Mark Whittington: Obama Bows to the Saudi King

President Barack Obama has stirred yet another controversy when he appeared to bow to the King of Saudi Arabia during the recent G20 Economic Summit. The appropriateness of an elected President bowing before an absolute monarch has been questioned.
The writer Mark Steyn suggested, rather caustically, “So let me see if I understand American protocol in the age of Obama: The First Lady hugs Queen Elizabeth as if she’s some granny at a seniors’ center photo-op, but the President of this republic prostrates himself before King Abdullah as if he’s a subject of the Saudi pseudo-Crown.”
While the behavior of Michelle Obama toward the Queen of England was considered by some to be overly familiar, Barack Obama bowing before the King of Saudi Arabia seems to be obsequious in the extreme. Under no circumstances is it expected or even permitted for an American citizen to bow before any foreign monarch. This is especially true of the elected President of the United States.
It seems strange that the allegedly naïve and boorish President George W. Bush knew this, whereas the sophisticated and worldly President Barack Obama does not. Americans fought a revolution, after all, so that they would not have to bow down before any monarch. One wonders what the men who fought at Lexington-Concord, Saratoga, and Yorktown would have thought of President Obama bowing before the King of Saudi Arabia. In the Middle East especially, the act of bowing indicates submission and acknowledgment of that the person being bowed to is the master. President Obama by bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia acknowledged him as his sovereign. Indeed, President Obama may well have acknowledged the Saudi King as our sovereign, by an interpretation of local custom.

Bowed? Perhaps he thought he was in Japan or China where such a greeting is a cultural thing. Otherwise, I’m at a loss for words. How does he regain his presence and authority of position after that? (It surely set a tone for the remainder of the meeting.)

They have a video circulating on the Internet too.
It looks to me that the video was taken from a different angle than the picture. Some are trying to say they were looking at something that dropped on the floor, but the video leaves no doubt that he bowed to the king.
I hear in Hitler's day many stopped making fun of him because his evil was too great to laugh at anymore. Laugh at this two legged cockroach anyways by clicking on the picture. (Huge teleprompter gag thread)
Wow, and he looks like a total Democrat Dork doing it!
Its not even a question of if he bowed or not – of course he did and to lie about it is just plain silly and nefarious.
The real question is why did Obama lie about bowing? If Obama and his administration are willing to lie when they are doing something right in front of the Whole World Watching, then just think how much more so they lie about the big things. The Obama defenders claim this is a “trivial” matter. Ok, lets assume it is. Then why did Obama and his administration lie about a “trivial matter”?
This is knee jerk lying at a pathological level, even besting the Clintons.
So we have firmly established that this president and his administration will lie about ANYTHING to include the very thing he is doing right in front of our faces. Then why should we not then assume he is most certainly lying about major issues such as his Long Form Birth Certificate or whether or not he is even a legal POTUS and not a USURPER.
What is really disturbing about this is that this president and his administration take America to be a bunch of chumps. It’s an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
We can safely assume that anything this “president” and his administration tell us from here on out is one big fat fabrication and lie.
