Should Obama have bowed?

Lots of controversy over Obama bowing to a foreign leader.
Personal opinions?

Oh, for the love of humanity! >_< I swear, the things some folks turn into a huge controversey.
No, it wasn't effing wrong to bow. It shouldn't even be that huge of an issue. Seriously, what's wrong with us these days that this is what we get upset about?
Gah, people.

Anyone see Colbert last night hitting this issue dead on? What the fuck is a little bow compared to the complete Saudi ass kissing of the last 8 years? This "controversy" is almost as ridiculously absurd as fucking Hannity calling Obama a fascist.

Of course not, it's not doing any damage, he was just showing his respect.

Because America is the bestest most awesomest country in the world and our leader should never bow to anyone. That or just because Fox news is dumb, they seem to be the only ones making a big deal about it, other than people making fun of them for making a big deal out of it.

Actually, I do find it slightly annoying that he bowed. If America ever stood for anything worth the effort, it's the idea that no man - be he President or plumber, should be expected to bow to another, especially on account of an accident of birth. Bowing to royalty is taking a piss on the best part of the American spirit.
If the other dude had bowed back, it wouldn't have bothered me. Then it would be like shaking hands - a showing of mutual respect.

This is the stupidest fucking poll ever. Bowing?! Honestly?
Would anybody really have given a shit if O'Reilly hadn't opened his mouth to bitch at it? That motherfucker has his lines all wrong. When Bush was the Prez, he said "Stick by your President, show him respect, stand by his decisions because he's the President and therefor he knows what's best". Now that Obama is Prez he's backtracked on everything he's ever said and he's getting SO fucking JUVENILE that he's coming up with stupid shit like this to complain about.
Fuck you Bill O'Reilly, fuck you Fox News, and fuck you Republicans.

Everytime someone says "Bill O'Reilly", I think of that book I saw in the book store, "Sweet Jesus I Hate Bill O'Reilly".
And apparently their website has "Sweet Jesus I Hate Bill O'Reilly" t-shirts. None in black though.

I think he should have cut the foreign leader's head off with a sword and raise it into the air and scream really loud like some crazed barbarian.

I would love that. The right always makes him seem so horrible, I'd love to see him do something just bat shit nuts and see them totally dumbfounded.
