it wasn't a bow.............

[AnnECUCherry]

so what was he doing..............

Dunno...but whatever it was, it wouldn't be considered "bowing" in Islamic culture, nor would it be considered "subservient".

so bending at the waist when greeting someone is not a bow.....got it.....

Who cares? It's irrelevant whether he did or not.

I'm just waitin' around for the "Obama is a secret Jew" thread, starring the same right-wing crackpots who brought us:

I think this was a rookie mistake. Obama is new at the job and probably didn't know protocol. I mean, we should ALL be bowing to Saudi Arabia anyway - they fucking own us. If Saudi Arabia decided tomorrow that they no longer want to supply the US with oil, our entire economy would collapse in a second. Now THAT's power.

thus you are admitting that he was totally unprepared for this job

Uh, no. I am admitting he didn't know proper protocol for greeting a foreign King. Running a country and knowing how to greet someone properly are two different things.

Lucky I wasn't there. I woulda kicked Abudllah ass. Goddamned fuckin' Arabs. I woulda gone all fuckin Michael Myers alla Freddie Cruger alla Jason from Friday the motherfuckin' 13th on his ass.

Obama’s deep bow to the Saudi king
By Michelle Malkin • April 2, 2009 01:36 PM

...I hope all the lefties who tore into Bush over his Saudi prostration will express equal disgust with President HopeAndChange’s literal bowing and scraping to King Abdullah. When JWF sent a link to the photo with Obama bent down like a serf (further than either he or Michelle dipped for Queen Elizabeth, by the way), I tried to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he dropped a contact lens or penny? ...

I doubt he's given it any thought.

I started looking for a mention of it in the Middle Eastern press, beginning with al Jazeera, and found this:

Could somebody who cares about this explain to me what it meant with Bush awkwardly rubbed the shoulders of the German Chancellor? Did that mean that the US wanted to have sex with Germany??

"My son just returned from Iraq (his 3rd tour) and the president's presence over there is being scrutinized by those middle east countries"

I really doubt that anybody with any kind of education (ie: decision maker) cares about bowing. It wasn't even mentioned in Aljazeera.

from your link cherry....

The president has performed an act of obeisance (note: The King did *not* return the bow) that will never be forgotten by non-christians throughout the world.
