It seems the US president Barack Obama remains under strict scrutiny from the right wing, the Democrats. Now there’s a lot of discussion because the picture entitled: Obama bows to Japanese Emperor. Check out the picture below:

Right-Wing news channel, Fox, claims the move was a “bad form”, because this greeting means weakness and deference. But well, in Japan the bow is a version of the handshake. I’ve seen it many times, whenever two Japanese businessmen meet they bow as salutation. This is what the Obama administration explained.

Does this sounds to you like another lame excuse to attack Obama? Ordo you think Barakc obama should have greeted Akihito the occidental way? Does it makes sense to keep talking about this picture?
