Why does it even matter at all? Obama was being polite and open to another culture. Just think of W. Bush who would have given Akihito a pat on the shoulder while shaking hands! Don't we have anything better to do than to nitpick at silly things like that? It shows goodwill and respect on Obama's part so that's all good.
