The Bush clip was funny - the hand holding was a amusing, but it was clear Bush was leading the Saudi King during that meeting. Also, I believe the King has difficulty walking.
At any rate, the focus is now on Obama, and this bowing thing....well, not sure what to make of it frankly. It looks horrible, and the political implications are many, but we will have to see if it has any real significance beyond the weekend pundit rounds that are sure to discuss it.
Obama appeared incredibly weak in that exchange - I almost thought he was going to fall to one knee!
A far cry from when Reagan met Gorbachev on those steps so many years ago, strategically arriving first so he could walk down to Gorbachev and as they both shook hands, and the cameras exploded, the image around the world was of the American President looking down upon the rather rumpled and uncomfortable Gorbachev.
Obama has been strikingly inept in his handling of these foreign leader meetings.
And not to be too harsh here (I hope) but all of this press babbling about the Michelle Obama as the second coming of Jackie O....really? I just don't see it. Michelle appears awkward, and her fashion sense a bit...well, cobbled together. Her walk reminds me of the Mr. Burns character from the Simpsons. (A more masculine Mr. Burns) Sorry if that offends, but the clearly fabricated accolades being bestowed upon her by the media is growing quite tiresome.

i'm going to let this thread fester a little bit before posting all the LIP service Bush gave to the same man. It's funny to watch the fake outrage.
There are pictures of Bush kissing him on the lips and the right didnt seem to mind.
Seems one of the places the right and left agree is that the Saudis are our enemy. Only our leaders, on both sides don't get it.

Oh my god, he did the same with Queen Elizabeth. You all will never drag Obama down to the level of idiocy displayed by Bush everywhere he went.
The Obamas are admired all over the world.

Well i'm willing to bet that Bush didn't bow to the Saudi King...
He held his hand... and gave him a little shuggy... but it was clear that when it was all said and done that GW was the pitcher in that Muslim queer-fest.
And while I would never condone such behavior, by bowing, Hussein implies submission... meaning he's assumed the position of catcher and while there's little respect which can be had for queer behavior, what little there might be, is limited to the Pitcher.
You seem to know an awful lot about queer protocol.![]()
