Obama bows down to Saudi King

Clarice Feldman

I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States.

bowing down to Islamist monarch

I still cannot get over this.

Regardless, as you said, it is a kick in the teeth to ALL Americans

As President of the United States, he signaled the submission of all Americans to the King.

I surprised Obama didn't go full prostrate before the Saudi King.

Obama could learn from Leonidas, of 300 Spartans fame, how
one conducts himself upon meeting a King.
King Xerxes requires Leonidas to bow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a44KxdCCOUk

Highly unlikely though.

Not quite, combat_boots. The respectful bowing salutation is only the second and lesser definition. The first and more accepted defintion:

1. A ceremonious act of deference or obeisance, especially a low bow performed while placing the right palm on the forehead

President Bush held hands. This man kisses his ***.

0bama is bowing to the man who is the keeper of the holy sites, and since 0bama said the prettiest sound in the world is the Moslem call to prayer, most folks can put two and two together.

I'm actually sick to my stomach.

My reaction also.

This is a signal to the Sunni Muslim world.

Have any of the Drive-Bys reported on this today?

RUSH:...Have you seen the picture? By the way, there have been massive protocol blunders on the part of Obama and his wife in the UK. They're being reported, but they're not being highlighted as they would be if it were a Republican president. But one of the big gaffes is he actually bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia. Only subjects of the king of Saudi Arabia bow! You don't bow. It makes you subservient. It tells the king that you indeed agree that you are subservient to him. This is King... I think it's Abdullah. Yes, it's also Abdullah in Jordan. Regardless -- and there's a big picture of it, and it looks like there's a ChiCom guy standing there. He's the only one bowing in all the people, the group of people here meeting the King of Saudi Arabia. So as I say it's a slow surrender on the part of President Obama at the world summit, the G20. And he's got four other stops on his itinerary after he wraps up today at the G20. So the more he's out of the country... By the way, as long as Geithner doesn't screw up -- he's slicing the cheese up there. As long as Geithner doesn't mess up and the longer Obama is out of the country, mark my words: the higher the market might indeed go.

I know in my heart that that the King and the rest of the Middle East paid for Os election.

I believe that also.

This is Act II of the tragedy that began on 9-11 (including the mysterious shorting of airline stocks that has never been explained).

In fact, the attack may include another economic warfare component, just as it did on 9-11.

You just know that this picture is being sent to Iran, Syria, etc. We just became the biggest joke of all, thanks to this ignorant, stupid man.

Look at the others standing there. Sarkozy has a wtf look and is laughing. The others standing beside the monkey eared Kenyan are watching him kiss the hand and they look stunned.


Reminded me of this old adam sandler skit from a while back. I think it was called “They’re all gonna laugh at you!!”

Seriously though, if all this chit Otard is doing wasn’t so damn scary, it would be hilarious. I like seeing him implode, I just pray he doesn’t take us all down with him
