Although I suppose the criticism is that Obama is grovelling to a foreign leader again. I might in fact share this criticism, but I can't make up my mind where cultural sensitivity ends and grovelling begins. There is something refreshing about typcial American culturally sensitivity, which contrary to public perception is something the Americans excell in.

Agreed, Americans are probably some of the most cultrually sensitive people on the planet.
