GASP.
OBAMA USED A CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE GREETING WHEN MEETING WITH A FOREIGN LEADER.
HOW DARE HE RESPECT JAPANESE CULTURE. DOESN'T HE KNOW THAT HE SHOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANY CULTURAL NORMS BUT AMERICA'S? OF COURSE, HE'S PRACTICALLY FOREIGN HIMSELF.
AMERICA DOES NOT DEFER AND IT DOES NOT RESPECT.
HOW CAN WE GET THOSE FOREIGNERS TO DO WHAT WE WANT UNLESS WE INTIMIDATE THEM WITH OUR SUPERIORNESS?
AMERICA IS EVERYTHING.
RWAR.
With apologies tosaint_archie for biting his style.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to with the "much ado about nothing" part. Since when is attempting to show cultural respect a bad thing? And why do we need to keep doing everything the past Presidents have done?
Stupid, stupid nitpicking and looking for reasons to hate the guy, like that birther bullshit.

Yes, very much so.
