Obama bows again — how will White House explain?

US President Barack Obama (L) bows as he shakes hands with Japanese Emperor Akihito (C) and as Empress Michiko (R) looks on upon Obama’s arrival at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on November 14, 2009. Billing himself America’s first Pacific president, Barack Obama on November 14 said the United States did not seek to contain China and promised a full US role in charting Asia’s future.
