And these are just a few men Bush kissed, did not even include the women. Funny I never heard any whining from the righties then, I wonder why.

First off, why do you sign each post with "Casper"? We know it's you.
Secondly, 0bama bowed inappropriately low, to a ceremonial figurehead of Japan, he was not the national leader of that country. 0bama also bowed while holding the guys hand, which is inappropriate and out of protocol. If you are going to bow in Japan, you either fold your arms across your chest and bow, or your arms go straight to your sides. hands going palms inward along your thighs. Again, even all other things ignored, 0bama bowed way too low, embarrassingly low, and subserviently low? Bush on the other hand gave a slight inclination of the head, which is a proper greeting, and not a gesture of subservience, or a display of inferior self worth.
BTW, if Bush bowed as low as 0bama did, and kissed a man, then we would have some really disgusting photos.
If it is traditional to kiss a person on both cheeks, then the manner in which Bush did so was appropriate. If 0bama kissed in greetings like he bows, he'd be French kissing.
No, they were in the U.S. Custom dictates the Chinese leader adhere to OUR customs, not his own, when in OUR country. Obama must've forgotten this, what a lousy host.
Ah I didn't know they were in the USA. That changes things then.
Actually, no American needs to bow to any foreign head of state because bowing shows subservience and no American citizen is subservient to any monarch or head of state.
You have to be a real insecure jingoistic ignoramus to believe that Obama following what amounts to the international protocol of diplomacy somehow weakens the US. It's called diplomatic relations. Use the Google machine and read a little bit before posting again. #TopicFail
Bush was civil. obama is acting like the world's lap dog. You can be civil w/out apologizing to everyone.
Indeed, you don't see other world leaders lowering their eyes submissively to Obama do you?
