The Colbert Report: President Obama & Bow-gate with China

Posted on April 19, 2010 by John

Back in November, I blogged about the controversy over President Obama bowing to the Japanese Emperor while visiting Japan. This past week President Obama invited world leaders on a nuclear summit and apparently bowed a little while shaking the hands of Chinese President Hu Jintao, causing a media frenzy by Fox News and other conservative news media outlets. Which is just plain ridiculous – Republican presidents have done the same with other world leaders. Get over bowing – President Obama is just being polite.
