As a much younger man, even if he is president of the world's most powerful country, Obama is entirely proper in showing pointed respect for an elder counterpart. Moreover, Abdullah holds a variety of positions that deserve and require recognition-king; custodian of the holy mosques of Mecca and Medina; elder statesman of the Arab world; son of the founder of his country.
Lame. None of this trivia excuses or explains any US president doing obeisance to a foreign monarch. The lengths to which Obama's apologists will go to justify his actions are pathetic.

Ya know China is steep in culture and to show his respect Obama should kowtow before the Chinese President
