No, he's the one who got it right. Again, being from America does not mean everyone should kiss our ***. That assumption leads to the crappy foreign policy that we have endured for the last decade or so.

He bowed!! No one is above the US!! NO ONE!!! ZOMG!!!!! He BOWED!!!!! HOW DARE HE BOW!!!???!!

Where is that Onoz gif?

Where's you talking about actual foreign policy instead of a photo-op that has no significant impact on U.S./Japan relations?

Again, it doesn't matter that he bowed, it just makes him look silly is all. By the way, you don't have to bow to someone to not have them kiss your ***. You can do like every other dignitary and tream him as an equal.

To Monte, the manufactured photo-op is the news, and the foriegn policy.

Not only that, but not slavishly following the social diplomatic protocols of other countries is evidently expecting them to "kiss our red white and blue ***" and evidence of vaguely-defined accusations of rogue behavior by the U.S.

I believe it's shorthand for cowboy diplomacy.

Wiki wrote:
Cowboy diplomacy is a term used by critics to describe the resolution of international conflicts through brash risk-taking, intimidation, military deployment, or a combination of such tactics. It is criticized as stemming from an overly-simple, dichotomous world view. Overtly provocative phraseology typically centralizes the message, such as George W. Bush's "You're either with us or you're with the terrorists."

One of the earliest known applications of the term was in 1902, when it was used by the American press to describe U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policies. Roosevelt had at the time summarized his approach to international diplomacy as "Speak softly and carry a big stick",[1] an adage that was engraved on a bronze plaque on Donald Rumsfeld's office desk in the Pentagon and has set the modern precedent.[2]

Except, Obama's FP is no different that Bush's. He has maintained the same ideas, but has been less-from-Texas-yehaw.

I may or may not agree, but I was only addressing the whole "wtf is 'cowboyism'" question.
