Hey, Dick? STFU:

When the President of the United States bows to a foreign leader, our friends and allies don't expect it and our adversaries perceive it as a sign of weakness. I think it's fundamentally harmful and it shows in my mind that this is a guy, a president, who would bow, for example, who doesn't fully understand or have the same perception of the U.S. role in the world that I think most Americans have...

What I see in President Obama is somebody who bows before foreign leaders and spends his trips aboard primarily apologizing for U.S. behavior. I find that very upsetting.

And leaving aside the point made by Greg Sargent at The Plum Line that Cheney served under two former presidents who bowed to foreign leaders, does Dick really think he should be the go-to guy on matters of protocol?
