It does look like a sign of weakness to me. It looks like respect. There are only two emotions: love and fear. What are you afraid of?

THAT'S how the rest of the world's leaders greet the same guy.

Notice the difference?

Love, fear...cram it.

Obama sends letter to Philippine Muslim rebel leader
By DPA - Nov 14, 2009, 3:44 GMT

Manila - US President Barack Obama has sent a letter to the leader of the main Muslim rebel group in the Philippines, a guerrilla official said Saturday.

The letter to Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chairman Murad Ibrahim was delivered to rebel peace negotiators by Deputy Assistant State Secretary Scot Marciel, according to Muhammad Ameen, chairman of the MILF secretariat.

Ameen said Marciel and two other US diplomats met MILF peace negotiators headed by Mohagher Iqbal on November 6.

Ameen did not disclose the contents of the letter but said it was a response to a letter Murad sent to Obama after he won the election last year.

On Friday, US State Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton urged the Philippine government and the MILF to conclude a peace deal before the end of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's term next year.

The rebel group was instrumental in the safe release on Thursday of kidnapped Columban missionary Michael Sinnott, who was held captive for over a month by gunmen in the strife-torn southern region of Mindanao.

The MILF is the largest of the Muslim rebel groups fighting for an independent Islamic state in Mindanao. It first entered into peace talks the government in 1997."

Never thought I would see Hillary Clinton and MILF in the same sentence.

It seems most of the world's leaders think Obama should bow to them. It just seems so strange that he should agree with them. And no one is screaming racism about this?

He bows to Nancy Pelosi all the time, why shouldn't he bow to a figure head emporer. He just likes to bow. I sure do miss Ronald Reagan.

You respect the rank (position) not the man. Anyone out there recognize that philosophy?

I did not vote for President Obama, but some of you are getting awful petty.

My gawd! How long will this nation continue to abide this "showing other nations' leaders respect" debacle? Isn't it about time he shows someone the hand, does a face palm, or maybe even a roundhouse kick?

BTW, I also hear he uses indoor plumbing. What a high-falutin' snob! Next thing you know, drinking likker from something other than a mason jar will be a regular thing with this mincing nancy-boy!

If is going to bow why not do it the right way. When bowing in Japan one must always look the other person in the eyes.

If you can't understand this post, then watch what other leaders, including several from Asia do in the video DMV linked above:

"Japan expert to ABC: Yes, Obama’s bow made him look like an idiot
POSTED AT 7:45 PM ON NOVEMBER 15, 2009

So much of an idiot, in fact, that according to Tapper’s source, at least one Japanese paper isn’t running the photo out of embarrassment. This tool actually groveled himself into a minor international incident.

The good news for O-bots? It wasn’t unprecedented. Nixon evidently made a modest bow to Hirohito in the early 70s. The bad news?

“Obama’s handshake/forward lurch was so jarring and inappropriate it recalls Bush’s back-rub of Merkel.

“Kyodo News is running his appropriate and reciprocated nod and shake with the Empress, certainly to show the president as dignified, and not in the form of a first year English teacher trying to impress with Karate Kid-level knowledge of Japanese customs.

“The bow as he performed did not just display weakness in Red State terms, but evoked weakness in Japanese terms….The last thing the Japanese want or need is a weak looking American president and, again, in all ways, he unintentionally played that part.

A senior White House official (read: Axelrod or Emanuel) assured Politico this morning that no Japanese observers “would say anything other than that he enhanced both the position and the status of the U.S., relative to Japan.” Consider that spin exploded, thanks to ABC.

And yet, having said that, I’m not convinced that the “groveling” explanation for the bow is necessarily the correct one. For one thing, his protocol office is famously run by imbeciles. They may very well have simply given him bum advice: “Be sure to hunch way the hell over and stare at the ground. They all do it that way.” For another thing, and somewhat notably, Japan isn’t a stop on The One’s world apology tour. It could have been, but he declined the opportunity to turn it into one. So why give the emperor the full Hopenchange treatment, then? Is it just … reflex at this point? Or is it actually a sign of how keenly aware Obama is of the messianic hype that follows him around the world? Maybe he figured that, as the newly anointed global Jesus, he’d better go out of his way to show deference to Japan’s divine ruler lest it seem like he was “pulling rank.” Think of it as “Superman II,” if the main characters had landed on Earth convinced that they had to “rebuild Krypton’s relationships” with the universe. In that case, you don’t kneel before Zod; Zod kneels before you."
