Because Obama is only an ordinary Muslim while King Abdullah is the custodian of the two Holy Mosques. He has to show some respect.

He did that as though he’s done it a million times.
It looked like a native custom.

We should go to the White House and throw his
crap out on the lawn while he’s gone.

Thanking him, on behalf of Trinity United, for sending America’s chickens home to roost.

I can not stand the man but really. Look at the picture.
There are many things to go after but this has no merit.

This was posted earlier today, they are looking at something.

“This was posted earlier today, they are looking at something.”

Actually, if you see the video, he approaches and as he shakes hands, he does make a deep bow.

I stop watching the video when the lady said, “Fat Potato” in less than fifteenth seconds after he bowed. Something got lost in the translation.

However, him bowing so low to a Muslim leader was a signal. It has been suggested that Muslin’s leaders are about saving face, this signifies that United States surrenders and will yield to their concessions.

The King granted him 3 new wives of his choosing, so Obama was just thanking him.

I’m going to assume you haven’t seen the video that very CLEARLY shows him bowing.

Why is Obama bowing?

Maybe he thought Barney Franks was in the room and he did it out of habit.
