Obama bows before the (other) one. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S60U-hl35Gw&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S60U-hl35Gw&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Something American Presidents don't do.
It is a sign of respect. Something W had no clue about. Nice try Basso. But your little nit picking is nothing short of comical. Is this really what you have to complain about? Consider yourself blessed!
Don't blame basso. This was the agreed upon Republican talking point for today. basso is just trying to suck up until he can parlay this Clutch BBS posting gig to a sweet job as a columnist for National Review. As long as he posts something like this on the day that Richard Perle happens to be searching the web for some Rocket's BBS discussion time, he is so in.
Then why didn't he bow as deeply to the English Queen? He politely tucked his head a tad after which both he and his wife laid hands on the Queen, a violation of protocol. I'm not much for bowing and scraping to anyone, mind you, but sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Even much, MUCH more menacing was the fact that Obama was overheard greeting the Saudi King with a good ol' "Assalam Alaikom" If that does not prove that he is a closet Muslim sent by the "Muslim Prince" to sabotage and conquer America then I do not know what is. OPEN UP YOUR EYES AMERICA!
Der Messias ist nicht gekommen. Geh! such ihn, such ihn! Er ist in einem Nachen auf dem See von Galilâa...
he Messiah has not come. Go! search him, search him! He is in a barque on the lake of Galilâa... Good use of http://translation2.paralink.com/
I never realized its bad etiquette to bow in front of a foreign dignitary. I see it more as a sign of respect, not subservience.
