Obama Bows to Saudi King

Considering how the media likes to make "catching" headline titles to draw you into and article... and considering I found this on Newsmax (which is by no measure "unbiased"), I really thought this was a play on words... until I watched the video. 

Obama, the leader of United States of America, bowed to the King... as if he were a mere subject of the monarch.  Obama didn't bow to Queen Elizabeth when he met her in England just days before, so why would he bow to the Saudi King? 

Here's the link with the write-up and the very short video.

Maybe he got mixed up? =)

I'm not sure what protocol is, but it doesn't look right.

Isnt this the same guy that held hands with George Bush?

This guy has had more action with American presidents than all the interns currently in the white house.

Nixon and Eisenhower both bowed foreign officials. Give it a rest.

Lori is there something going on with the president and interns we don't know about?
Lori F. Apr 8, 2009, 10:02pm EDT
You never know what goes on in the Oval office Charles...and of course that depends on what your definition of "is" is and whether you consider oral sex as real sex.

I doubt Bush ever bagged an intern....I doubt Bush ever bagged Mrs Bush while he was in office but you never know.

I would also say Clinton tried to nail anything without 3 legs...and Obama...well lets just say if I werent married and he wasnt married I would be on him like white on rice but I would have to stand in a very long line.

Hey Lori? Is it because he is black? =)

Oh f'r th' luvva..! STOP this! He didn't bow to anybody. He bent down and sat something on an end table. Watch the video again. He then straightens up and moves over TO the king. Sheesh! If you're gonna hyperventillate about this guy over EVERY damn move he makes for the next four years, you're gonna wind up with a permanent twitch.

Dad-Most of em allready have a twitch...

Chuck L., what video did you watch? LOL. That was a bow if I ever saw one. Actually more pronounced than in the video of him meeting the queen of England. The Lib spinmeisters are busy with this one. It ranks up there with Clintons "I didn't inhale".

I don't know protocol either. Hopefully he has someone on staff that does, though.

"He bent down and sat something on an end table."

What end table are you seeing there, Chuck? Watch it again when you're sober.

That is a good one though. Even his handlers didn't come up with that excuse. The best they could do was say that he was reaching down to shake his hand. lol

Hmm ... does the man have a little hand in his zipper?

"Obama didn't bow to Queen Elizabeth when he met her in England just days before, so why would he bow to the Saudi King?"

I don't know. He made it to a mosque in Turkey but he won't be going to visit Normandy when he's been invited to pay his respects with French President Nicholas Sarkozy . What's up with that?
Charles M. Apr 9, 2009, 4:10am EDT
He was demonstrating the latest dance craze. The Obama two step.
fancy c. Apr 9, 2009, 6:16am EDT
thx
Charles Temm JR Apr 9, 2009, 1:21pm EDT
He bowed and protocol has the American president doing that to no one. A nod of the head is the most allowed but since we are trying to get the wold to forgive us for everything they are not, well maybe its the new standard.

an American should bow to no one and especially an american president should never bow to anyone..............it sickens me to think of BO bowing to a ruler of another country..... i love my father with every fiber of my being but i am glad he is not alive to see what is happening to this country......
TINA s. Apr 10, 2009, 9:49am EDT
thanks

Obama bowed and bowed deeply to the Saudi king.
Obama visited the Blue Mosque in Turkey.
Obama's first interview as president was given to arab television,Al Arabiya.
Obama DID NOT visit the cemetary in Normandy during his visit to France to honor America's heroes. This man insults us in words and actions every waking moment he is president. We need a real president,not this empty suit, anti-american pariah.

hmm.... and there is some funny conversation going on here haha

I have been a supporter of Barack Obama since slightly after the primary where I reluctantly voted for Hilary Clinton. I felt good about it until this f-ed up stunt. This really angers me alot and I have lost respect for Obama that he is going to have to regain from me if he ever wants my vote again.

The regular barbaric news stories of uncivilized behavior of this this culture are legion and the Arab radicals in general, and their largest financial backer - Saudi Arabia - are not a country that deserved to have any of their protocols whatever they are observed and respected in my opinion.

Until this is explained or reversed Obama is in the doghouse with me. Why not just put on a rubber nose and stamp clown on his head.
