Obama's Enemies List: A Growing List of Obama's Enemies

Are we seeing cultural sensitivity toward leaders of other nations …

or has President Obama forgotten that heads of state don’t bow to each other?

HotAir.com chooses the latter:

For those arguing that such a policy merely propagates American arrogance and that Obama wants to “change perceptions,” this video by the UConn College Republicans points out the second problem.  Heads of state do not bow and show obeisance to one another, regardless of whether either one is an American President.  The UConn group reviews 47 different greetings to Emperor Akihito and various heads of state, including a few from fellow Pacific Rim countries with similarcultural sensitivities, and doesn’t find a bow among them:

I can’t wait to see the Left chastising these world leaders for their cultural insensitivity.  They’d better include Akihito in that condemnation, too.  Asyesterday’s video clearly showed, Akihito knew better than to return Obama’s bow.

Maybe some of those rushing to offer apologias for bows should have taken their cue from the White House last April, when they attempted to deny that Obama had bowed to Saudi King Abdullah at all.

On a humorous note, S. Weasel shows how President Obama demonstrates a new era of humorous global information exchange.
