Um…What is President Obama Doing to Saudi King Abdullah in This Photograph?


Look, I know he said he was going to go out of his way to get on other world leaders’ good sides, but this seems to be going a bit overboard.

Photograph courtesy of Atlas, who finds this an unwelcome gesture of submission to the head of a terror-sponsoring state.

Let’s make this an open thread.

Hello....calling all WH Protocol Officers...

Aaron Gardner Thursday, April 2nd at 11:38AM EDT (link)

We quit bowing to kings sometime around 1776.

Furthermore, only subjects of the Kingdom are supposed to bow to the King…by doing this President Obama is saying that he is subject to the King’s authority…at least according to protocol.

What a buffoon!!!

Yes most likely.

RP has enough education and culture to understand WHY he would bow.

Anyone who is critical of a simple bow is simply uneducated. There is no “submissive” undertones with a simple bow, its a customary Arab greeting. Like shaking hands!

In fact I would prefer bowing, as it is I touch too many hands the way it is! Eww GERMS!

However, the hand holding and petting the BUSH family has taken part in.

IS ANOTHER STORY IN ITSELF!

Obama knows that he must bow before his master or be ousted from his Islamic upbringing. I think it only proper. This is what happens when he misreads his teleprompter, again. One of these days his handlers will get all of the kinks out of their directions and Obama will have clear sailing! Keep up the Bush bashing, simpleton, don’t miss a stroke.

Newsweek inadvertently says too much about Obama

Finrod Thursday, April 2nd at 12:05PM EDT (link)

From this article:

According to a person close to the situation, Obama hasn’t yet appointed a chief of protocol and his staffers, still unpacking, didn’t realize that the State Department has an entire office dedicated to foreign visits.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it takes the bandwidth of ten thousand.

 

Special Relationship?

daves_not_here Thursday, April 2nd at 12:40PM EDT (link)

News video shows Obama did not bow to Queen Elizabeth, the reigning head of state of a country we have up until a couple of months ago had a “special relationship” with. Instead, he greeted her with a 2-handed handshake. OK, maybe protocol doesn’t allow the POTUS to bow to a foreign head of state. I can dig that. Of course, FLOTUS probably should have at least courtsied. So why the **** is he groveling before the Saudi King?

This pretty well removes any doubt that the repetitive snubs and insults to representatives of the UK could be accidental and the result of ignorance. It is looking more and more as though Obama is deliberately attempting to drive a wedge between the US and the UK, while he cozies up to more worthy partners

“I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.”

 

O didn't bow to the Queen,

johnt Thursday, April 2nd at 12:41PM EDT (link)

but Hussien saves it for this guy. The O’s middle name is still Hussien isn’t it? The bent knee shown is particularly disgusting from this increasingly disgusting hero of the left.
At least O didn’t physically grovel, or was that saved for the private audience?

i would expect a joke of this kind from dailykos, not redstate.

i think obama is a nitwit, a bumbler, a naif, a fool, a deceiver, an opportunist, a charlatan, an arrogant blowhard, and the most dangerous man in america in at least a century (more dangerous than fdr because fdr at least understood certain fundamentals of handling foreign policy and protecting national security, even if he was wrong about things like the british empire and the internal threat of communist spies).

but he is the president, and it is not for us to demean that office with a joke such as this one. i’m all in favor of laughing at the president, but this one goes too far.

What joke icbm??...

But the video confirmed — it was a bow.

"That flag dips to no earthly king"

smagar Thursday, April 2nd at 11:31PM EDT (link)

That great statement was uttered by a US official during the 1908 (?) Olympics in London. The American team did not dip the Stars and Stripes to the King of England. When newspaper reporters asked US team officials why, that’s how one of them responded.

IIRC, the impetus for that act of defiance came from Irish-American athletes on the US team. Some went up to the flag bearer before the opening ceremonies and told him that, if the US flag dipped in front of the King, the flag-bearer would be in the hospital by nightfall.

That tradition has stood the test of time…but I fear it won’t survive The One’s administration.

Who cares what the other side would do? We do what is right because it is right. If Obama brings the economy into a death spiral, attack. This is irrelevant, and though the left may have howled, you should treat it like the nothing that it is.

Not should, should is a strong word. I would. It’s just silly customs, and they were probably more excited to see him than he was to see them. He’s huge in Europe. Japan, too.

He’s completely stiffing Congress by appointing all these “czars” to run everything, the appointees who do get reviewed by Congress are tax cheats, he’s running an even more secret administration than Bush did, and yet the press continues to worship his every move.

because of Radical Chic. Tom Wolf wrote about it in the 1970’s. There are a certain type of White person (I think it is only found in white people) who literally hate everything good about their own culture and history and so they foolishly hold up as paragons everything which was once denigrated by western culture.

It is the thing that makes people tell myths about the “noble savages” who were displaced, and ascribe a greater value to African history, art, and literature than they deserve.
