I looked through 40 pages of "President bowing" on Google image search, and this is the only image I could find of a US President doing so to a person. I don't think it is protocol for a President to bow to a religious figure, and certainly not to a Head of State.

Must have been a boring speech or whatever, judging from the guys in the background.

Well, if the Obamatrons want to say that Bush bowed to the Pope, this looks like a bow to me:

Totally comparable with the gaffe Clinton made though back in 1994 - a head bow, and slightly slumped shoulder, but not genuflecting, and bending at the waist. (There was a link earlier in the thread)
