Obama represents America
Akihito represents Japan

Obama is visiting Japan, he is the guest and Akihito is the host, so Obama should be the one that bows.

Why you think just because he bow it means America is subservent to japan?

America is now inferior because their president is black.

Technically, the President is a sovereign. According to the Japanese Constitution, the Emperor isn't a sovereign. But yea, it's just good manners to show your respect when you're the guest.

The President of the United States is not a monarch.

Also, most world leaders adopt the proper "commoner" etiquette when in the presence of royalty, even if they technically have little power.

Well he's on grounds that belong to the Emperor, so he's a guest. As a guest it's customary to bow.

It's no different from showing respect to the host when you go to someone's home. You would take off your shoes right?

Actually, Bush *slightly* bowed his head to accept a medal from King Abdullah once. It wasn't even a bow out of respect, just one so that the shortass sandnegroid could reach his head properly.

There was a media frenzy about it for MONTHS saying that it was showing subserviance to a muslim state, that he was encouraging terrorism, all kinds of shit.

So, you know, hush.

The government's also not supposed to be subject to religion

Dunno. I don't much care that Obama did, I just get all riled up when democrats pull the race/party card and say "Yeah, well, if a white guy/Bush did this you'd be kissing his ass for it!"

Then again, I'm not even a yank, so I don't know your customs. I was under the impression that the President was supposed to be a servant to the people, so I don't even get the whole "treat him like he's god" thing a lot of you guys have going on.
