President Obama was NOT bowing.

[Kieran]

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Obama was merely reaching down to make up for a height differential.

Nice to hear the truth from this new administration. What a breath of fresh air.

Thank you very much for this BREAKING news story; one that absolutely NO ONE has even mentioned ANYWHERE. I'm thankful that you're around to break the news because, otherwise, I would have NEVER known this took place.
Thank you, Kieran. Thank you.

It's very hard to care. What happened to useful political discourse?

Height difference? you don't bend over like that to make up for height difference and you certainly don't bend over so much that you end up 'below' the guy you're trying to make the height up for and he was down there for 2 seconds and came back up still shaking hands.

He was clearly bowing.

I like Obama, he made a mistake, I can live with that but there's no reason for people to pretend he's doing something he's not.
