People, this is beyond the issue of respect nor deferment. The critics, mostly republicans, are trying to get every single dirt they can on my president. They just want his 4-year presidency to be a tumultuous one so come by 2012, re-election will be near impossible for him. This is not about him deferring to a foreign leader at all. In fact, the Japanese emperor doesn't even have the power anymore. True, they still have a huge influence, but power the have no longer. The emperor is more of a symbol now than anything else; much like Queen Elizabeth II of England. This is nothing but misleading propagandas to make American voters feel that their president is not standing up for them.

Americans are stupid, that's why they deserve to be bombed by Osama. Obama bowing is a sign of respect, but not submission. di man lang maisip ng mga tanga nilang critics

That's a sign of respect. I don't think that Obama's gesture should, in any way, be seen as degrading to the American people. Nakakatawa na issue na sa kanila yun.
