Bush Smooched, Held His Hand, Now Obama Bows to Him: Our Saudi Oil/Terrorism Overlord
Debbie Schlussel —
By Debbie Schlussel
It was bad enough when we had to endure the homo-erotic smooching and hand-holding of Saudi King Abdullah by President Bush. Now, we've got current Prez Barack Hussein Obama bowing down to him . . . officially acknowledging our oil slavery to the Islamic Kingdom.
Disgusting. Oh, and don't forget how "our allies" the Saudis had Imad Mughniyeh, the Hezbollah terrorist mastermind of the Marine barracks bombings and the TWA 847 hijackings and let him go, despite U.S. please. ...
What On Earth Was The President Thinking?
Dean's World —
Oops:
I hope somebody has informed the White House that the President of the United States should never bow to any monarch.
I suppose it’s possible he’d recently been dealing with Japanese or Chinese dignitaries and wasn’t thinking clearly at the moment, but… dude!
Fauxrage Watch: Obama Bows. America Doomed.
The Moderate Voice —
You may not be aware of it unless you follow the correct news sources, but America’s best days are behind her. We sit disgraced and dismissed by proper nations after our virtual submission to our betters by the President of the United States, who is apparently a clueless loser. Yes, my friends, worse has come to worst because Barack Obama bowed at the waist while meeting King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. (Should you wish to watch the downfall of America, you may do so on YouTube here.)
Fortunately for all of us, the guardians of American excellence, dignity and exceptionalism are ever vigilant! And now, to the ...
If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Strasbourg
The American Spectator —
The Obama Watch If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Strasbourg By Lisa Fabrizio on 4.8.09 @ 6:07AM Barack Obama is now in the second week of his second overseas tour in less than a year. Not content with being the President of the United States, it seems, the chosen one has seen fit to share his oratorical munificence with the rest of humanity. Right before his last trip across the pond, where he oddly sought American votes, he famously said: "It's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and all we can say is 'merci beaucoup.'" Well, some of us ...
White House says Obama didn't bow to the Saudi King
Jihad Watch —
Judge for yourself
Libelblogger Charles Johnson of the once-worthwhile site Little Green Footballs, careless with the facts as ever, has claimed that Bush also bowed to the Islamic supremacist monarch. In reality, Bush didn't. But it is certainly true that Obama is not the first U.S. President to kowtow to the masters of our energy fortunes, and over the years we criticized Bush here many times for doing so.
Still, there is enormous symbolic value in bowing to the King, as even the Obama administration is apparently ...
White House: Obama Did Now Bow To That Guy. King Abdullah
Ace of Spades HQ —
White House: Obama Did Now Bow To That Guy. King Abdullah Really guys, this is your story ? "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. The video is below the fold. Obama's left hand is clearly on his leg while bowing. So exactly how many hands does Obama have? BTW- The whole Obama is taller thing? No sale. I'm 6"5' (real world, not fakey internet height). I'm taller than a good 90% or so of people and I've never bowed low enough to check out a guys package while shaking his hand.
It depends on what the meaning of “bow” means

