The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.
“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.
I can see why this aide wanted to be anonymous, otherwise he’d probably have a new internet meme named after him, something that means “outrageously blatant liar.” Even the biggest Obama-lover cannot possibly view this video and conclude that he didn’t bow, and you would literally have to be BLIND not to see that the “two hands” thing is simply f*ckin’ NOT TRUE.

You know who else Obama is taller than? Queen Elizabeth. Did he feel compelled to bow to her for that reason? Nopes. You know who else he’s taller than? Probably 90% of the population, including most of the other world leaders at that summit. Has anyone ever seen him bow at the waist to a full 90 degrees to anyone other than King Abdullah? Um no.
This is so far beyond “spin” that it’s making me dizzy.
I especially love how some of his fans’ only response to this is “But! But! George Bush held hands with the same king! What about that? HUH?!?! ARGHGHGHG!!!” A$$holes. Holding hands is a gesture of friendship in Saudi, not a sign of subservience. Oh and by the way, if I recall correctly, conservatives were right pissed off when that happened.
And again, my main point is, if Chimpholster Monkeybubba Bush had done this, it’s all you’d hear about for weeks. The entire Left would have sh*t their pants, put on a new pair, sh*t those pants, and repeated this process for about a week.
(In all cautious fairness, though, is it really a “White House denial” when it’s just an anonymous aide? Honest question; wouldn’t want to get all flippy and then find out it’s a hoax or a “misstatement” or whatnot. Because it’s really so fantastically stupid and dishonest that it almost does seem like a hoax.)
Most of their high profile members were in Cuba kissing Fidel Castro's rotting arse so they didn't notice.

I won't believe it until Baghdad Bob denies it was a bow in front of an Abrams tank.
OK, there it is. Now I believe it.
He was merely inspecting the King’s companion, Mr. Johnson..
Yep. Expletives are the sign of a confused mind.
“A free black man”
Whatever gave you that idea? He’s Soros’ boy.
That is just too funny.
Nearly all of those around are also looking down, makes you wonder what they are looking at, did money exchange hands there?
Pure tagline gold, my FRiend!
Got it. If OB used both hands to shake the King’s, then he’s “letting it all hang out.” And it has FINGERS!
Maybe they should say he dropped his IPod gift to the King.
Hahahahaha! This guy is great. King got the head and we got the um, behind.
I must say I never thought I’d see a press secretary worse than Scotty. Now I have.
We know she worshipped him. She was on her knees...
Maybe he’s really a cow and those are its teats?
GMTA! I was just saying to my sidekick this morning, Gibbs is to McClellan as 0bama is to Carter. Just when you think you’ve seen the worst.
(Although I was only a little baby when Carter was befouling the WH; whereas I remember Scotty only too keenly.)
Only Michelle knows for certain!
