Not true. Americans are not supposed to bow to a monarch, not just the president. Now I can understand bowing in Japan, since that's what they do to each other, but in that case he should have bowed not just to the Emperor. Furthermore, he bowed to the King Abdullah (though all of our presidents metaphorically bow to the Saudis). It is not a respect thing. It is un-American to show submission to a king of any sort. Should an American Sikh remove his turban when the national anthem plays because it's our custom? No, and no American, president or otherwise, should bow to a monarch. >By acting high and mighty, past presidents wanted to show and affirm US superiority.

Not true. Americans are not supposed to bow to a monarch, not just the president.

However, wasn't this type of stance that got the US into trouble diplomatically with the world? By bowing, President Obama, a symbol of the US and a superpower, showed grace, humility, and respect for Japanese culture. In turn, perhaps this has changed the Japanese perception of the US.

I like that we have a President who has the grace to meet with world leaders without having to actually say, "I'm the president of the motherfucking United States of America!" ...and besides Yielding requires the most discipline and wields the most power. Well, Simon says!
