I understand. And I agree whole heartedly with you. No way a US president should be bowing to anyone.
If there is any to be done behind closed doors, Obama should leave it up to his diplodinks, some of who just might be professionals, but somehow I am beginning to doubt that.

Sorry PSS, chairman MAO-bama
did bow to the saudi king. Even as a long time suffering bengals fan, I'm fully aware of the "genuflect". MAO-bama clearly bent forward at the waist and signaled his submission to the islamic king.
His new bow to the Japanese emperor continues to send the message America is subservient to all cultures and nations and no longer the superior beacon of freedom for the world.
Sad how anyone here at FR would deny MAO-bama's bow although most clearly see the bow and are repulsed.

Heads of state do not bow.
Apparently he realizes that he really is not a legitimate president, and thus is not a head of state.

Or maybe his protocol staff is incompetent - but I believe his arrogance has more to do with it. He will bow low to any that arent of European ancestry.

After he bowed to the Saudi, some here echoed the cock and bull claim that “someone dropped something and Obama looked down.”
Does everyone now realize the truth?

There are cracks in the floor. Maybe he tripped. Thats as plausable an excuse as,,,”he did`nt bow to the Saudi King. He was just trying to pick up something off the floor.”

Yes!!!
Would that more remembered the Revolutionary war battle cry, “No King but King Jesus”!

Sad how anyone here at FR would deny MAO-bama's bow although most clearly see the bow and are repulsed. Even more sad that so many here at FR are ignorant of the concept of satire and simply cannot comprehend that calling it a genuflection makes it even worse than a bow. But if you want to try to save face, be my guest.
But I won't bow to you to do so.

In that context, I may be wrong. I don't know. I just know that when I lived there, i was bowing all the time during introductions.
Either way, I think we still agree on our feelings about Barry.
