While I would not spit in his face, this is lame. How hard is it to put your hand over your heart?
I was at a sporting event last Friday and was part of maybe 10% of the people there who put their hands over their hearts. wtf.

being bothered by that is understandable but i really hope you guys arent the guys to trip over this picture.
it was headlined on drudge and the comments left behind, i was dumbfounded by the ****load of people thats talking crap just because he bowed.
if you're pissed that your president bowed to the japanese emperor, please, shoot yourself.

Some people may want to spit in his face, I'd prefer to ask him his motivation for his actions. However, spitting in his face does seem like it'd take less effort.

The Emperor is clearly bowing in that picture. Albeit not as deep a bow.
When greeting an elder, the younger person is supposed to bow deeper and longer as a sign of respect.
Not sure what the deal is with the President not placing his hand over his heart during the pledge/anthem.

With that being said, Obama should at least learn to stand at attention if he's going to stray from the pack.
As for the bowing thing, I'll chalk that up to plane not knowing any better. Maybe he didn't want the emperor to feel so short?
