OMGWTF! OBAMA MUST BE A TERRORIST!!!
Okay dudes, are you serious? He was trying to be polite to the Japanese Emperor; bowing is a common custom in Japan, as most of you know. So don’t go thinking that the president of America is not on our side. My only critiques on the matter are that, as a member of equal, if not more power, he probably shouldn’t bow so low. Add within the awkward hand shake and you have a major ice-builder. However, you have got to cut him a little slack; he’s a gaijin (foreigner to Japan), and most likely not an Otaku, you can’t blame him for being a little unfamiliar with the culture and it’s salutations.
