Miller Time is usually good on Fox News, but Dennis Miller was in rare form during this segment. I was nearly crying with laughter a couple of times.
Apparently President Obama’s handlers have come up with an excuse to try and “explain” his very obvious deep bow to the king of Saudi Arabia last week: he was reaching down to shake the king’s hand.
You know, I’m getting my leg pulled so much lately I feel the need to turn myself into an arachnid because I’m running out of other legs to pull.
I’ve shaken hands with a lot of people–my size, taller, shorter–and I’ve never bowed to the waist like that to do it–nor have I seen anyone else do so…other than someone bowing in subservience to royalty.

the same people who expect us to believe that was not a BOW expect us to believe they know how to defend the USA against all enemies foreign and domestic
someone bowing in subservience to royalty
And it should be apparent to everyone that that is exactly what he did.
BOW?!?!?!?!
He damned near genuflected!
The same ones who tell us Obama isn’t a radical marxist ineligible quisling
Obama bowed to his King!
The only time I've gotten that low to shake someone's hand was when it was a four year old. I like how someone (maybe in the White House) used the term "diminutive" for the Saudi King, like he was a midget rather than someone around 5'6" to 5'8".
They are scared that this is beginning to stick. It is pounding right on Alinsky's rules 5 and 12:
RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
You are so right. Look at the video taken from behind, he was GOING DOWN ON ONE KNEE! O’Reilly is a pompous, hostile, fool if he can’t see the folly in this ridiculous gesture on Obama’s part. Ridiculous surely, and quite probably dangerous as well.
they are also the same people who tell us they are cutting the deficit by writing a $3.6 trillion dollar one year budget
King Abdullah is not just any royalty. Part of his official title is, “Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.”
Hey, if a bow is a gesture of subservience, does that mean that King Abdullah is officially above the Messiah’s “pay grade”?
Just askin’...because it poses important questions for the 2012 election: I want to throw in with the circus owner, not the clown in the center ring.
ABDULLAH/SULTAN ‘12!!!
As for myself, I think Obama’s bow was just him being a wise ass. Not to mock the king, but a sort of “I’m so cool, I’m giving the king a bow.”
He’s just a dumbass who can’t conduct himself on the fly. People should start to realize we’ve a two bit, three card monte dealing, ghetto hustler as President.
Obama LOVES royalty.
A rather un-American trait!
LOL. Obama invents the Bowtsey. Half bow half curtsy. Very metro ya know.
Maybe he was just thanking the man ?.......
Obama has been educated in a madrassa school in Indonesia. If you’re not familiar with that term, it’s a type of fundamentalist Muslim school, often funded by the extremist Wahabi sect of Islam (with Saudi money) and often very anti-American.
Just sayin’
It wasn’t a bow, he was on his way to kiss the kings ring and the king waved him off
bflv
