The U.S Bows

Short and sweet today. The question is whether or not the President of the United States should bow in the presence of another world leader. The answer is undeniably no. The office of the President of the United States is bigger than the person who holds the office. There is no higher symbol of what we as a nation stand for in all the world. As such, it denigrates an entire nation and her people when our leader chooses to bow before another suggesting inferiority or deferment. I might be able to bless this off as a mistake by an man who lacks the experience to actually hold this office except it's not the first time he has done it. I guarantee you every military man in our armed forces winces at this sight. To show even the slightest weakness is the largest of mistakes.
