I thought you didn’t shake with your left hand in that culture as it’s used for unclean things...
“You take the other guy’s hand and pay homage by touching it to your forehead.”
You can’t prove that from the picture.
‘.. he was looking to see if the king left any money lying at his feet...’
hmm, I was thinking along the same lines ...only, I think I’m much more cynical...my bad thought was.....
he was bending down to pick up his 40 pieces of silver.
Tonight on Greta van Sustrin, as she began to speak to Gingrich, they showed a video of obama with the troops. He actually does "drop" something on the ground and obama picks it up. The two maneuvers were very, very distinguishable. I wish I knew how to juxtapose those two videos for you but I am computer illiterate.
The whole point is, the obama people had to confabulate, reflexly, to play to a certain crowd. Just tell us the truth obama. Just the truth.
I've searched 20+ pages of Google Image Search for Obama + shaking hands, and there is no bowing, no matter how short the hand-shakee.
Unless you count this, when the adoring throng is in the mosh pit. And this is still not as deep as what King Abdullah got.
We need to post a reward for a photograph of Obama bowing to the same degree to shake the hands of any U.S. Citizen.
The video and alas the instant replay judges that review the bow or handshake; you can clearly see that Obama’s hand follows the BOW to the double handshake...the O’s regime LIE!
‘..That looks like a bow to me....’
absolutely. knee is bent....almost like when getting ready to genuflect.
Larry Sinclair’s book comes out on the 15th. Nice Tea Party book reading event lol.
But you know, the Saudi King looks at our President and sees someone almost worthy to clean his sewers. Sheeezz.
First Carter, then Clinton and now this Closet moslem queer.
Had flashbacks of being in the back of a limo with Larry Sinclair.
It was clearly a bow.

He wasn’t hunching over to look at the Saudi King.
0bozo looked straight *down* at the ground, as he bowed. The King it might be noted, didn’t so much as nod.
He knew he was on the receiving end of an international act of submission. Couldn’t be clearer.
Now that 0bozo’s “apologize to the world” tour is wrapping up, let’s see - if he apologizes to America for that humiliating bow.
A few of us said it in jest. It's a Catholic tradition when meeting the Pope to bow while kissing his ring.
But who really knows if Obama kissed 'anything'?
There is your problem. Obama has buddies at Google. They are quick to filter out any searches that might impune the messiah. Fortunately, they aren't the only search engine on the web.
He has been kissing A$$ all week. Hardly an "executive" worthy of respect. Nobody made him put on the submissive act. It was his choice...and out embarrassment.
“You take the other guy’s hand and pay homage by touching it to your forehead.”
You can’t prove that from the picture.”
The angle of incidence of 0bama’s extended arm & head/eye versus the angle of reflection of the Saudi king’s extended arm and gaze started me looking. I remembered all those old movies of Arabs greeting each other with the bowing and touching of foreheads, e.g., “Lawrence of Arabia,” and remembered making ‘salaam.’ No, it’s not in the picture, but, frankly, I don’t think it has to be. NO President of the US has ever physically bowed at the waist to any other sitting national leader prior to this moment in history. Had ANY Pubbie done this, it would be something even a WH presser could not gloss over or deny. The impeachment papers would be up and in Congress before the day would have ended.

If they lie about this : What else will they lie about??????
Obama Bow:
Someone might want to tell the liars at the WHite House that the Queen is shorter than the Saudi King.
There was an highly inappropriate animated GIF posted on FR regarding that bow.
Hey, Salaam is also the name of Canada's Queer Muslim Community !
"I just hope this revolting, humiliating display by Obama was the ignorant blunder of a naive fool who doesn't know what it means to be a real American, and not the deliberate salaam of a closet Muslim greeting his lord and master."
Now you've got it.
