While Americans associate a man giving another man a kiss with being gay, in some other countries, it means something very different-- it's a gesture of friendship, and shows hospitality. The president is heterosexual (and he is married to the First Lady, Michelle Obama); but he knows that in certain countries, it is a custom to kiss people on the cheek, and this can include men kissing each other on the cheek, or even hugging. Since President Obama is a world traveler who knows people from many different countries, I am sure that at some point, he has kissed a man on the cheek or hugged him, as is the custom in that culture.
