** FOR USE AS DESIRED, YEAR END PHOTOS ** FILE - In this April 1, 2009, file photo US President Barack Obama, center, back to camera, greets King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, center, before the official G20 leaders group photo at London's Buckingham Palace. Obama's awkward greeting with Japanese Emperor Akihito on Nov. 14, 2009 - a bow mixed with handshake - is not the first time the president, a Democrat in office less than a year, has been criticized for his greeting of a foreign leader: critics accused him of genuflecting to Abdullah at the G-20 summit.
