in Pearl Harbor. The U.S. bombed cities in Japan and killed over a million people, Men Women and Children. We forgave the Japanese for Pearl Harbor and they forgave us for dropping Bombs and killing a million innocent people.
