As we discussed in class, Barack Obama has been at the center of some international controversy over the nature of his greeting bow which was caught on camera last week.
I personally feel that this controversy single handedly displays why the news media is often mistrusted. How can this be national news when there are so many more things that should make headlines over it? What about talking about unemployment? What about the recession?
Instead, we had to watch our president bow… and then do a long analysis on it!
If I were to weigh in on the situation, I would say to give the guy a break, he is a tall guy, and probably just thought it was nice to go down to eye level!
