“I don’t know...is it possible whoever wrote the caption got it wrong and just thought he was bowing? I mean it sure looks like he’s going down to pick something up. Even the guy to his right looks like he’s going in to do the same. And then you got those other guys all looking down at something. I sure hope that’s the case, if not we will all be the laughing stock.”
For those who claim he might not be bowing, here’s what the caption on the photo says:

US President Barack Obama (3rd L) bows to Saudi Arabia King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud (2nd R) as French President Nicolas Sarkozy (3rd R) and South Korean President Lee Myung -Bak (L) look on before a family picture with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II (not pictured) at Buckingham Palace, in London, on April 1, 2009. World leaders wrangled Wednesday on how a London summit could fix the global economy as demonstrators attacked a bank in an anti-capitalist riot in the British capital. Demonstrators laid siege to the Bank of England and smashed the windows of a nearby bank that has become a symbol of the financial crisis rescue carried out by the British government which will be discussed at Thursday’s Group of 20 summit in the city.
I would think they would know best what a picture that belong to them was of.

Well, I agree that it looks as if he’s going down. Searching for the zipper in Abdullah’s dress?