White House Doubles Down On Lie: Obama Didn’t Bow To King Abdullah

Obama doubles down on the bow to the Saudi King
American Thinker —
Over three hundred years ago, another world civilization accustomed to being the largest and richest on earth, faced a challenge which turned into a clash, which turned into a fall. China, the Middle Kingdom, unquestioned as the dominant nation of East Asia, came into regular contact with the Western nations. At the time, the only pattern of diplomatic relations recognized by the Son of Heaven (China's emperor) and his court was that of tributary emissaries to the Middle Kingdom. Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the other nations of East Asia understood and accepted that China was dominant, and when their representatives came to Beijing, they performed the required ...
White House Shrugs Off Obama’s Bow to Saudi King
CNSNews.com Headlines —
(CNSNews.com) The White House on Thursday offered a sarcastic response to yet another question about President Barack Obama bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia at the G20 summit last week. Did he bow or didn t he? a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Thursday. No, I think he bent over with both hands to shake his hand, Gibbs said. No, interjected the reporter -- the video shows Obama shaking with one hand. Gibbs noted that the two men met a week ago. Yes, but Obama s apparent bow to Saudi King Abdullah is still in the news, the reporter told Gibbs. I can only imagine it is of great cause and concern for many people struggling ...
Bows, Lies and Videotape
Pundits Blog —
Bows, Lies and Videotape ( Stuart Roy ) The White House head of protocol or maybe the social secretary will have to tell you whether or not it is proper for the president of the United States to bow to a monarch of another country. Or maybe the experts at the State Department who’ve proven so adept at the whole protocol thing could shed some light on the situation. It doesn’t seem right to this humble blogger for POTUS to bow to another head of state, but leave that to the experts. There is a topic, however, that I happen to know a bit about, and that is communications and media relations. And in this one, the White House has allowed ...
Obama’s Abominable Obeisance: Cultural Perspectives
Pajamas Media —
In the ancient world and throughout much of the Middle East today, bowing is just about the worst thing someone can do. [image] Is Obama’s deep bow (with slightly bent knee) to the Saudi king as bad as it seems? The White House, apparently forgetful that we live in the Internet age, where everything is swiftly documented and disseminated ...
Obama Bashes the US ‘Round the World…
GayPatriot —
Buried in heavy wet snow at HQ this evening (and almost trapped at SOUTHCOM today), I took some time and caught up with our Dear Leader and his backpacking trips throughout the world as of late.
Fresh off his stop south of the border where he blamed the drug mafia’s overrunning of a clearly impotent and/or corrupt Mexican government inexplicably on US gun laws, he followed on to the Carribian to attend the Summit of the Americas.
As an aside, by the way, the photo of him greeting yet another America-hater, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is an interesting juxtaposition, don’t you think, with that of our then-First Lady cum Senate ...
After Chavez photo, Ortega rant, Republicans say Obama acting like pushover to dictators
Top of the Ticket —
Bad enough, in conservative thinking, that President Obama appeared to bow to Saudi King Abdullah during the G-20 meetings in Europe earlier this month.
Now, Republican critics are pouncing on the president for his charm offensive at the just-concluded Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago. The charge: He let Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez maneuver him into a smiling one-on-one photo, and he failed to answer Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega's 50-minute anti-American rant.

Forty years ago this spring, Navy Lt. John Kerry returned home from Vietnam.

Remember the video I posted, recently, showing Barack Hussein Obama bowing down so enthusiastically to Saudi King Abdullah that his Presidential ass was in the air?
Well, all that bending over predictably didn't merit anything but a diss in return.

"Obama Really Isn't That Funny"
Ace of Spades HQ —
"Obama Really Isn't That Funny" Yeah, one of our resident geniuses said that in the Letterman thread. But it's not alone in feeling that way. Late night comedy writers are at a loss as to what to do now that the living God is in the White House. Well, we've been beating up on these guys a lot here lately so I thought in the spirit of goodwill, I'd help point them in the right direction and collect a few of Obama's greatest hits. Obama invents a new language , gives a cheesy gift to the UK Prime Minister that doesn't even work and of course the gift that gave the I in iPod a whole new meaning . I am also sure that if Bush ...
When Chief Justice John Roberts was a vox clamans in terris... about Michael Jackson.
Althouse —
"I recognize that I am something of a vox clamans in terris in this area, but enough is enough. The Office of Presidential Correspondence is not yet an adjunct of Michael Jackson’s PR firm. 'Billboard' can quite adequately cover the event by reproducing the award citation and/or reporting the President’s remarks. (As you know, there is very little to report about Mr. Jackson’s remarks.) There is absolutely no need for an additional presidential message. A memorandum for Presidential Correspondence objecting to the letter is attached for your review and signature." ...
Islam Bashers Repent
American Thinker —
What does it take to make Islam bashers mend their ways? Why don't these folks come to their senses and see Islam as a religion of peace and praise the God of Abraham for continuing his beneficence on humanity by sending Muhammad to guide and humanize us? Why is it that some people keep criticizing a religion that has nearly 1.5 billion followers throughout the world? Now, if this faith was indeed what its detractors claim it is, wouldn't these masses of people see though it and dump it? Didn't our very own President go around the Muslim heartland and sing the praises of Islam at every stop? Didn't he bow with great deference to the King of Islam in Saudi ...
