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.
The Washington Times called the alleged bow a "shocking display of fealty to a foreign potentate" and said it violated centuries of American tradition of not deferring to royalty. The Weekly Standard, meanwhile, noted that American protocol apparently rules out bowing, or at least it reportedly did on the occasion of a Clinton "near-bow" to the emperor of Japan.

Yes, the White House is out and out lying to the American People, but the left is still defending 0Bama and disbelieving their own eyes.

I guess it depends on what your definition of bow is. :whatever:
-
Hmm...
Height doesn`t seem important here for some reason.

That was all I found from a google image search,no initial meeting or greeting with the Queen.
These events are choreographed to the nanosecond so that I doubt that picture of Obama bowing was a random,off the cuff shot.
It was deliberate imo and a miscalculation in the extreme aimed at islamists.
They have more brains then O and will regard it as a pandering sign of weakness.
-
I think even the left realizes that a bow like that is a bad thing, which is why they are trying so hard to deny what their own eyes are showing them.
-
I had posted earlier that the complete lack of knowledge of protocols showed the scary ineptness of the O team in organizing these events.
More convinced of that now then before...a political show is what they aim for rather then diplomacy or international relations.
They simply don`t care what reality is,they think the world is the fawning press and mush minded idolaters that they met on the campaign trail.

:rotf:
This is oh so laughable to claim that "the messiah" was attempting to compensate for the height difference.
It's more like "the messiah" bowing down to the leader of muslims.
As Americans we should NEVER bow down to anyone - period.

The truth is that he dropped his crackberry and was bending down to pick it up.

White House: No bow to Saudi
White House: Please buy our Bullshit.
I hope bowing becomes a fad to mock that Jug-eared Jihadist. "Pig piss be upon you O Servant of Allah".

Yeah, Ma and Pa Kettle meet H.M. the Queen and H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh.
Crass meets class.

In the event that even lying socialists can occasionally tell the truth I decided to check out the video again. Sure enough, 0 is taller than the king. Sure enough, 0 does appear to grasp the kings hand with two hands. The problem is that the only way this would matter is if 0 arms are only about 12" long.

that's gonna leave a mark...

I am just astounded. We have videos of the bow. The white house lie is obvious, but the media goes along with it.
I think its time we changed the phrase, "Main Stream Media" to "The Ministry for Propaganda."
-
Lemme see if i got this straight:
The king is shorter than Dear Leader so Dear Leader bows...
...so deeply that the person he's trying to accomodate has to look down?
-
I wonder if King Abdullah has noticed he's missing a wristwatch now. :-)
-
For crying out loud. If you look at the video he bows so deeply it almost looks as if he is going to 'take a knee'.
To coin an 'O' phrase;
"They must think you're stupid!"

Newest "explanations" from the WH Press Office...
The teleprompter fell over.
His contact fell out.
He dropped his Newports on the carpet.
He wanted to see if Saudis wear the same "ugly assed" Bruno Maggli shoes (^5 if you get that reference.)

Bullshit. Bullshit! BULLSHIT!!! Obama's left hand does not leave his side until AFTER the bow. You can see it very clearly in this video:
[youtube=425,350]9WlqW6UCeaY[/youtube]
0:02 - Obama approaches the king
0:02-0:03 - Obama bows
0:03-0:04 - Obama's left hand can clearly be seen hanging down at his side
0:04 - Obama straightens up and then the left hand comes up
-
Okay, so it wasn't a bow, then it must have been obama attempting to give the king a MONICA. :rotf:

I just watched the video. Up until now I had only seen the still images. OMFG! Do they really think we're not gonna call that a freakin bow??? My husband leaned over and said, "well I doubt he was scraping his foot across the carpet to shock him!" :-)
-
Hang in there pal; you'll be okay.

Anyone got a time machine so I can go back and have never asked the question?
-
Not even Gibbells can get through explaining it without laughing.
"No No No...He didn't bow....really."

I saw that earlier. Combine that with Hillary laughing about the pirate situation and 0Bama giggling about the economy about a week or so ago, and I think we have a case for drug testing this administration.

There is an easy way to respond to the White House...Get a snapshot of Obummer shaking hands with anyone shorter than him. Let's see how they match up...

It's been done. The Queen of England is much shorter and he didn't bow when shaking her hand. :) The Dems lie like the cheap Persian rugs they pray on. :fuelfire:

O - Bow- Ma O- Bow- Ma O- Bow- Ma :bow: :bow: :bow:

O - Bow- Ma O- Bow- Ma O- Bow- Ma :bow: :bow: :bow:
and that, my fellow revolutionaries, deserves a hi-5.
