6. I guess if we want to keep driving our cars he has to do something
So to me a bow is far less offensive than holding hands or swapping spit with the guy.

24. I would rather have him shake hands with the King and say how do you do.
You know, like adults who don't know each other usually do.
What a bizarre choice--bow and scrape, or kiss?
Please. Americans do not bow to kings. Or curtsy to Queens.
Rather strange sentiments for those under "the big diversity umbrella." Seeing two men hold hands and kiss is disgusting? I guess it's only beautiful when they are in skimpy leather and bleeding from their "affectionate caresses?"
Or maybe they're just upset that Pres. Bush flowed through all the weird protocol with class, while Pres. Obama is managing to insult everyone and completely embarrass the US?
