As appalled as I am at the President bowing to ANY foreign leader, I notice that at 6'-1" Obama towered over the 5'-4" Castro. If he was trying to look at him directly he'd probably try to get a little more on the same level, and as someone who is 6'-1" myself, I kind of understand that. I don't know about the Japanese leader that Obama bowed to, Japanese men tend to be short too, although that's no excuse for a bow unless it is a strictly ceremonial one and NOT directed at another leader. And that said, there was no excuse whatsoever for the time he bowed to that Saudi prince. Or ANY leader. The President of the United State bows to NO foreign leader, period.
Obama is a freakin' disgrace.
