Not to mentioned G.W.'s Dad vomited on the Prime Minister.

LOL, that's right! I remember seeing that video somewhere. Well my two cents on this was that Obama and his team are not very savvy when it comes to international affairs (he was too "busy" to attend the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall but did have time to try and sell Chicago for the Olympics...). Given that, Obama probably did what he thought was appropriate for the culture and went too far (literally...in that picture it looked as if he was searching for lost change).

I think a short bow and a handshake would have been fine as a recognition of both cultures way of greeting.

I enjoyed seeing everyone's opinion on this.

Thanks
