Our President, Lower than a Highness

Socialist, Marxist, Ideologue. These are the usual epithets hurled our President's way. Is it possible, however, that he is none of the above, but instead ... a Royalist? He has a curious habit of bowing to Emperors and Kings, something American's (much less American President's) are not prone to do. The LA Times has helpfully included a file photo of then Vice President Cheney bow-lessly greeting the Japan Emperor. As the Times asks, how low is this President willing to go?
