Alright, where is the video then?

What do you need Obama to teach you how to do a search.. Google it.. Its so simple even a Democrat could do it!

Well generally if you're going to make a thread about a pic or video, you include the said pic or video so that we'll know the context.

It really riles the right that there is a President who goes abroad and does not have burning effigies of them huh?

Isn't that within "protocol?" Like addressing foreign military officers by their rank, even though they hold no authority as far as America is concerned. Or calling a Bishop "your excellency" even if you aren't a Catholic.

I agree Obama shouldn't have bowed. It was a stupid gaffe, but not a sign of any secret closeted Islam.

Protocol? We shouldn't follow this vile system.

"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.

LOL what a bunch of bullshit.

If Americans at large were capable of distinguishing the symbolism of what Obama did versus submissively prostrating oneself we wouldn't need the White House to spin anything.

I didn't make a thread about the video or a picture. I made a thread about the action of bowing to a foreign king. Most of the time people respond to the topic of the thread and don't argue about how to find a picture or video of it.

Again, context matters. A bow could be a head nod, a bow at the waist, or a kowtow. But i guess coming from a conservative, context doesn't matter, everything is black and white, RIGHT OR WRONG!

A bow to 'royalty' is always wrong. There is nothing right about honoring these inbreds.

How about you educate yourself on the issue instead of whining about not having a pic or video in the thread. It's an obvious bow to any RATIONAL person - thus the OP asked the question on whether BHO should be bowing to the saudi king. Sheesh.

You can do a google search for a million videos or pictures of it. But should the President of the United States be bowing to ANY foreign leader? He didn't do it to the Queen of England but does it to a Saudi King? Seems to me to be sending the message that we are beneath the Saudi's.. also seems to fit with Obama's 'Blame America First' theme we saw in Europe.

Pretty sad if you ask me.. I know the first thing that will probably be mentioned is Bush's kissing of the King.. which I also think was inappropriate, but its pretty clear Bush did not think he was below the King.. but taken in context, with Obama apologizing for all of America's failings.. this seems pretty pathetic.

You're such a whiny little bitch. At least he didn't hold King Saud's hand like Bush did.

At best he looks about 3-4" taller.

LOL! Boy you guys sure are sensitive now that your man has been out of office, and it's only been a couple of months!

You don't need to get your panties in a bunch, i found a pic the president bowing. Too bad it was Bush and he was doing it to the Pope. But i guess that's alright since the Pope is not brown?

Not to mention that you can see one of his hands on his thigh as he bows. Unless Obama has three hands he didn't grasp Abdullah's hand with two hands.

There's a world of difference between the Pope and "King" Abdullah.

BTW, is it okay to mock Presidents for showing respect to the Pope, now? It wasn't back in 1960 . . .

No need to keep apologizing for Bush, he's no longer in office.

He bowed his head, it looks more like a blessing, and whether you believe in the Catholic Church or not, the Pope is considered an earthly representative of God, versus Obama bowing deeply to a King, a representative of a country. There is precious little correlation between these two incidents.

If Obama is going to the suck the proverbial 'johnson' of all these foreign leaders.. why don't we just have them govern us instead of wasting the salary on Obama who is just going to do whats in the best interest of France, Germany, and Saudi Arabia?

This from the idiot who tried to blame this on racism. Good job troll.

The whole Saudi family goes against everything that liberals stand for.

And conservatives too, one would hope.

This is a non-issue. Under US law, the President is not sovereign. So unlike if, say, the British queen were to bow to the Saudi king, this did NOT symbolize the people or the govt of the US paying homage, and was simply the act of an individual.
Don't beg for your own e-whipping by arguing otherwise.

Of course to you it's a troll! For your boy is on the hot seat on this one! The SOB bowed because he's so used to doing it when he was still a muslim! Of course, that is something you don't want to hear so we'll call it a TROLL! And you and the WH can call it reaching, like the rest of us Americans are so damn stupid like you! Get a life dude!

Are you talking to yourself here? You're all worked up about the most trivial thing in US politics today, and justifying that with a conspiracy theory only subscribed to by idiots. So I seriously doubt it's me who needs to get a life here.

Yaknow, a few years ago, I used to make fun of the bitter whackos on the left here. Yet now, after November's election, I'm finding their bitter whackiness didn't hold a freakin' candle to the bitter whackiness of today's wingnut crazies. And what bothers me most about that is the fact that there is nothing more UN-conservative than being a whackjob. To me, conservatism is a philosophy of reason, of rational caution, of 'look before you leap' mentality. The perfect balance to the kneejerk 'quick! pass a law!' so-called 'bold' ultra-progressivism that frequently dominates the left. So when I see "conservatives" like yourself, nothing more than knee-jerk reactionaries in disguise (as conservatives), my first thought is that you'd quit passing yourself off as something that you're not.
