I telling you, the MSM is not going to touch this. They WILL COVER for Obama.

Well, at least the Kansas City Star is covering it! That’s ONE U.S. paper! This is so pathetic...

Australia's ABC News had this item from 2005 about King Abdullah telling his subjects not to bow before or kiss the hand of any royalty there -- so the Obamanation is more subservient before the Saudi King than ANY Saudi subject is supposed to be.

I wonder if any Aussie FReepers could try to get ABC to do a follow-up on this subject since it so clearly touches on a story they reported previously. Might be a long shot, but we need some media to start picking it up and get it into the mediastream.

Saudi King Tells His Own Subjects to Bow Only Before Allah

New Saudi King Abdullah has effectively banned citizens from kissing his hand or that of any member of the royal family, saying only fathers and mothers deserved such reverence.

“Brothers, there is something on my mind I want to tell you,” King Abdullah told delegations of princes, officials and ordinary citizens at his palace in the Red Sea city of Jeddah.

“Kissing hands is something alien to our values and ethics, and is refused by free and honest souls,” he said, quoted by the official SPA news agency.

“Moreover, it leads to bowing, which violates God’s law as the faithful bows only to the one and only God."
