When you spew your opinion of entrire societies with unfounded negative traits then people are going to get defensive.
Just because you are part of one of those societies doesn't make this any less of a bigotted statement.

That is what my comment was aimed at.

Then take those opinions up with the comment opinion blog it came from. This is WHY there is protocol for chiefs of state.

The critics are over-reacting as always.

You just don't seem to see that he shouldn't have done it at all.

You obviously didn't read the fox news article. And the original article in this thread that sourced fox news article was also talking about reactions in blogs.

Its also foolish to put all nations on a level platform.
??? No... he shouldn't have bowed...
As a head of state it is incorrect protocol. He is representing all Americans, not as visitor Obama.
Well you can aim it at me because I think he should of followed international chief of state protocol and it is ridiculous for this President to try to play Bah Weep grahna weep nini bom when he is representing a large nation. Its incompatible with his position. Just as if the head of state of Niger met the US president would they do their native greeting because it is interpretted differently in other societies.

This last statement has no foundation and comes across as just blind anger. I think you just trying to light a flame now.
