But most of the blogs that I go to these days are gaycentric and Obama is considered quite negatively these days among the gays. The Advocate cover recently was beautiful. Instead of HOPE. It was NOPE with a question mark. Dissatisfaction with Obama is beyond the conservative blogosphere. Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann regularly castigate him. As does the Huffington post.
Yes, much can change in three years, but Obama is quickly losing the moderates and liberals. He is in danger of becoming a one-term president if he does not live up to his promises.

Why is the bowing a big deal?

That is your prerogative that you feel the need to bow as a sign of "respect".

The Emperor shook Obama's hand. That's a sign of respect in our culture.

Your reply shows some ignorance of Japanese protocol between the Emperor and foreigners.

If the protocol is "thou shalt not bow to the Emperor, foreign dude"
