Barack Obama did not bow from the waist when he met Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas Queen, Defender of the Faith, Duchess of Edinburgh, Countess of Merioneth, Baroness Greenwich, Duke of Lancaster, Lord of Mann, Duke of Normandy, Sovereign of the Order of Canada, Sovereign of the Order of Australia, Sovereign of the Order of New Zealand, Sovereign of the Order of Barbados, Sovereign of the Order of Valour, Sovereign of the Order of Military Merit, Sovereign of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces, Sovereign of the Queen’s Service Order, Sovereign of the New Zealand Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of St. Andrew, Sovereign of the Order of Logohu, Sovereign of the Order of the Star of Melanesia, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Sovereign of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Sovereign of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, Sovereign of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Sovereign of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Sovereign of the Distinguished Service Order, Sovereign of the Imperial Service Order, Sovereign of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, Sovereign of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, Sovereign of the Order of British India, Sovereign of the Indian Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of Burma, Sovereign of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, Sovereign of the Royal Family Order of King Edward VII, Sovereign of the Order of Mercy, Sovereign of the Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of the Companions of Honour, Sovereign of the Royal Victorian Order, Sovereign of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem.
Barack Obama did bow when he met King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Commander of the Saudi National Guard, Chairman of the Supreme Economic Council, President of the High Council for Petroleum and Minerals, President of the King Abdulaziz Centre for National Dialogue, Chairman of the Council of Civil Service and Head of the Military Service Council.
In the video he clearly bowed, and bowed from the waist.
The White House says he just stooped down because the King is a short man. Elizabeth II is actually shorter than King Abdullah.
But because the White House said this, the media and the left would rather believe Obama than their own, apparently lying, eyes.
Put it to you this way, were it George Bush and he tried to say he did not bow when he clearly did, the left would speculate that he was back on booze or using coke. Either Barack Obama did bow and is now lying, or he — the guy who admitted using drugs — was tripping and thought he saw a leprechaun.
Barack Obama Bowed to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, but not to the Defender of the Christian Faith.

He let it be known when he slipped up...

This is pretty obvious in the louche apperance of the Obamas in casual clothing greeting the Queen and the Duke (as Oscar De La Renta fumed: You don’t wear a cardigan to meet the Queen). The whole episode, including Michelle O groping the Queen, was hideously embarrassing.

Well. it seems the Obamas will be attending
septembergurl Friday, April 10th at 12:19AM EDT (link)church in DC this Easter Suunday. (per Politico)
Perhaps like me you are wondering: A…..Christian church?? With the Obamas you can’t tell. Since Jan 20 they have attended church once — on Jan 20, they went to a traditional service at St Johns on Lafayette Square (known as the “Church of the Presidents” because Presidents since, I belive, Madison, have worshipped there.) This is an Episcopal church, as is the National Cathedral, where they also attended a service Inauguration Week.
It’s funny, isn’t it, that such religious, spiritual people, have avoided church for 11 weeks. Finding a church is hard, kind of like finding a dog.
Dare I say he looked like he was about to kneel?
penguin2 Friday, April 10th at 1:01AM EDT (link)From the back and side you see his right knee bent. A bow would be a straight bend from the waist. with no knee bend required. And hogwash about the “two-handed” handshake. Side view clearly shows his left hand at his knee,almost like he was going to rest his hand on it-which you might do if you partially kneeling.
Regardless, the WH thinks we are stupid and fools. I hope all of this comes back to haunt them someday, it is certainly giving us nightmares. The bow, reinforces our concerns about this man who is our president, yet seems to have nothing in common with our values and culture.
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.

It's a problem for any American POTUS to bow to any sovereign
JustLeaveMeAlone Friday, April 10th at 1:23AM EDT (link)Americans don’t freakin’ bow to anyone. And someone purportedly representing the American people better not.
While I have great respect for Elizabeth II, she is not the “defender of the Christian faith” — her title indicates she is the head of the Anglican Church.
The “Defender of the Faith” is an title passed through British monarchs. It was originally awarded to King Henry VIII by Pope Leo X — obviously before Henry’s break with Rome over the Pope’s refusal to annul his first marriage — and it was given in thanks for a book Henry wrote inspired by his rage against Martin Luther.
Ironically, this book, a supposed scholarly work, went to great lengths to uphold papal authority, as well as the sacrament of marriage. Given Henry’s later history, it’s no wonder that Pope Paul III revoked the title. It was restored to Henry by Parliament in recognition of his anti-Roman Catholicism.
As for me, I don’t need anyone to defend my faith; I celebrate the Author of it this weekend. He’s advocate enough for me.
As for bowing to Muslim monarchs — well, that’s a diatribe all in and of itself
We could start with The One’s obvious obsequiousness towards Muslims; we could move on to whether or not the Al Saud family can truly be styled “royalty”, and then generally discuss “Religion of Peace” ::: choke :::.
But need anyone really say all that?

America's President bows to nobody
nod90 Friday, April 10th at 10:18PM EDT (link)I think the head nod or bow or whatever to Queen Elizabeth is quite inappropriate for an American President, given our revolutionary war history. However, it is nowhere near as humiliating as his grovelling low bow to an Arab tribal chief.
I guess that Michelle Obama isn’t the only Obama who doesn’t feel proud of her country. It symbolizes an American weakness which we haven’t seen since Jimmy Carter. The world is testing the new President, and the absence of a forceful American response to missile launches and piracy is being noted. The bow just puts it in pictures.
This Administration needs a Cheney to give it a backbone.
DUDE...it wasn't a bow...some people should start watching the news
