This is absolutely disgusting! If the GOP has any guts at all they will make hay with this!

Never did understand why people criticized GWB for holding the king’s hand. The man was past 80, it’s only human to offer a hand or an arm to someone who could be seriously injured by a single misstep, and more likely than a young person to make one.
Not to mention how common it is for people his age to have arthritis or other ailments that affect their getting-about.

Bowing is quite another matter. Hopefully 0bama is only vomiting or something else involuntary, but I wouldn’t put it past him to show undue respect.

I just pray that someone gets a video of this on Youtube. Pass this on to everyone you know. Was there ever any doubt that it was no slip when he spoke of “my Muslim religion?”

He wasn’t bowing. He was showing...Moments earlier he had said to the king...”Barney Frank likes me in this position.”

And why wouldn’t he bow to the Queen?

Because she’s not a Muslim with 20 yachts.

Seriously, he’s making all this up as he goes. There is no protocol for him, the great wonder of Obama.

Since this disaster became official (January, 2009), I have been wracking my brain trying to think of what this situation reminds me of. It's there in my thoughts, but just below the surface.

Well...upon reading that idiot michelle grabbed the Queen of England around the waist and barry is out there falling all over himself to show how fawning he is to other world leaders...it finally hit me.

This is a case of two chosen highschool kids who each wrote a 50 word "essay" on why they want to be "governor for a day" (yes, of course they each cheated and took most if not all of their text from the internet). So...barry and michelle won the contest and were appointed as "governor for a day".

Then the dream becomes reality when we all realized that it wasn't "governor for a day", but president of the US, and that it wasn't for a day...but for four long years!!

These two idiots would be absolutely hillarious if it were not for the fact that they are bumblingly, ineptly, incompentently, stupidly, and wastefully ruining this country!

Somebody, please, send these two children back to highschool where they belong!

The thing no one is seeing is his yokel behavior insults Americans. He doesn’t care what anybody thinks of him. He’s going to act as he sees fit. This guy is way beyond his own vanity.

Reminds me of that scene in Shogun with Richard Chamberlain, where Toranaga and his cronies had Chamberlain bow, then Toranaga stepped over him and urinated on his back.

The British invented a Saudi monarchy..
They have a soft spot for monarchy and oligarchy..

Before the british the saudis were Sand Pirates/thieves..
Still are by culture and life style..

"The Naval Officer, as an Officer of the United States under Title X, USC, is prohibited from bowing to any head of state or member of a foreign royal family. The proper way to render respect in such a situation is to remain covered and render the hand salute in a sharp manner from the position of attention before moving on."
