As someone correctly (albeit politically incorrectly) said this morning, Obama towers over most other world leaders who are only slightly taller than end tables. (If he looked straight ahead, he wouldn't meet their eyes. What appears to the jerkoffs to be "bowing" is just bending to exchange greetings with shorter people.) Anyone who's short (I am 5'2") who meets with a 6'5" person usually experiences that person bending down to my level.
But of course the whole critique is simply so fucking childish anyway. Was there such outrage when John Boehner planted a kiss on each cheek of Netanyahu when he was in town last week? That is an ARAB custom, not a Jewish one. Oops.
Wow! I didn't realize Obama was 6'5" tall!
I didn't say HE was. Obama is a little over 6'1". He is simply showing respect, something completely foreign to the cons on this board.
And these cons are exactly the type that give americans a negative stereotype of being arrogant. Welcome to the 21st century folks, its a global world, whether you like it or not, it does good to be respectful to other countries of the world
