For those of us with selective memory:

He's putting a medal on him!

I can't vouch for IKE though.

And the last one, they're not bowing, they're just hard of hearing.

yeah, -1 cool point for IKE.

I used to work for a Korean company, so I've seen alot of courtesy bows, and the inferior bows lower...

The headline should have been, "The 2009 Peace Prize winner hosts dinner for the jailer of the 2010 Peace Prize winner."

(and kow tows to him)

See it as you will, but it is still a sign of submission; not really different than a knighting.

Well I prefer to see it realistically. The act of tilting the head forward is not a sign of submission unless it is actually intended to be one.

I mean by your reasoning a MoH recipient or a winning Olympic athlete is giving a sign of submission when they hang the medal around his neck. Not likely.

So, Obama bowing indicates submission? Or just respect? Or tradition?

It looks like we're picking nits here.

Yes, it is submission. For both the MoH recipient or the Olympic athlete, the act of lowering the head so that the award is placed around the neck is a symbolic recognition of the authority of the awarding body, be it the United States government or the IOC. The act of awarding merit in such a manner has been established as a gesture of submission since Medieval times, where the regent would award the recipient, who would have his head bowed. So, yes, the President of the United States being awarded in this manner by an actual regent is a sign of submission. This is opposed to being handed an award, which is symbolic of recognition among equals.

President Hu Jintao: "You pay now! Now!"

Vice President Joseph R. Biden: "What happened to you, China?"

President Barack H. Obama: "You used to be cool."

Premier Wen Jiabao: "Hey, China still cool! You pay later. Later!"
