Should Obama be bowing to a Saudi King?

[Mani]

This is an absolute non-issue. And for the record, so was Bush's smooch.

The White House completely bullshitting the public is not an issue?


Wow, you must not have minded the Iraq war then.

LOL, I didn't really care about this issue but after seeing the video how can the lackeys at the White House deny it was a bow? The amateurish nature of this administration is starting to become alarming.....it would have been much better had they simply admitted he screwed things up....but to lie about it thinking people are stupid and will believe them although the video shows otherwise? I know they have grown accustomed to lying after all the hope and change campaign talk.....but now it's time for straight talk.

The saudi royal family are slave masters! the arabs were first to enslave blacks. Obama is a tool.

Find me a single administration in the history of this country that hasn't bullshitted the public about something or another. There are varying levels of bullshit, and some are just not worth caring about. Comparing this to lying about Iraq is just ridiculous.

It's ridiculous that they are lying about a fucking bow...the video leaves no doubt but the jackasses still came up with a convoluted excuse about the height differential between the two men.....if he bowed any further he'd be kissing the king's feet.

Once again, the right seizes on the trivial, to fail to understand it and make a phony issue.

Bevasue it's not like there are actual issues.

There are protocols for these sort of things, the White House and State Department have the staff to sort it out, and no one is slighted. It's the least of the concerns with the Saudis.

For real concerns, watch the following excellent Frontline from tonight on the topic of corporate corruption focusing on the England-Saudi arms deals.

It's about the Blair government approving bribery of billions, and blocking the government's own investigation. It probably deserves its own thread.

Do you think he will bow to adminawackjob also?
I think it (Saudis) was a protocal breech as opposed to a crises personally.

true, its lame to deny that it wasn't a bow, when it obviously was.

I am curious what the left hand is doing in this administration while they distract us with the right hand over this insignificant situation? What legislation\spending did Obama ram through when we were busy looking elsewhere?

I think you are mixing up your pronouns. "while THEY distract us over this insignificant sitution".... Surely you don't mean the admin hyped this bow thing up to draw fire? THEY can only refer to the right wing nutters freaking out over this and making it front page news on red state websites. Meanwhile, when asked about it, the WH sarcastically said "I'm sure with the economic situation going on that the american people are really concerned about this. Have anything important you want to talk about?"

Just maybe it's the right distracting you with this "story" because they have nothing else to talk about?

By denying it happened they(the admin) opened the door for further continuence of an insigificant issue.

I havent paid attention to this story one bit because I care less whether he bowed to the Saudi's or not. I just interjected into this conversation because there seems to be a subtle pattern of this administration brilliantly letting the talking heads on the right run with insigificant things while they pass new legislation\spending.

So you guys are wound up about an anonymous aide spinning the bow? You guys really need to get out more if this is the kind of shit that riles you up so much.

BO could show up with a turd over each shoulder and one on his head, the WH press would ask why its an issue and the leftists on this forum would defend him and dam anyone who says otherwise.Amusing.

When you don't have much to work with, you work with what you got. In this case, a bow.

Meanwhile, the latest Gallup Poll has Obama's approval ratings up a point to 63%, so that bow has really put the hurt on him, as his approval ratings might have gone up even more.

So you're saying that Obama should bow more often? :laugh:

it's a protocol thing. in some neighborhoods, it's "give me some skin", the hand slap.

in France, it's the kiss on the hand or the double air kiss on the cheek. which i heard BHO had some trouble adjusting to, went for the handshake instead.

in S. Arabia, it's the bow.

so what ?

We get multiple Palin threads it seems like every week. I don't see how this one about the current POTUS bowing to a foreign king is that absurd.
