Bowing 'Fiasco'= Fail.

Poor, poor Obama. It seems like he can't do anything right. Health care, the economy, education... and now bowing? According to the Texas Rainmaker and many other conservative minds out there, attempting a bow is just another thing Obama isn't doing right, this time with something dealing with foreign relations. The author intends to be sarcastic and humorous, but ultimately fails and looks rather immature and like he has some kind of chip on his shoulder concerning Mr. Obama. Perhaps he needs some training in foreign relations.

This guy decides to ignorantly call the Fort Hood shooter an Islamic terrorist; the term 'Islamic terrorist' is really overdone by now, and I'm tired of hearing it. I don't care if this guy was Muslim. I'm sure if he were Catholic, the word 'terrorist' wouldn't even be used. Already, I can't take this guy's credibility, even in humor, seriously. Then, he proceeds to call our president subservient and weak because he bowed to foreign politicians. I'm sorry, but why is this a bad thing? It seems like Obama is trying to display a willingness to respect the other's culture by at least attempting bow where appropriate. Lord knows it's a bit more of an effort to reach out compared to past presidents. America should remember that when Obama is somewhere foreign, different rules apply, and we have to play by them to ensure we maintain friendly relations, and possibly make even more along the way.
