It's not often i feel sorry for a politician, but i think with Obama it's a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't.
He'd have been slated whatever he did. (And no i'm not a fan)

How can you compare Bush dancing and trying to open a locked door, to Obama nearly giving the Japanesse 2 seconds of head?

One could only imagine the type of groveling that went on behind closed doors in Beijing.
You do know that Beijing is in China right, not Japan. They were at the imperial palace which is in Tokyo.
Just thought someone out to point it out.
