Obama bows down to Saudi King

Clarice Feldman

I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States.

bowing down to Islamist monarch

You call that a bow? Bambi looks like he’s bending over to take a close look at something Abdullah’s holding. Even the others are looking down at what O’Bidens looking at, and not at the Pres_ent, which they would be doing if it were a bow.

I disagree with your interpretation. All of Bush’s actions showed mutual respect, admiration, and friendship... A BOW is something COMPLETELY different... COMPLETELY. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it... And, this is definitely NOT “SOP” for the U.S. towards ANY other world leader — EVER.

Yes, Crolis! That Cheshire grin is always on full-blast. Zero's huge grin that he gave for the G20 pic made my SKIN CRAWL! The video of him when they're all posing for the photos is creepy sick. NONE of the other leaders did that ear-to-ear Cheshire cat grin.

Bush was also deeply disturbing because it portrayed the despot in a light contrary to how he was seen in the US.

"Did he bow to the Queen?

Both he and Gazelle gave slight but perceptible nods of the head to both the Queen and Prince Phillip.

I think this was appropriate and I would have done the same.

Is this crap really the best thing to spend our time and bandwidth with? Who cares? How about going after Bam Bam’s abortion policies, economic policies, global warming, gun-grabbing, etc. etc.??

You’re right, but there’s plenty of threads here on those items you outline.

It’s truly sickening, and the media will wave this off as if it’s nothing... To REALLY hear what this means to the WORLD, I’ll be heading over the Al-Jazeera in a few minutes. No doubt even if the US doesn’t report it, the Arab media WILL, and I can almost guess what they’ll be saying already, “Obama surrenders, bows to Saudi King in supplication”

Classless and clueless.

September 12, 2005

The new Saudi king has ordered citizens not to kiss his hand, saying the traditional gesture of respect is degrading and violates Islam.

"Kissing hands is alien to our values and morals, and is not accepted by free and noble souls," Abdullah told a delegation from Baha, in southwest Saudi Arabia, which came to the royal palace to offer congratulations on his accession. "It also leads to bowing, which is a violation of God's law. The faithful bow to no one but God."

BINGO!

We fought wars over not being subservient. This is a big deal.

Wasn’t aware of that... So, the Saudi Emir is basically the “Pope” of Islam? Definitely adds another dimension.

Looks like everyone’s standing around laughing. Is that Sarkozy on the right shoulder of the king?

That guy on the right, laughing, is probably thinking: "What a rube!"

Beyond disgusting. Won’t be surprised if the Saudis will now expect that all Americans must bow down when meeting the king, else it’ll be taken as a big insult.

Obama will slip out of this kowtowing disgrace by saying his contact lens popped out and he had to find it or the summit would collapse.
