Yes, in this case.
Who does have the privilege of bowing to him?
You or me or anyone else who is not a world leader and especially not someone who calls himself President of the United States.
So any world leader (an equal?) should not bow, but everyone else should. Is that right?
Could someone explain to me what the big deal is about Obama bowing to the leader of a different country? Why are my fellow FReepers upset about it?
We are Americans. We threw off the trappings of monarchies over two hundred years ago. All Americans stand free as citizens, and bow to no one.
Nancy Reagans bow and presentation to the Queen of England many years ago was an embarrassemnt. The Tool of the Current Regime has made two bows to heads of state. HE is a shame to all Americans.
