The article in the Brit paper you carefully selected your damning quote from was otherwise quite sympathetic to Obama, referring to both his newness to the job and the great pressure he is under. You should read your sources more carefully, TB, because we're starting to.
Matters of protocol are important, even more so when they can be perceived as insulting a rival or enemy, but they can be forgiven from a friend and ally. Especially when they are seen to be errors and not malice. Even Mr Bush's behavior in foreign countries was correctly teased by his enemies as ineptness, not as deliberate insults to foreign dignitaries.
Like I said, if this is the best you can come up with in these abysmal times, you are getting desparate. Even I have more substantive criticisms of Obama than his occasional gaffes.
