White House: No bow to Saudi

The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.
"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

That's a right pretty bow you got there mr. president.

He must have dropped something. Right?

Taller than him? Certainly, but he didn't need to look at the Kings' belly button.

If that is not a bow then what is it? Is he trying to show the Saudi King that he can service him?

An absolute disgrace.

GW, welcome back...
From the video, it's pretty clear he is doing something no other president has ever done before and If he wasn't bowing, he must have been kissing the kings feet. Regardless he has lower the office of the president to a new low...

Well, look at the video. Its clear that he grasps the Saudi King's right hand with his right hand, bows deeply, with his left hand in his lap (crotch?) area and then, after he straightens up he grasps the king's right hand with his left hand also. Go ahead, look at the video again. Freeze it at 55 seconds and you can plainly see his left hand in his lap area and him bowing deeply. Maybe he should have just turned around right then when his was still bent over.

Everybody that compared Obabymama with Carter was wrong. He's worse. And weaker. Now please excuse me while I vomit.

Come on guys, after all the dude is a king. Obama can't wait until people are bowing to him is all.

...and I thought George Bush was the stooge of the Saudi Oil barons according to the Liberals at any rate. I wonder what they are going to say about their President taking a submissive role with the Saudis now???

Thank you. I have been here. It is just tax season has me very busy at the moment, so I have been just stopping in and reading and not much else.

Do they think we are retarded? Stooped because he was taller? He was so far bent over he couldn't see above the belt. Just shut up and ignore your stupid mistake, don't try to tell me it was not a bow! What a vulnerable buffoon! Carter squared.

The sheeple knew what they were getting....the Kumbaya President. I'm sick of him apologizing to the world, seems like in every speech, for the evil things we have done. I just hope the sheeple wake up in 2012, before we become the weak sister of the world.
