Bow Wow

So, I read Doug’s take as well as John’s angle and followed it all with Justin’s comments and Jacob’s snark.

The bottom-line (as far as I’m concerned) is that this really is not a big deal. I understand the interest and argument posited by Doug and John, but I think that the answers to their questions are simple.

Did the President bow a little bit lower than was appropriate? It certainly looks like it.

Was he declaring his — and by default our — allegiance to the Emperor of Japan? Absolutely not.

The President bowed to a foreign dignitary, as Presidents do, and he simply limbo’d too low.

As Justin said:

I hope you don’t unsubscribe because of a couple posts rubbed you the wrong way. After all, that’s sort of the point of this site.

That is indeed the point of this site. Where else would you go for reasoned debate (usually) and civil discourse (most of the time)?
