I though Obama's urges to surrender in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the likelihood of his inaction against Iran's going nuclear were the greatest foreign policy dangers, but I believed the establishment BS about his sophistication. But the man is a yokel, making an ass of himself in front of the world without any thought for the situation he's in or the image he projects.
IMO, the video clip is important because lots of liberal blogs are saying the photo was photoshopped. When you look at the video, it’s obvious, that it’s not a photoshopped image...it happened!
Obama bows to the Saudi king on the day Congress doomed our beloved nation into fiscal demise.
He is a yokel. Great description.
What a massive freaking Boob!!!
The video is doubly important, because if it gets enough views, it shows up on the front pages at YouTube as one of the “most viewed” and goes viral.
Just when I think I can not be further stunned he does it again....unreal.
If you search youtube, you only come up with one video, but once you click on that video, on the sidebar, there are many people who have posted the same vid.
I thought it was a long-established rule that US Presidents DO NOT BOW TO ANYBODY. Not the the Queen of England, not to anybody. Certainly not to an Arab.
Your “president” is a jackass.
and you have a great PM. me very jealous.
Once I saw the video, I understood why the MSM hasn’t touched this with a ten foot pole. No way to “spin” this. Just as young kindergardeners in the UK are taught to bow and curtsy (just in case they encounter a royal), so were the Muslims of Obama’s time taught to bow to the king of a Muslim nation. (although I understand that is no longer the case)
I was taught way back in grade school that no American official bows to any foreign official; just as no American citizen is required to bow to any American official. I believe this is also the reason that during international sporting events, the American flag is not dipped/lowered to the hosting body. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong on this, but I believe this is the case even to this day.
Color me disgusted.
I wonder what presents he will give to this king. Perhaps a treasure chest of gold and jewels and a dozen perfectly white horses.
You can be sure Obama won’t give him a bunch of bargain bin CD’s.
When an American president bows to a foreign king, it represents his willingness to subjugate our national will and public policy. I personally consider this a manifestation of a treasonous heart and mind set.
Speaking of his a**, someone tell him to never poke his big butt at a camera. It is so unflattering.
> and you have a great PM. me very jealous.
Thanks — he really is a great Prime Minister, I agree.
I saw PM John Key yesterday: he attended a lunchtime concert at the school where my wife teaches music. He showed up on time, sat thru the entire performance, said a few words to the kids about “Achievement” and then stayed at the school for lunch. A thoroughly classy guy, sitting in the audience with everyone else.
Even the security — tho’ present — was lo-key. They didn’t get in the way, they just quietly and effectively did their jobs. When Mr Key was ready to go, they climbed into their car and left. No sirens, no motorcade, just an ordinary black-and-white plus Mr Key’s Ministerial car, traveling the speed limit and stopping for traffic signals, just like everyone else...
How cool is that, ay!
(Well OK, our “black-and-whites” are white-with-orange-and-blue)
Better his butt than Michelle’s, I guess! The video I saw was taken from the side, btw, and it shows a purposeful, deep bow.
Perfectly stated!!!
Jackass as in dumbass and not democrat.
Perfectly stated!!!
My bad! I forgot to add that Zer0 is our "Jakartan Candidate".
No wonder that "Son of a Kenyan" is bowing to the King of the Head, Hand and whatever else Lopping Off Nation.
Maybe, Zer0 will set up a chopping block in the Rose Garden, in the near future.
