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

Spin, boy, SPIN!

So basically what you're saying is that a black person can't do anything right, simply because they're black?

Seems about your speed.



Mean Joe Green did right when he offered that little kid his jersey after gulping down that coke.

That was awesome!

But Citizen, I digress. What was it you were saying about being proven right?


I was talking about something completely unrelated to you here, but nevertheless on what I was talking about, I keep being proven right again and again and again.

Did not say anything about threads regarding illegal wiretaps, that's your strawman.


Hmm, what I remember you saying was that all the threads critiquing Bush were less substantial. I remember a much broader brush, but paint it your way. I'm sure that you were equally outraged over Bush's sex pest approaches of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel .

As did I, and look how I've been proven right. Auraptor, who couldn't stand any sort of criticism of George Bush Junior, is now posting threads almost daily about how Obama is a big stupid head and has a smelly butt.

But, but Clinton... has now been replaced with but, but Bush... I find that not humorous or hypocritical at all.


I'm not doing such a thing, and I don't think Rue is either to be fair. I think Rue is doing what Rue said Rue was doing, that is highlighting the hypocrisy of those that defended Bush for everything, and attack Obama for everything.

I was merely pointing out that those that say "at least the criticism of Obama is more substantial than that of Bush" are missing one big fact:
It really isn't.

Besides Bush ate Kittens, I have proof:

Did Barry bow, out of respect, to the Queen of England? She's 5'4".

The answer is no.

He and the W.H. Are lying. The question is " why "?

Think before you answer.

So, Rap

What you're saying is Bush can bow to anyone, can hold hands with men, even kiss them on the lips, and grope a female head of state at a meeting - and it's ALL OK ! with you.

Think before you answer.

No one on the 'left' (which is actually slightly right of middle) made any case against Bush for holding hands, kissing, bowing, or groping.

So, the situations aren't quite the same.

I just find the level of hypocrisy to be quite high, and worth pointing out.

Well, Bush bowed to the POPE for god's sake! So CLEARLY our Army is now part of the Vatican Guard!

The Obama Bow, plus CNN censoring Nazi King Phillip's insult to Obama's stupidity:



The US president is subservient to his international bankster overloads, as are all non-royal heads of state.
