Who stepped to the plate before the USA? Persoanl Freedom is a USA invention. We are the leaders of the free world...until Obama destroys it.
No, it's not like shaking hands. It's a sign of inferiority.

Sure Gonz, there was never personal freedom anywhere before the US. We are the leaders of ourselves. Other countries have their own leaders.
You don't seem very familiar with Japanese culture. Bowing can be a sign of respect or thanks or hospitality. When I go go to Japanese restaurants the owners often bow at me. I never think "Hey, he's inferior!".
Eisenhower and Nixon also bowed when meeting with foreign leaders.
This is ridiculous drama queen bullshit. It's pathetic and it just shows how petty some people can get trying to whine about Obama. Childish.

1776 really had nothing to do with using diplomacy with other countries in the future.
Nixon bowed to Akihito of Japan and Eisenhower bowed to Charles De Gaulle of France.

1) England prior to you.
2) Don't make me laugh - that's perhaps the most egocentric thing I've heard in decades! Your country isn't even 250 years old yet. Invented freedom

Is this our finest hour, or do we go with a whimper?
What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."

America wouldn't be what it is without France and many other nations.

First off, in jap culture, you keep eye contact for respect, muck like you might see in marshal arts. You don't go low unless your submitting, like Obama did. Moreover, you don't shake hands during a bow, maybe after, but traditionally you don't touch during the greeting at all.
Seems your restaurant owner repsects you for the money your going to pay him, maybe he submits
So why didn't Obama bow to the Queen of England?
Obama's worldwide apologies tour continues.

"Japanese business culture remains quite formal. It is usual to offer your hand
in greeting whilst giving a slight bow with the head."

"There are three kinds of bows: the first is just about five degrees and is a greeting for friends; the second is about 10 degrees and is for a boss or senior in business; but the third one is at a full 15 degrees and is reserved for heads of state or The Emperor.
Obama's 15 degree bow to The Emperor of Japan was correct."
