i guess the ambiguity surrounding obama’s muslim faith has been shattered once and for all.

[rightwingextremist1776]

Ya....that’s the ticket...he’s smaller the the O....

What a disgrace this POS we have as a President is....a F’N disgrace.

[Parley Baer]

If not a bow then maybe bending over to kiss something on the King? Either way he is a loser.

[Buck W.]

It wasn’t a bow, he was wearing kneepads...

[Astronaut]

I’m surprised Hussein Obama didn’t crawl to the King and lick his boots.

[Domangart]

You don’t understand. The kine farted and zero went in for the smell.

[roses of sharon]

It was a genuflect, it was fluid, easy, natural and instinctive.

He was entirely comfortable with it.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Looks like this thing is finally going viral after five days. ‘Bout time, since we were all over it as soon as it happened. I sent the story link to Drudge myself, but not a peep out of him until today. Ugh!

[Galtoid]

An absolute disgrace!

[uncitizen]

Yes it was a bow. some kind of wierd bow, but definitely a bow.

[armymarinemom]

The video clearly shows that the King had his left hand free.

[Star Traveler]

This is where the phrase, “a picture is worth a thousand words” comes to mind...

[Leo58]

Obviously not a bow. Looks like he’s loosening up the old hamstrings prior to some one on one baskets with the king.

This attempt at an excuse might be better than, “I didn’t inhale”.

White House is denying that President Obama bowed to Saudi King Abdullah last week

Oh, okay. That video was fake.

[Bon mots]

Not a bow. Right.

[raybbr]

It was a genuflect, it was fluid, easy, natural and instinctive.

Exactly. A bow would have been at least tolerable. But, he just barely stopped himself from going down on one knee. I don't genuflect to anyone except God. Obama is an horrendous shame of an "American".

If he was reaching his arms would be outstretched. His arms are bent at 90 degree angles at his sides. Who keeps their arms bent at 90 degrees and bends over to shake hands?

[Political Junkie Too]

I think they're implying that Obama likes the two-hand clasp -- that is, Obama shakes your hand, and then puts his other hand over the shaken hand, usually as a sign of dominance. He either double-shakes, or he puts his other hand on the other person's free arm while shaking hands.

It's a power thing, but you kinda give up the power aspect when bowing during it.
