A person of Barack Obama’s status will have to be very careful on what he does. Even sometime when this person is doing something that is not wrong but the media or the people at large will still make some criticism. For instance, Barack Obama took a deep bow when greeting Emperor Akihito of Japan a couple of days ago. Would you think that is a problem? Or we can just perceive that he is just a young man greeting a much older person following the Japanese custom by doing a deep bow?
Barack Obama is no ordinary person as he represents the people of United States. Hence, a lot of Americans will think that taking a deep bow is as though their president had disgraced his countrymen. To me, it is just a very nice man following Japanese culture of bowing to an elderly man while greeting him.
