[quote=JIMMYB,382040]During his first formal visit to Japan, Obama made a deep bow to Japan's emperor. Well, he might just show his respect to the emperor but some people interpreted this in another way.

1. The New York Times wrote "an obsequent president and the emperor of Japan."

2. Andrew Malcolm, in a blog on The Los Angeles Times Web site, asks: "How low will the new American president go for the world's royalty?"

And here are some readers' comments:

1.Mitch wrote: Obama to Emperor of Japan: “May I shine your shoes, Sir?”
2.Plain Jane wrote: Obama WASN’T bowing – He SAW a Japanese Yen on the floor and went to pick it up because it might be Worth More Than Our Dollar!
3.Veteran wrote: Was that before or after he appologized for World War 2?
4.bmcc wrote: Palin would have winked at him. You betcha!
5.Maripo wrote: I’m surprised he didn’t curtsy.
