| I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States. |
Just a google link I posted on a different thread. Haven’t had a chance to look at local news links, cept for the one from kcstar, and it was an editorial blog online..
To be honest, (and not sure this is a good idea), I quit watching the major news channels a while back. Too irritating to me to see their bias ALL the time. However, from what I’ve read here, (freeper comments) it’s not being reported. They are ignoring it, protecting obama and are clearly not concerned with the message obama is sending to the enemies of our state.
At least we can take comfort in knowing that the entire world who watched the bow, who are not under the control of our media, will know it for what it is..
LoL I checked so many threads today..while on the computer,I didn’t realize I posted the google link on this thread. (Using the phone internet access is not as easy as the computer—can’t see the entire page as easy—my bad)
your last line worries me
the muslims see this as a sign of weakness , they see it as either he is one of them which I must now agree or he is weak and is submitting to islam.
either way it is bad and what is disgusting how the media will not touch this.
Did you see Hannity last night(not watched him for months until last night).
He had some bimbo on from MTV of all people, she was a typical obama voter, ignoring points, no idea about obama or his wife and was embarrassing herself.
I will not be watching him or O.R now from a few more months.
Hannity did not cover it, like he will not cover homosexuals or their agenda.
I remember the media covering Bush and every gaff, I remember when they went mad at the wink to the Queen and I certainly remember how they crucified Bush for greeting the Saudis
now nothing about obama and his wife along with their lack of class and yet these media outlets say they are not biased
astounding
I have never marched on DC nor have I ever protested but I am ready to go anywhere now, this lunacy has to stop and the biased media has to stop.
At our tea party everyone of us should have a sign saying about how the media is biased
I’ll have a sign saying obama bows to Saudi king but ignores our voices and the constitution, my wife will have one saying.
the media need to start reporting and stop protecting obama
my kids will have signs like stop spending my kids money obama and the Govt

With bowed head and bended knee
By Thomas Lifson
Has anyone ever seen Barack Obama publicly bow and bend his knee when meeting someone prior to yesterday? I don’t recall any photos of such a gesture of greeting, but I would be very happy if some of the President’s defenders on the left could provide such evidence that his striking body language yesterday before the monarch of Saudi Arabia and custodian of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina was simply a habitual gesture of warmth.
We all know the examples of the above when one in the media crosses Hussein.
Most recently, CNBC’s Santelli and Cramer....they hired Howard Dean and put him on set (government watcher) to thwart Santelli, and Cramer was destroyed by the NY and Hollywood media. They both will be gone soon.
And CNBC are completely on the WH script, along with ABCCBSNMCCNBCCNN, AND Fox is close to it.
loser
How on earth is that comforting? All of our enemies plus all of their weasels in Europe will be heartened and emboldened by this obvious display of US weakness. All of our real friends in the world will be discouraged at realzing with certainty that the US is now headed by the weakest, most inept administration since Jimmy Carter, or WORSE. I don't find any comfort just because everyone outside of America will recognize this bow of submission for what it is.
That was my point to that guy. To people who don’t pay attention, this stuff doesn’t mean anything. They think it is the equivalent of making a big deal of a President getting oral sex from a White House intern (without understanding that it had nothing to do with sex but had everything to do with the TOP law enforcement person IN THE LAND lying under oath. I might view it the same as hiring a tax cheat to head the IRS. What would people think about that? Oh, wait...)
To those of us who understand that nearly every movement and utterance of the President (particularly in those types of situations) is watched and analyzed at both an intellectual and emotional level by both our friends and enemies, this is a demeaning and dangerous gesture.
And it makes it dangerous not only for us, but for our allies. I wonder what the Israelis thought of that gesture. I would bet my annual salary (comfortably) that there was plenty of discussion at the high levels of government and intelligence agencies within minutes after it became known.
Meanwhile, the Teleprompter-in-Chief shows once again that he is helpless without his teleprompter text:

Israeli coverage:
“Obama Bows to Saudi King, Supports Saudi Initiative, “by Maayana Miskin
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/130746
Thanks. I worked a long time on the long one (Post #825). I'd probably change it up a bit now, but I was on a roll. Also, I understand a whole lot of people everywhere in different professions were all over this story like white on rice.
...Except, of course, our ‘media,’ and I use that term with disgust.
Thank you.
I thought it would be a good thing for him to drop his mask. Maybe it wasn’t?
Our allies, if they give any credibility to obama’s dropping poll numbers, with the publicity of the tea parties, knowing that 1/2 if not more of the public doesn’t support obama.....I would hope they would still be on our side. If they stop being our allies, knowing the majority of public wants them to be our allies...then I would NOT feel comforted. If the allies stood up against him for the bow....what would obama do, cuz I really want to know.
Maybe I saw this wrong. I guess what I saw this as, was the world is watching. He knew it, his ignorant advisors knew it, we know it. What do we do with the information —that the world saw it?
Do you think our allies will turn their backs on us as a result of this?
DUmmies are defending Obama (most of them). Imagine if Bush had done this! “Bush bows to Saudi Oil Overlords!” would be the headline.
I could tell you worked hard on it. I saved it to various forms, emails etc.,, along with other great links, and comments. There is so much valid information, I think along with nachum’s website link, I’m going to post all the info on a single webpage and send that link to everyone I can think of.
thank you for that link!
okay, well......i guess this depends on who he thinks our allies are? Sheesh, I can’t believe this came out. Can someone please help me understand..

Barack Obama: ‘arrogant US has been dismissive’ to allies (Hurl)

President Barack Obama has offered an apology for the Bush era, declaring that America had “shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive” towards its allies.
President Obama said the US had “failed to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world”.
His speech in Strasbourg went further than any United States president in history in criticising his own country’s action while standing on foreign soil.
Ya didnt think he would ????
I figured it out on the other thread. He’s apologizing to his allies not ours. Another nasty thing to add to our list.
