Went to far how? Did you notice how short the Emperor is? Any higher it would look like he was going to kiss him. No matter how he did that bow it would look awkward. So he shouldn't have do it, because of the past and relationship of the two countries and bla bla bla, big whoop!

It's actually respectful to do that. Just because Americans don't bow, they freak out. I mean, I would bow too.
obviously you don't know the true meaning behind the bow.
You can also explain that to the massive amount of complaints received from Japanese citizens about how Obama did not bow correctly and thus insulted their country even more.
