I’m calling her racist on this. When will our jug eared Kenyan call her out on this??? On foreign affairs I like Hillary Clinton. I have never seen a more comatose script reader on my TV. Fox News. Hillary has some gay**** idiot write the words she mouths

**** State has been gay friendly and gay heavy for decades. Go ask Kabar. British Foreign Service for even longer just look at the gay traitors they had in WW2 and afterward. Kim Philby and on and on

A lot depended on how tall you were in relation to the person you were greeting. I remember my hands were at the top of my chest or higher, depending on who I met in Cambodia during the war.

I know that I greeted Buddhist monks with a bow (because of my height, 6’2”) so my hands ended up at my face level. Other officials I greeted from President Lon Nol and Foreign Minister Sarik Matak, were either chest high or a handshake.

Nobody seemed to mind where I placed my hands. They were glad to see an American (journalist) who was trying to help them defeat the communists. I even got saluted by a Cambodian soldier because I was wearing jungle khakis and boots. I returned the salute as a courtesy.

I’ll give Obama a pass on this one unless State Dept. Protocol officers did show him the right way to greet a Cambodian official.

Sigh.

It's fun, but this photo is a "still": a video may show her greeting is "in transition".

But it looks as though Dear Leader is giving her the same level, right?
