Brace yourself before clicking here.

Maybe that doesn't bother you, but it bothers the heck out of me.

I'm all for showing respect, but that goes just a bit too far.

    Sissy - A bow shows deference to a superior, not just "respect." As two heads of state, Obama and Akihito are equals. No one needs to be showing deference to the other, as a subject would to the ruler of his country. Also, as free and independent people, Americans need bow to no one.

    This has been one man's opinion.
