Will the Bow be Obama's Waterloo?
The Provocateur ^ | 04/09/2009 | Mike Volpe

All right, the analogy is likely very ridiculous. I just really wanted to use the term Waterloo and also, I couldn't think of a better metaphor. That said, a couple days back it appears that President Obama bowed to King Abdullah. Let's go to the video tape.

His supporters WANT the USA groveling before third world thugs.

That is a plus for his “approval ratings”.

Yes, but we live in a media age in which stories can and do hit the mainstream with or without the MSM. The MSM can totally ignore the story and it can still spread. That’s what has been happening at a somewhat slow pace but the story continues to get more legs everyday. At some point, someone will ask Gibbs about it a press briefing and then the View will talk about it and next thing you know it is front burner story.

i confess it doesn’t much matter to me.

i’m pretty sure I’ve seen our presidents nod/bow towards other monarchs.

it’s not like he fell to his knees and kissed his feet.

He could have given him a b.j. in public and still nothing would happen. He could strangle a puppy at a press conference. He could shoot up dope at a state dinner. It will always be covered up/excused.

I don't think he was aiming for his feet.

Yeah, all Republicans should take Newt’s lead. In an interview with FOX, at a point when they were still ignoring the bow, Newt mentioned it in every other sentence.

sorry I disagree but that’s fine ...ya’ll run with it....anything to limit his ability to ruin the country suits me

but this bow thing was at most a faux paux in my estimation

i believe Obama is an atheist or maybe a humanist agnostic.

religion is something for him to use, not believe in

a common creed for leftists who believe in the new pure noble man of color

“and also, I couldn’t think of a better metaphor”

You could have at least called it his Bay of Pigs. If Waterloo (meaning Last Stand) is the best you can come up with, best not to use any metaphor at all.

“No gaffe or mistake,or even a bow. It was an outright genuflect, it came naturally, easy, and instinctive.”

Sorry, for it to be genuflection, at least one knee has to be touching the ground. Thems the rules. A bow is bad enough, no need to make things up.

“Obama’s supporters will forgive any gaffe or mistake.”

So will the liberal media.

The liberal media ARE 0bama supporters. The media wing of the DNC.

Hussein is merely showing regard for who put him in the WH. Not in the least surprised.

The bow is really not that big a problem though it certainly isn’t a good thing. What is a problem is the denial. Now, watch the story start to change a few times.
