Bow Down to the One You Serve

Barack Obama's repeated bows to foreign heads of state are well documented among the blogosphere. (They have to be documented somewhere, since the mainstream media won't pay any attention to them.) The latest incident got me thinking...

While disturbing, these bows are merely symbolic gestures, meant to reassure these heads of state that America under Democrat leadership will be submissive to the "international community". (Perhaps this is Obama's idea of "repairing America's damaged image throughout the world", which would certainly explain why he has spent more time overseas than any prior President on his repeated World Apology Tours.)

How do I know they're only symbolic? If they were indeed meant to indicate a true submission to foreign authority, then Obama would have listened to China's warning to curb the explosion in spending that he and the Democrats in Congress continue to seek. How ironic: This is one time when I may not mind it if the bows were more than symbolic. Then I realize that would mean that we would be completely subject to a Communist regime. While that may not be too different from the direction we're heading, at least Hu Jintao will admit to being a Communist.
