That was not a bow.
That was a grovel before the king of Mecca.
Yeah! THAT’S the ticket.
And those aren't Arabs either!
Except in Japanese culture, bowing is a sign of equality and respect, while in Saudi culture, it is a sign of subservience.
Hey Mr. 0bama (just can't call him president right now without vomit filling my throat) - you are a lying sack of dog turds. And you are not even smart enough to know when you are caught in a lie. Then again, it doesn't matter when 99.9% of the media will cover for you as best they can, and 53% of the US voting population are even dumber and more brainwashed than you.
I don't know what 0bama calls this, but it sure looks like a bow to me:
It was definitely a bow. In the film I saw, Bambi walked over rapidly, pushing his way past the people near the Saudi king, and bowed deeply, extending his hands to grasp the king’s hand at the same time (as if he were going to kiss it).
It didn’t look to me as if the king gave him his hand, although the WH says that he did. But it wasn’t even a normal handshake - Bambi reached out with both hands while bowing.
Interestingly, I dug that obscure column up from a news search, and posted it here on FR. I'll bet Smith found it here.
Funny, the video shows Obama shaking the king’s hand with one hand and the other across his waist during the bow. All they are really doing here is throwing out a denial so that they can muddy the water. They know he bowed and this is tantamount to an admission. This is a furtherance of Bill Clinton’s policy of “deny, deny, deny.” If they deny it, it didn’t happen even though there is proof that it did.
Wouldn’t a curtsy have been more appropriate?
Who are we to believe?
Obama or our lying eyes?
“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.’
If this ‘aide’ is telling the truth, why are they afraid their name will be used in the article? There is no doubt about his bowing. If he thought he could’ve explained it away, he’d have knelt.
We are so screwed...
“I did not bow to that King, Abdullah Lewinsky.”
Being taller has not one damned thing too do with it. HE BOWED!!!! End of discussion. We are not blind. We CAN SEE the ass hole bowed to his superior muzzie leader. He bowed to izzlum ass holes because he is an izzlum ass hole. No doubts in my military or civilian mind that he bowed!!!!
I’m glad the White House made a statement. This story was about to die of old age.
There is an old (1993) Country song by Colin Raye - “that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.” It should be this president’s theme song.
Don't nobody move!
Just lost my damn contact!
Dawg, PULEEEEEEEEEZE!
Q. How do you know when a Democrat is lying?
A. When their lips are moving.
OK, it wasn’t a bow. It was a curtsy.
