Obama bows to Saudi king
Clarice Feldman has the video. You can see (0:50 into the video) that it clearly is a bow:
As I was saying yesterday, Americans do not bow to kings:
One does not bow or curtsy to a foreign monarch because the gesture symbolizes recognition of her power over her subjects.
UPDATE, Friday 3 April
No, Obama wasn’t cleaning the floor when greeting Abdullah

That’s OK. I don’t think he bowed to the Queen.

We really don’t need a rookie for president now. But since we have one, and one that seems to want to lower American influence in the world, we may as well say, “he’s doing a fine job.”

Makes me ill.
Bowing to the queesn would have been much less revolting. This is just pathetic. He got overpowered.

[...] short time Obama has been President of the United States. Regardless of their reasons, it was still not proper for an American President to bow to the Queen. One does not bow or curtsy to a foreign monarch [...]

Doh! That’s what happens when your handlers get their protocol “facts” from Wikipedia.

Well, it could have been worse as he could have committed proskinesis.

Obama lowers the bar with a bow to the Saudi king…
As if it weren’t bad enough that Dubya was getting cozy in his time with the Saudis, now president Obama does something just as disturbing, by bowing to the king. Here’s the video…

Notice no one else bows?

Fausta, skylights is a psychopath libtard who found a photoshopped agitprop canard fashioned by America-hating morons like himself.

Unfortunately it was not a bow it was worse. He is kissing the ring of the Saudi King! As a member of the U.S. Military I can’t help but feel a little sick to my stomach at this.

OBAMA MAY HAS WELL DONE THE KING A LITTLE FAVOR SINCE HE WAS ALREADY DOWN THERE 1111

JANE: “Bowing to the queen would have been much less revolting.”
No, Jane, bowing to the Queen would have been just as revolting. Americans don’t bow to anybody!!!!

I honestly can not believe how wrapped up so many Americans get in such stupid and thoughtless news. The fact that so many people are angry or disturbed by this, is truly what is revolting. Who gives a rats…. Having strong public relations throughout the world is crucial!
