Take a Bow
I had a thought regarding The One's recent deep bow to the Japanese Emperor. I think it was done on purpose. I think it was cover.
When The One bowed to the Saudi King I think it was instinct. I think he bowed from the heart.
That action certainly got enough coverage, and was debated enough that The One and his people had to be aware of the fact that the American President does not bow to royalty. Anywhere. Ever. They had to have learned that the while the President not bowing is not a sign of disrespect to the royalty the President bowing is a sign of disrespect toward his office and the American people.
So why did he do it again? Why did he bow so deeply to the Japanese Emperor?
Because now the issue is The One bowing, not The One bowing to the Saudi King.

I don't think the second bow had a correlation to the first because while your logic makes sense, the first bow didn't exactly hurt Obama greatly in terms of support or numbers. It was essentially forgotten until the Japan bow as even people who don't support him were focusing more on the other issues at hand, which are arguably [and in my opinion definitely] a lot more important.

But you can't discount the narcissist factor. Whatever The One does seems to be about The One.
