Perhaps we should buy him a shoe shine box. He could go around the world shining shoes to pay off foreign debt.

Emperor Akihito: "Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choochoo"?

Obama: "Track 29."

Emperor Akihito: "Boy, you can gimme a shine."

And about 100 other of us, including our good friend potlatch who got photos in order showing the Obama Bow was more or less unprecedented, and lots more who "viralized" this.
