The bowing isn't the issue.. it's the depth of his bow. A bow of equal depth (i.e. a head nod) as that of the emporer would be an appropriate demonstration of respect for custom while not assuming a position of inferiority.
I believe thes faux pas happen because that our President does not believe in the United States' superiority or even it's equality to other countries so... why should he worry at all about the symbolism that his actions/gestures give. Right?
His actions repeatedly embarass and discredit the office of the President and out country.
