The President of Iraq had it right last year “Saudis? Saudis? More like Bedouins on camels!”.

At least he is facing TOWARD the king ... I somehow expected otherwise.

Speaking of his a**, someone tell him to never poke his big butt at a camera. It is so unflattering.

And Barney Fwank and Chrissy Matthews get turned on!

As repulsive as it may be, Obama ain't the only one who is an embarrassment to us all!

Is bowing before the King a Muslim thing?

Your comments sound ignoratnt. Learn the protocol; learn that Americans Leaders don't "BOW" to Saudi King. A cheek kiss; even a hand-holding is acceptable protocol in that part of the world.
A bow is not. Not by an American.

George Bush was a great President.

ignoratnt? Watch for words with the red line under them!

Learn to read - I never said the bow (or Obama) didn't suck.

Yeah GW was a great president if you wanna overlook border security, immigration and a few other things like letting the rats dictate his nominations.

Lefties are calling photoshopped....

It'd be photoshopped if there was a teleprompter telling him to bow.

A kiss, holding hands, or locking arms is a sign of respect and equalness in many parts of the world.

A bow is a sign of subjugation in every part of the world.

Bush was acting as an equal to King Abdullah, Obama acted like a subject.

Not even close in comparison.

You got one thing right, chuckie.

GW was a GREAT President. Don't worry about typos so much, worry about your own misguided angst. GW beefed-up the Border by thousands. Please read the news.

Hey, have you seen who's the new Resident? ?

I really think that Obama is smarter than you because as a Saudi or an Arab in general, bowing down to an elderly is very respectful. Obama is not my president but if I see him one day I will tell him that he’s been always The president and my president too and I will bow down to him because he is a very humble person. Real unprecedented actions from a US president that make you pay respect to the US not because of the way you think AnotherUnixGeek but because of Obama actions. Go Obama.

Obama isn't a Saudi or an Arab. He's an American, and the president of the US. He is not a subject of King Abdullah, and has no business acting like one - it insults the honor of all Americans. Furthermore, King Abdullah recently requested that his own subjects not bow to him, saying that men should bow only to God. So I'd say that Obama isn't smarter than me, just more subservient.
