Did An American President Actually Bow Before A Saudi King?

One picture is worth a thousand words:
And here's the link to the video, so you can watch the whole thing over and over while screaming, "THIS IS YOUR IDEA OF RESTORING AMERICAN PRESTIGE?"
It didn't take long before the official denial: "Barack Obama did not show subservient fealty to that king, Mr. Abdullah..."
Barack Obama's handler's may be right. At least technically.
From Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language:
"Curtsy: a bow by women in recognition or respect, consisting of bending the knees and lowering the body."
Let's see: bent knees - check. Lowered body - check. Woman? Well, that's really pretty darned subjective, given Obama being our first true metrosexual president, and all. Obama didn't bow down before Saudi King Abdullah, contrary to the accusations by "the vast, right-wing conspiracy." He curtsied, which is the new metrosexual version of "a bow by any other name would smell as submissive."
Many are saying Obama bowing down before the Saudi king shows weakness. Like everyone didn't already know Barack Obama was weak...
I suppose we can look to the bright side of all this: by figuratively placing himself - and therefore the United States of America - under the rule of Saudi Arabia, maybe this president won't have any shoes thrown at him by angry Muslims.

In the pic, even Sarkozy was laughing at this idiot president.
To: Michael Eden
The answer is yes but he is the Kenyan-born Islamo-usurper not the President of the United States.

I bet that Obama will now be trapped into shaking EVERYBODY'S hand this way for the rest of his presidency, just to say that he didn't bow to the king. :-)

The answer is YES. Obama bowed to the Saudi king, but the media doesn’t want the public to know about it. They hammered Bush, though, when he tried to help the elderly Saudi walk.
To: Orange1998
LOL! Hilarious! The slimy Saudis put it on the floor to fool Hussein.
These vermin are Sunnis. What are Kenyan-born muslims? Shia or Sunni’s?

Actually I read a story where leftist elites have started to bow to each other, either to give zero cover or to emulate their messiah (the part after the comma is my conclusion).

What are the other explanations for this? Seriously. Was he making a joke? Was he bending to pick something up? Was he about to sneeze? ...or did he serioulsy bow from the waist before the Saudi King?
To: Michael Eden
Damn Right the POSPOTUS bowed! Any ten year old could see it for what it was. But Bill O’Reilly just will not admit it! Makes me sick!

LOL! True. Sarkozy is having a good laugh.
Sarkozy is Jewish and I am quite sure he did not bow to the vile Saudis.
Thank goodness for Merkel and Sarkozy plus conservative Stephen Harper in Canada. Merkel and Sark were furious when he was trying to push Turkey into the EU. Hussein the muslim.

LOL!!! It would have been a believable excuse.
To: Michael Eden
Might not get any shoes thrown at him, but a boot in the butt might get him to straighten up and fly right.

Bill O’Reilley will not criticize Obama because he still hopes that he will come on his show. If he criticizes he knows it will never happen.
