LA Times isn’t impressed with the messiah.
Body language can often say much more than spoken words. Especially in global diplomacy where form is so important and so closely studied.
Remember the first — and last — time President Obama was in Asia and all the kerfuffle over his bad form simultaneous bowing and handshaking with Japan’s Emperor Akihito? (Photos and video here). And the not quite so low bow he later gave in China? Or Michelle Obama‘s patronizing pat to the back of that little old lady called Queen Elizabeth?
So if this photo of Obama leaning way over to stress his point isn’t technically a bow, who do you think in this picture out of Copenhagen is doing the selling/pleading — China’s Wen Jiabao or America’s Democrat president?

Looks like he’s bragging.
That would be Tiger: “I was 8″ away, I thought, ‘no problem’ “.
Wen (thinking to himself): “Hmm, that’s not what Michelle told me.”
