Gestures I Am Not Upset About

Why are people getting so pissy about this bow? They talk about it as though by bowing, President Obama somehow put us at risk or signaled how weak we are.

Perhaps we would be better off addressing the source of our national insecurity (weak dollar, unpopular wars, petty bi-partisan feuding etc.) rather than suggest we must prop it up with firm handshakes and a stiff upper lip.

Thoughts?
