Sorry, why is whether Obama bowed to the Saudi King an issue again?

Naw, the issue is that one of you diseased Yankee types touched her madge!

Isn't bigdamnnobody supposed to pop up and talk about how "at least the right-wingers are picking stuff more substantial to go after Obama about". You have to say that a bow to some foreign dignitary is certainly more substantial than an illegal wiretrap...

I'm enjoying being proven right...

Not that we hate Bush, JS, but fair-minded people should point out the irony of rapo castigating Obama for something that Bush himself has done.

Wouldn't you agree?

I tried to find the MOST equivalent pictures I could. I think I succeeded.

I'm just pointing out Rap's hypocrisy. That's all.

Well Rue and Signy, I have to say that you win this round. It's a silly attack on Obama. There's nothing wrong, honestly, with Obama bowing, or shaking hands, or whatever. None of that really matters to me at all. It's a very weak argument against Obama. My ilk should have plenty of other things to be far more concerned about. I take some jabs at the guy in jest, but I have not yet sunk to the hate-Obama level as many on my side have. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, I can think of LOTS of cosequential things to be pissed at Obama for. Funny thing is, they're mostly being pointed out by the left.

In response to Rue's photo's

The first one . . . bowing . . . kinda to a religious leader . . . not so bad.

Second one . . . obviously being presented a medal of some kind and he's looking down at it . . . that's okay.

Third one . . . I think I heard somewhere it's a custom in the Middle East for men to hold hands . . . don't know why . . . still iffy . . . looks odd . . . but okay . . . kinda.

Fourth one . . . a simple game of "Duck, Duck, Goose" and the lady was obviously upset that he chose her as the goose. Don't you guys see that?

Fifth one . . . I got nothin'.

Yeah, but you have to remember that Rappo and his li'l crew of sockpuppets around here never REALLY liked Bush in the first place! They only called him the greatest American President in history to be nice; they never really meant it.

By the way, Jongsy... isn't it about time for you to whip out the old "But...but...but CLINTON! But CARTER! But FDR!!!" card yet again? Seems your hate knows no bounds, either. Nor does your love for Bush. Are you just jealous that he wasn't holding YOUR hand, kissing YOUR lips?



Wow - those two should get a room!
