I think he did just that. As a guilt response to make up for the bow to the Saudi King.
‘...As a guilt response to make up for the bow to the Saudi King...’
I can’t believe how cynical I have become....when I saw Mr. Obama’s bow to the Emperor of Japan, my first thought was....he did this purposefully so he won’t be criticized for bowing solely to the Saudi King. Now he can say.....I’ve bowed to others. imho, EVERYTHING done by Mr. Obama and his ‘advisors’, i.e. Axelrod, Emanuel, is orchestrated. They are master manipulators.
