You have to look really hard to find it, but the American mainstream media are glancing at the stunning Obama bow before the King of Saudi Arabia, but only for the purpose of dismissing it.
The Hotline, widely-read among political pros, publishes a brief note focusing on conservative blog reactions, not the incident itself, in its "Blogometer" feature. The implication is that only right wing kooks care about such matters.
Quite clearly, many in the media would rather nobody reported on the incident, but since news is leaking out, they feel a need to minimize it, and make sure nobody important ever sees the full extent of the leader of the free worlds' self-abasement before a slave-holding absolute monarch, whose country exports Salafism worldwide.
The only honest and reasonable full account comes fromt he other side of the world. A newspaper in Brisbane, Australia notices, and even publishes a picture, comparing the Michelle touch of the Queen (highly publicized) witht eh Obama demi-prostration.
Where, oh where is Bill O'Reilly and his body language analyst Tonya Reiman?
“We need to have a tea party right outside their studios. Let’s see them not cover that.”
This is a great idea! We should hold a Tea Party outside CNN etc to, not only protest the goverment’s actions, but also the media’s absolute bias!
That is actually a good idea.
When they took the fifth amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own real estate.
When they took the fourth amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the sixth amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent.
When they took the second amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun.
Now they've taken the first amendment, and I can say nothing about it.
From Brityank's homepage. Thanx Brit.
“It may not get on the evening news, but it will get out.”
Thanks so much!!!!
First Clinton, now this. Verra soon we will be calling it “The Oral Office”.
Of course he wasn’t bowing. He was bending down to tie his shoes.
I bet zer0 has a blue suite too
Most Americans and the MSM don’t make much of this action.
But it is significant as a sign of submission in the third world and especially in the Muslim world.
bttt
That’s why I printed out the picture of 0bama bowing so I can show it to anyone who doesn’t believe me when I tell them
The local paper is warming up to it. They reported this story this morning. They’ll get around to the BOw soon, I’m sure.

I can see that happening.
Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007 (New York Times)
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

Thanks bigheadfred. Both got deleted. :’)
We can’t wait for the MSM to do their job because they won’t. To my knowledge, not even Fox has aired the video or discussed the event.
If we want our country back, we’ll have to fight for it ourselves!
If it’s any comfort, today is the anniversary of President Harrison’s demise.
Does King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia make Obama do entertaining "step-n-fetch-it" tricks for the amusement of the Saudi Royal Court?
Inquiring minds want to know!
That is something that I do not want to hear across America. But it has started at several Mosques.
