Sorry, why is whether Obama bowed to the Saudi King an issue again?

Or maybe they installed the teleprompter in the floor so it wouldn't be so obvious.

Hello,
It appears to me as if he did bow.
That being the case, I am not disturbed.
I sometimes find myself bowing to people. Just the other day I held a restaurant door open for an elderly couple, and when they hesitated to precede me, I gave a gentle bow and sweep of my arm to indicate that they should go ahead.

That's nice, Anthony, but you're not a head of state. There are rules for such situations, and I don't believe that any U.S. President has bowed to another head of state before.

Jeeeesh! Give our President a break will ya? He was not bowing to the Arab King. What happened was his State Dept.-issued "Islam Is A Religion Of Peace" policy reminder card fell out of his top pocket, and he was merely retrieving it off the floor. You people and your political attacks are just not being fair.

Just curious, but whats the official procedure for the President when dealing with the Japanese head of state?
Do they both bow at the equal level and at the same time, or do they not bow at all?

I believe the procedure in Japan is that they both shake hands, then they look up into the sky for a wayward North Korean nuclear warhead missile buzzing overhead. Then they duck and cover together, and whisper secret plans to obtain defense attorneys for captured Somali pirates.

I think in Japan it's the culture that everyone bows to each other. The bow is their handshake. But those who are inferior bow lower than those higher than themselves. So when an employee and boss bow to each other the employee would bow so his head is slightly below his boss's head. Heads of State, I imagine, would bow at equal heights.
