When President Obama met King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia during the Group of 20 summit in London last week, he made a deep bow from the waist, to which the reaction in conservative blogs was (paraphrased) "We fought a king in 1776, for this."
Jeff Goldstein at Protein Wisdom recalled how New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani "once practically spit in the face of a presumptuous Saudi Prince" before going on to draw an obscenely unfavorable comparison to the regime to whose leader Mr. Obama was bowing.
"Our President? He … bowed. He bowed to religious intolerance. He bowed to misogyny. He bowed to anti-semitism. He bowed to homophobia. In short, he surrendered our country's ideals, offering up our principles for sacrifice on the altar of Otherness … … And by bowing before a Saudi Prince, our President — in addition to [ignoring] 200+ years of precedent — has shown himself to be as principled as many of us knew him to be. Which is not principled at all."

The media took Clinton to task for even suggesting the unthinkable. Now they remain silent on Obama's leap to the unthinkable. When will the New York Times cover this, even to the extent [it] covered Clinton's inclined shoulders? Or is the unthinkable in 1994 turned into the unmentionable in 2009, thanks to a national media that has completely sold out to Barack Obama?"
“He bowed to homophobia.”
They always have to include the poison pill.
Good for the Washington Times; they’re getting the news of 0’s betrayal out there.
A ‘Muzzie” bows to his King!
I imagine our hope-and-change president, Barack Hussein Obama, will be doing a lot of bowing before foreigners in the next few years. I think he enjoys it. The bow symbolizes an America that is subservient to socialist/communist dictators and fake 'kings' like Saudi Arabia's Abdullah. I believe that is exactly the way President Barack Hussein Obama visualizes our nation: weak and subservient to 'the world' where Obama considers his true citizenship resides. He wants to tear down America and his bowing is either a real body language giveaway or a calculated effort to show extreme deference to people who spit on our flag.... and Americans elected this man as their president. God help America.
Has anyone seen 0bama go to a church since election? Did he go to any European cathedral anywhere? What did he give to the Turkish leader?
Why was he in those 2 mosques in Istanbul?
