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

Rue, now you're as insincere as the White House when you say he wasn't bowing toward the king. He had his hand in his own hand, and was standing right in front of him.

Presidents don't bow. Especially to Muslim Kings.

Unless you're Barry. Who " use to be " a Muslim.

Hey, if you want to say the Emperor is wearing clothes, have at it. I'll not be a part of your delusional game.

"Rue, now you're as insincere as the White House when you say he wasn't bowing toward the king."

No. At first it seemed like an awkward bow. In order to try and see what caught my eye, why did it look so awkward, I looked at it closely, frame by frame. Obama clearly heads to the left and the king turns to face the same direction Obama is facing. They both face towards a third person who is nearly hidden from view.

But I still wonder WHY YOU CARE about whatever Obama does, when everything Bush did that was so egregious got a pass.

If I told you that at Bush's WH parties there was much mutual group public groping between Condi and others, would you care ? Does it matter that Bush kissed Prince Abdullah (now king) on the lips and held his hand like a schoolgirl ? Does it matter that at the time, while Abdullah was still Muslim, he was only a prince ?

What's with the double standard, dude ?

No double standard here, you're trying to change the subject. EVERYONE saw him bow. Even Muslim journalist said the exact same thing. He bowed! Stop trying make excuses and first admit that he bowed.

Do that, and then I can go on about ancient history.

Not gonna say what I'm not sure is true.

But, go look for yourself. Don't take ANYONE'S word for it - not even Rush's. Check it out - frame by frame. Then tell us what YOU think.

i saw the video, i saw the still pics, HE BOWED! There's absolutely no other possible explanation. He was shaking the Kings hand w/ 1 hand, and bowing to him.

Oh, then in that case, you meant journalists, not "journalist". You meant the plural, but typed the singular.

Just sayin'.

I can't believe I called you on something and you proved me wrong. Uh, guess it's time to go on another grammatical attack to try to deflect.

For the record: I think it was a bow, and I think it was a simple protocol gaffe. Like Bush bowing to the Pope... unless maybe Bush was really saying "DOOOOD! Check out that Papal RING!" And the WH would of course deny it bc they don't like to admit mistakes.

Really, don't you have anything ELSE to complain about? Why don't you complain about Obama shoveling money at the rich? Or claiming "State Secrets" on Bush's wiretapping? You're making a rather large issue out of nothing, and dreaming up all sorts of conspiracies about something that doesn't friggn' matter.
