Obama bows down to Saudi King

Clarice Feldman

I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States.

bowing down to Islamist monarch

Thank you! That post helps very much... It reminds me of the way a friend of mine explains it. I’m going to print it out...for future reference. It’s hard for the avg joe to remember all of that ‘without’ a quick handy guide.

Thank you for your helpful posts too. I’m sending your comments along with combatboot’s comments to everyone on my email list. They can read them and hopefully become more enlightened, research and pass along.

How old are you? Do you remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? If it had never happened, would we be talking today about how Kennedy’s inexperience brought us to the brink of thermonuclear war?

If you think the significance of what Hussein did is lost on the Arab world, then you have not a single clue as to what you are talking about.

Maybe he did it through ignorance. Or arrogance. Maybe he didn’t take the time to have someone on his team read up on customs and protocols, maybe he didn’t listen to them, or maybe he just didn’t care. Or maybe he did it intentionally.

In all of your foreign policy experience (whatever that might be) have YOU EVER seen a President of the United States BOW like THAT? EVER?

Grow up and pay attention.

I’ve ignored your comments until now.

I don’t know what your age is, or your agenda is...but if it’s a non-issue to you, why are you here? At least you’re reading about it. That’s a plus. you are now one of the elightened ones.

Never forget 9-11, and never forget the BOW.,

"have YOU EVER seen a President of the United States BOW like THAT? EVER?"

BUMP to a great post and thread. This is hugh and serious. The Obambi has completely groveled before the Saudi King before the entire world, and he is a laughingstock or worse for anyone actually paying attention. That is DANGEROUS for America and the world.

To: kellynla

my frustration too Kelly

I have mailed it off to many in the media I mailed it off many times to fox and friends this morning

nothing
only Michelle and Rush, has even Hannity ran with this?

I in a way cannot blame the idiots who think he is a God , it is the media to inform with no bias about this and other gaffs he has done but instead media like the AP totally twists the story of his racist wife touching the Queen , well nearly manhandling her and then she stands right in front of the prince for a photo.

Surely the likes of Michelle know people at Fox and why couldn’t she ask them why they are not running wit it and why isn’t hannity doing the same seeing as he works there along with the question of why he obama did this but to no other leader and why did the media run with the greeting of Bush and the King for days, yes days they ran with it and nothing form them now about obama and his gaffs.

what was with the town hall meeting in bleeding France as well?

Guess what, I would prefer that no US President touch any Saudi POS, but there is a drastic, monumental difference between what President Bush did and what the Obamanation just did. In many cultures there are expressions of regard which are different from what we do in America, but which do not express subservience, submission, and fealty to another.

What Pres. Bush did was simply what is often done as a gesture of friendship between men in the Middle East, just as in Europe men often kiss on the cheek which would not be comfortable or common with American males. I would prefer that no US Pres. be so chummy with the Saudis, but Pres. Bush did not display submission, he did not grovel and declare himself subservient to King Abdullah, as Obambi did.

But the deep bow from the waist, down to the level of the Saudi King’s waist, is certainly recognized in almost any culture as a gesture of submission and subservience. Most definitely it is recognized as such in Arab and Muslim cultures, which is why the Saudi King told his own subjects in 2005 that no Muslim should bow before any other Muslim, not even royalty, but only before Allah.

Obamanation has degraded himself below the lowliest occupant of the Saudi Kingdom, in the eyes of the entire Muslim and Arab civilizations. If you think that won’t be noticed or won’t have any effect on how Obama is regarded in the world, I don’t want what you’re smoking.

Whether the liberal Mediascum takes up this issue or not (obviously they are trying to ignore it) is separate from whether this SHOULD be a big issue.
