Video: No, Obama wasn’t cleaning the floor when greeting Abdullah

While I don’t post a lot on Twitter myself, I do learn a few things by monitoring my feed. For those wondering why the media hasn’t reported at all on Barack Obama’s protocol-smashing deep-waisted bow to King Abdullah — besides the usual Cover Obama’s Behind impulse — a few people are suggesting that media outlets are taking the position that Obama was really picking something off the ground instead of bowing.

Where did they get idea? Certainly not from the video. I’ve highlighted the portion, and repeat it a couple of times to be clear:

Very clearly, throughout the bow, Obama’s right hand stays engaged with Abdullah’s. His left hand remains visibly at his side, and doesn’t once reach for the ground. So where would they get the idea that President Obama assigned himself the task of cleaning the floor? I’d assume that Obama’s press office pushed that meme out hard yesterday when the video first came out, and they didn’t bother to check it.

No lie too big when it comes to covering O’s rear end.

The king offered Obama a pack of Camel cigarettes and Obama couldn't resist.

It’s becoming impossible for Obama to remain in the closet...

His unguarded moments reveal he is either a closet Muslim or a homosexual going down.....or perhaps both.

In any case, the beginnings of an orgy of servility by the Anointed One..

Some stations filmed the bow from the side, and there was no mistaking the fact that Obama rushed up to the king, literally pushing aside a couple of people who were standing in front of the Saudi king, and made a deep bow with his hands out as if he was going to grab the Saudi’s hand and kiss it.

This was actually much worse than most people are saying, and much worse than the photo that seems to be out, which was taken from behind Obama so that you can’t really tell what he’s doing.

Seen from the side, there’s no way of covering up the fact that he was intentionally making a deep bow to the Saudi king.

To be truly “anointed” — one can not count having your leg pissed on...

The gay crypto-muslim crack whore was kissing the King’s hand.

He wasn’t cleaning the floor - just the king’s boots.

Can anyone go to this site (below) and capture the pic of Obama bowing? It has been, ahem, modified somewhat. Very funny. Scroll down the replies. You’ll know which one I’m referring to.

Weren’t there some articles a while back linking Obama’s Islamic mentor (the one who got him in Harvard) to Saudi cash?

If so, Obama is bowing before his patron and paymaster.

You read my mind. To say this was a pickup of something on the floor is micturating on my leg and telling me its raining.
