Bowing, like holding hands, or kissing, is a sign of respect for each other's cultures. Notice the Emperor shook his hand while Obama bowed, a sign of mutual respect. Some Japanese would say the Emperor shouldn't shake anyone's hand, but they are not making a big deal of it. There are more important things to worry about.

I find it fascinating that when you people have nothing intelligent to say, you fall back on sexual innuendo. Most of you haven't gotten over adolescence, and it explains a lot.

A sign of respect for each other's cultures, no more, no less. Bowing low is also a sign of trust, ask your mother in law!!

Bowing low is a sign of trust and respect for one's elders. Public physical contact, such as shaking, or holding hands is looked down upon in Japan. I'm just saying both actions are respect for cultures other than our own. Stop attacking. Obama for such trivial things Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:36:25 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.50fd6792b83ac59fea414195ebeb58b3.2d1&show_article=1#IDComment43488655 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.50fd6792b83ac59fea414195ebeb58b3.2d1&show_article=1#IDComment43488378 The juvenile thoughts in this blog, my friend, are from the people who are making sexual innuendos about the President bowing low. We don't need these remarks in a supposedly open forum. You also should keep in mind that I am not "opening my mouth", OR "putting words to paper". Oh yes, I remember when Bush Sr. threw up on the PM of Japan. I know he was sick, but he should have "bowed out" gracefully. He caused us to lose face with the Japanese for a while .

Bowing low to an elder shows respect for their age and experience. Bowing low is also a sign of trust .

It was considered a sign of respect for their culture. It's the same for the bowing to the Emperor. Get Over It!!
