Hey, Obama Admin and the Mainstream Media: It Was a Bow, A'ight?

An open letter to President Barack Obama, members of the Obama administration, and members of the mainstream media:

It was a bow, a’ight? It was a big fat freaking I’m-not-worthy, let-me-kiss-your-feet bow.

It was the first time in U.S. history an American leader prostrated himself to any other leader. And there’s your Golden Boy doing it to a Jew-hating, woman-suppressing, America-despising, oil-hoarding, terrorism-supporting Saudi king.

It was wrong, hugely embarrassing, and it is a big deal because it, like everything Obama has done, made America look really really bad.

I know it, you know it, and those Americans who aren’t still under the spell of Obamania you helped create know it.

You folks in the Obama administration and the Obama-ass-kissing mainstream media might think the American people are stupid. And to be sure, some of them are.

Seems real clear to me

Truth laid bare. Outstanding!

The fact that they are telling us not to believe our own eyes certainly does clear the air re Rev Wright. Remember?
B O did not know the Rev was so extreme? Well, that was a lie and this is a lie.
Too bad he didn’t puke when he bent over!

I wish that flunky had not been in the middle of the picture. If he had not, we would have had a clear view of Obama dipping his head in deference to a foreign king. I would not have bowed to a foreign king; I'm not his subject. Obama obviously thinks differently. Bought and paid for.

[television is just wrong]

he did everything but turn around and drop is trousers.

[ronnyquest]

I had not seen this picture before. It is so completely obvious when seen from the rear angle. Complete and utter deference to a foreign potentate. Shameful.

Obama is why only natural born citizens are Constitutionally eligible to be President. He repeatedly does things that embarrass us and makes me wonder what he is? Closet muslim? Citizen of the world? Blatant capitalist hating socialist?

If he bowed any lower they would have to move to Vermont.

Pray for America

Looks to me like he did everything but press his forehead to the floor. I also love how Gibbs is trying to play this down. From Catherine Herridge on Fox News:

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs addressed the issue Thursday when he denied that the president bowed.

"I think he bent over with both hands to shake his hand," Gibbs said before asking why the incident was being raised a week after it happened.

When a reporter said people were still discussing the incident, Gibbs used his signature sarcasm to dismiss the claim.

"I can only imagine it is of great cause and concern for many people struggling with the economy," he said.

First of all, if Gibbs doesn't know anything can only speculate about what the President does, then what the hell is he doing giving press conferences? Why doesn't a reporter ask the Press Secretary to please direct them to someone who does know what the hell he's talking about?

Secondly, when is he going to realize that using the economy as an excuse to cover up every gaffe and faux pas the President makes is already wearing thin? I mean, isn't this precisely the worst time for the leader of the free world to be prostrating himself before foreign potentates?

"I can only imagine it is of great cause and concern for many people struggling with the economy," he said. OMG, I didn't see this interview, but I LOVE it! People are making a big deal of Obama's bow because they're worried about the economy! CLASSIC!

"he did everything but turn around and drop is trousers."

I suspect he did that later, when the cameras were elsewhere.

NO mater how much the obozo WH attempts damage control, IT WAS A BOW. The question is did obozo kiss the dictator’s hand?

[Ozarkie]

“If he bowed any lower they would have to move to Vermont.”

You should get an award for best post of the day for that one. Can I borrow that for somewhere else...please???

[43north]

...makes me wonder what he is? Closet muslim? Citizen of the world? Blatant capitalist hating socialist?

Yup

[peeps36]

I think he kissed the King’s ring. I thought about naming a certain type of ring but decided not to hit below the belt.

[bray]

Use away! Glad you liked it.

Happy Easter

I agree. Great comment, Bray. Vermont: Too liberal even for Massachusetts!
