6. I guess if we want to keep driving our cars he has to do something
 So to me a bow is far less offensive than holding hands or swapping spit with the guy.

24. I would rather have him shake hands with the King and say how do you do.
 You know, like adults who don't know each other usually do.

What a bizarre choice--bow and scrape, or kiss?

Please. Americans do not bow to kings. Or curtsy to Queens.

Rather strange sentiments for those under "the big diversity umbrella."  Seeing two men hold hands and kiss is disgusting?  I guess it's only beautiful when they are in skimpy leather and bleeding from their "affectionate caresses?"   ::)

Or maybe they're just upset that Pres. Bush flowed through all the weird protocol with class, while Pres. Obama is managing to insult everyone and completely embarrass the US?  :(

The difference that teh DUmmies will NEVER understand...is that one is proper protocol..the other is not.

All the DUmies are doing with that thread is letting their inner homophobe run free.

That is much better than seeing their inner homos run free.  :hammer:

Amazing that the OP pointed out that the first pic was photoshopped yet they all continue to remark as if it actually happened. 

Cross to Dracula = Truth to DUmmies.

Aren't the holding-hands pics the ones taken while two-term Republican President George W. Bush was walking/stabilizing the old Saudi guy around the uneven ground on the Bush property?
