Obama bows to Saudi King

I heard today that Obama bowed to the Saudi king, which no former President has ever done.

When Bill Clinton gave a nod to the Japanese head huncho the press crucifed him. Don't hear anything about Obama bowing to another sovernity, as though he is above the President of the United States.

Yeah, and his wife Michelle hugged the Queen of England. Big no no, but of course the press loved it.

BO will be a one-term President if the Republicans can find a better candidate than McCain was.

Palin need not apply, or BO will be re-elected in a landslide.

I remember when the Republicans sent poor Bob Dole against Bill Clinton ... *sigh* That was a terrible choice. Hopefully they won't make another choice like that again.

I would vote for Palin in a heart beat. I said McCain didn't have a chance of winning before he was the offical candidate.

Then welcome BO back for a second term...

It would be a BO landslide of epic proportions, sad to say.

Re: Obama bows to Saudie King

I think a lot of it might be generational. More and more, people don't really care about the formalities. However, if it is specifically not custom for each person to bow to each other there or if Obama dropped to a knee then somebody needs to straighten him out on that.

Actually there is an assistant the Pres uses to teach manners and protocol. Obama gave the PM of the UK some DVD's that are not compatible with UK equipment. This stuff takes a while. The way Obama is dealing with it is by trying to limit the picture taking to his own internal staff. But the other countries use their own.
In terms of manners, unless you are a Castro or chavez, no one wants an embarassing record.

Re: Obama bows to Saudie King

I think this is great!

It's the first real sign of humility we've seen from Obama.
