White House Won't Bow to Reality
National Review ^ | 4/8/09 | Michael Goldfarb

Posted on 04/08/2009 6:22:18 PM PDT by pissant

Ben Smith appears to be the first reporter to ask the White House why Barack Obama bowed before the King of Saudi Arabia, a violation of more than two centuries of tradition and protocol holding that American presidents never bow before royalty. The answer the White House gave Smith: "It wasn't a bow."

So who you going to believe -- Barack Obama or your lying eyes?

The fact that no one on in the traveling press corps even bothered to ask for an explanation as to why Obama bowed is almost as stunning as the White House's absurd denial that there was no bow to begin with. Even Think Progress (!) conceded "the fact that Obama briefly bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia." Is the Center for American Progress calling the President of the United States a liar?

More here on the pathetic treatment of this from the New York Times.

It wasn’t a bow. He was just admiring a ring on the King’s finger.

Does the King still have the ring on his finger? Chicago culture comes to mind.

It's obvious. He spotted a cigarette on the floor--- and tried to pick it up.

He'd bend over a mile for a Camel...

Obama is a Muslim, whitey hating,dishonest, America hating, Pinko Commie Fag Manchurian Candidate that half of the United States elected to finish us off. Obama is living proof that affirmative action is a dismal failure and is counter productive to the US ways of life. The US may not last another four years till when we can boot his sorry butt out.

Obama and his socialist lie 24/7. They lie because they can. These people are shameless and so emboldened by a lying media that will do everything under the sun to protect them, defend their lies, and smear those who criticize Obama and his socialists.
