Can't post the article "due to copyright complaint". At the link, an article in an Australian daily about the Obama kowtow. The article points out that the US MSM isn't touching this.

Of course, they have to find an American etiquette expert that can't find anything wrong with what Barry did - 'natch. She says...

""I bowed, wore the attire, ate the figs as a sign of respect when I was in Saudi.

Of course, when this woman was in Saudi Arabia, I'm fairly confident she wasn't President of the United States.

The only people who criticize Obama in the piece are dismissed as "conservative bloggers". How convenient.

We have witnessed Hussein’s first display of humility, and it was before a muslim dictator.

American etiquette expert Gloria Starr was just another female piece of chattel in the KSA. Zero symbolically and literally gave the United States of America an inferior position to Islam, and the KSA.

Well then we will have to be the news!

We need to all pass this video around. Take some copies of the picture and leave them around public places. Keep googling “Obama bows to Saudi King” lets make it appear over and over....Hit the comments on youtube...Obama computer staffers are taking over and spinning this to a Respect thing. Freepers need to take action

"Notice it is the Sydney Morning Herald - The ‎American MSM?"

Have you noticed that any criticism of Barry is explained away as rantings from the "American far right"? Simply put, there's nothing critical of Barack Obama, ever, anywhere at anytime.

And, I'll take it a step further, Nancy Pelosi (who enjoys a national approval rating below that of MSM-pariah Rush Limbaugh) is never asked about her approval rating. By contrast, how many time during Bush press conferences the last two years did he have to field questions about his unpopularity?

You must be right, because I have Googled the world, and this kowtow does not appear anywhere in any mainstream media outlet save for this lone milquetoast article in the Sydney Morning Herald. The MSM knows this must be really bad so assiduous are they in covering it up.

Notice more the SMH is the most leftward Sydney daily, and the second most leftward of the Australian metropolitan dailies.

The video clearly indicates that this gesture was instinctively performed. He can't speak off-teleprompter without stumbling and tripping and sputtering an "Uh" every other word, but he sure can bow mellifluously to the custodian of Islam's most holy places.

I wonder if this is the "red flag" moment akin to the SOL waving a red flag three weeks before 911. Last night I was watching a WWII program that discussed Operation Mincemeat. The bow reminds me of the phrase "Mincemeat swallowed whole". Interesting that the corpse was the man who never was.
