Obama bows down to Saudi King (updated)
Clarice Feldman
I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States.

Update: See Miss Manners on the protocol. Americans do not bow to foreign monarchs because that act signficied the monarch's power over his subjects.
Here is the protocol from the Queen of England's website -- which applies even to her own subjects:
"The Queen meets thousands of people each year in the UK and overseas. Before meeting Her Majesty, many people ask how they should behave. The simple answer is that there are no obligatory codes of behaviour - just courtesy.
However, many people wish to observe the traditional forms of greeting.
For men this is a neck bow (from the head only) whilst women do a small curtsy. Other people prefer simply to shake hands in the usual way.
On presentation to The Queen, the correct formal address is 'Your Majesty' and subsequently 'Ma'am'. "

Can he stay there. . .please? The whole world must be laughing at this fool.

Was there ever a doubt as to who his masters were?

Okay, so Pa Kettle meets the king of Saudi Arabia.
But where's Ma Kettle?
-
The title should have read:
"America's first half-black President acknowledges his master".
:fuelfire:

I'm sure that 0Bamas gift to the Arabs will be much nicer than the one give the Queen. (Israel) :fuelfire:

That beats the wad of bubble gum she found under the seat.

Bows to the king of SA, and his wife pats the back of the Queen of England. Gee, which one of the two do you think they revere the most?
-
Geesh.....he's in the same position I am, when I walk in front of the cross to go into the pew in Church!!!!
A tip of the head would have been one thing....but he's even bending his damn knee!!!!
The guy behind the robed ones..looks to to laughing....what a surprise. :censored:
-
What, no chest bump? :whatever:

Are all you ladies shopping for burqas yet? We know of at least one 0bama appointee that has no problem with sharia law. Harold Koh (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/31/obamas-appointment-koh-state-department-legal-adviser-stirs-controversy/)

A bow like that in Muslim culture means that the person bowing is subservient to the person they are bowing to.
I see this being used as propaganda in terrorist camps around the world.
-
The title should have read:
"America's third half-assed President acknowledges his master".
Kinda fixt.
-
I say again, either he is really utterly ignorant of the ME Muslim Customs, and so are his advuisors, OR he knows full well what they are and what he does.
Every day he steps closer to actual treason, in my opinion.
-
The President of the USA sticking his ass out like that...how classy. What a stupid fool.

The more I look at that picture, the more it looks as if he is kissing a ring on the hand.
-
He clearly bows his admission of servitude in the video posted at the link.
-
Oh, he kissed the ring. I have no idea what the hell the commentator's saying here, but he does (Sark passes). About 50 seconds in:

At least they're not holding hands. :whatever:
Un****ingbelievable.
-
He did not bow before the Queen of England.
obama knew exactly what he was doing. The Black Widow wasn't present because she knows her place as a subservient woman in the Muslim world.
-
Chris, among Arabs, the males holding hands are symbols of equals /brothers/close realatives imparting things of significance to each other. From such simple things as non-competitive friendship to the fate of the world.
GWB was well briefed, BHO WAS NOT.....or understands exactly what he has done.
This is far more important than we chose to publically acknowledge here.
And then there's the G-20 fiasco ....blame America first.... again.
