I really wasn’t going to write about this again, mostly because I was convinced that the national media had let Barack Obama off the hook completely for his tradition- and protocol-breaking bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. However, Ben Smith reports that the White House has now been asked about it, thanks to a Washington Times editorial scolding Obama for the move — and that they’re denying it ever happened:
The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets. “It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

It was a BOW!! An act of obeisance from the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD to an Islamic king...HolyO wasn't 'picking something up off the floor', or bending because he's 'taller' than the king or any other excuse.
He BOWED. And there went the respect for the office of the President of the United States, right into the trash heap.

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman.

Be a little more convincing if they could decide which story that want to go with and stick with that one

“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, Yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Obama is definitely bowing, the King isn't 4 feet tall!...
