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

Here’s link to one of the vids on YouTube. The reporter is speaking in Spanish, but it’s a side view of the bow. The Saudi sees him, smiles, and holds out his left hand. Obama quickly goes over, and bows — there is some debate on whether there was a kiss of the Saudi’s ring, but the clear view is obstructed. As others have pointed out, it does appear at one point that the King’s hand has been turned palm-down, at the same time Obama’s mouth is right about at that height during the bow...

As for the kiss - definitely up to speculation. As for the bow — no misinterpretation can possibly be made after viewing the video.

Looks like the king doesn’t like people bowing to him:

I thought that too at first, then I noticed the quizzical looks on some of those looking on, as if to say, “What the heck is this guy doing???”

He’s not bowing, he’s just kissing his ring. /sarc

How come Drudge is not zeroing in on this?????? It should be at the top of his front page in big bold flashing letters with sirens flashing.

Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say 'what should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Samuel Adams

Watch the video... After you do, you will not be questioning this. It is definitely a BOW, and a DEEP bow at that...

The moron doesn’t have a clue about protocol. He’s no more fit for the position of POTUS than, well, never mind....

I like my FR account.......

Nobody is running the Protocol Office. The post hasn’t been filled.

I read somewhere this AM that they didn’t even know there was such a thing.

Remember, these guys are Chicago gangsters. They don’t know from protocol. Intimidation is there forte.

It’s almost too unbelievable the way he’s been acting... I’m almost out of words myself. Make sure your wife is sitting down when she sees the video! :)

Screw the protocol office. There's no-one on this earth I'd bend my neck to.

Pardon my French :)

"did he bow to the queen?"

From what I saw, he did a 'deep nod' to the Queen as he and Michelle barged..err I mean entered the room, not really a bow.

I know from posts that Rush mentioned it. However, I think the only ones who will be reporting this that can be considered “MSM” will be the Middle Eastern bureaus, maybe Pravda... Even the most liberal reporters here in the U.S. know exactly what happened here. They CAN’T explain it away and so instead they will ignore it... As you said, not if I can help it!
