Well, now lets see here....
Good collection.
Obama's staffing problems are blatant -- from that bleating boy of a treasury secretary to what appears to be a total vacuum where a chief of protocol should be. There has been one needless gaffe after another -- from the president's tacky appearance on a late-night comedy show to the kitsch gifts given to the British prime minister, followed by the sweater-clad first lady's over-familiarity with the queen and culminating in the jaw-dropping spectacle of a president of the United States bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia. Why was protest about the latter indignity confined to conservatives? The silence of the major media was a disgrace. But I attribute that embarrassing incident not to Obama's sinister or naive appeasement of the Muslim world but to a simple if costly breakdown in basic command of protocol.
Enough already! These slips are worsening the anti-Obama backlash, which began with the administration's bungled handling of the grotesquely swollen stimulus package. Conservatives seem deliriously drunk with their cartoon picture of Obama, to whom is glibly attributed every pathology in the book. Yes, there were ambiguities about Obama's birth certificate that have never been satisfactorily resolved. And the embargo on Obama's educational records remains troubling. But I am still waiting for hard evidence about the host of other charges that are continually being hammered against him -- from his alleged fidelity to the crypto-tactics of Chicago leftist Saul Alinsky to the questions raised by right-wingers about the production of Obama's two memoirs. Out of respect for the presidency, conservatives need to put up or shut up about these issues.
Nominated for post of the day.
Nice work!
Yes.
Many of us here have tall daughters.
It is character that counts, not body type.
My daughter would NEVER had characterized her country in the language of MO.
Good one pissant! BUMP!
Sorry. My grandchildren are all tall for their ages and I wasn’t really thinking about just the height. I was referring to the tall, female, aggressive warrior (Michelle).
yep, that’s a bow
Bingo. He kissed the man’s hand or ring.
“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” the aide was quoted as saying by Politco.com Wednesday.
You can see in this video that Zer0's left hand is tucked into his own waist as he "leans deeply towards" Abdullah. Stop it at about 0:12 seconds and you can see his hand flop impotently down to his knee as he begins to come back up from his "deep lean towards" Abdullah.
Isn't putting your left hand on your abdomen at the waist as you bend forward a traditional part of bowing?
She could be taught how to walk, sit, dress and conduct herself.
But she needs another type of help for her anti-American attitude.
I would say so for sure.
In all those pix, he is staring them right in the eyes. With KA, he dips his head submissively.
With the WH ‘clarification’, it truly is a case of, “Who ya gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?”
Tell Camille to educate herself on what Cloward-Piven Strategy is. If she has two working brain cells and one honest bone in her body that should end her confusion.
The queen is quite small, yet His Lying Highness didn't have to fold up like a pocket knife to shake her hand.
My mistake. His left hand at his waist can be seen at 3-4 seconds into the video not 12.
