One picture is worth a thousand words:
And here's the link to the video, so you can watch the whole thing over and over while screaming, "THIS IS YOUR IDEA OF RESTORING AMERICAN PRESTIGE?"
It didn't take long before the official denial: "Barack Obama did not show subservient fealty to that king, Mr. Abdullah..."
Barack Obama's handler's may be right. At least technically.
From Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language:
"Curtsy: a bow by women in recognition or respect, consisting of bending the knees and lowering the body."Let's see: bent knees - check. Lowered body - check. Woman? Well, that's really pretty darned subjective, given Obama being our first true metrosexual president, and all.
Obama didn't bow down before Saudi King Abdullah, contrary to the accusations by "the vast, right-wing conspiracy." He curtsied, which is the new metrosexual version of "a bow by any other name would smell as submissive."
Many are saying Obama bowing down before the Saudi king shows weakness. Like everyone didn't already know Barack Obama was weak...
I suppose we can look to the bright side of all this: by figuratively placing himself - and therefore the United States of America - under the rule of Saudi Arabia, maybe this president won't have any shoes thrown at him by angry Muslims.
You can also observe the Chinese premier on the left of the picture. His expression says it all...
“He bowed?! Amazing. I can invade Taiwan and this moron won’t do a thing about it.”
Dude. You made me laugh so hard I think I injured something.
Hilarious but sadly true.
He is not bowing. It is a curtsy. Duh.
Well, to be fair, the French are ALWAYS mocking us.
Remember the "French taunters" from Monty Python's 'Search for the Holy Grail'? It's pretty much been going on ever since.
Me too. I saw the floor teleprompter and laughed really hard.
Sadly this POS bowed to his master of the dark side.
Keep in mind that John Adams genuflected before King George III, while Secretary of State.
Court manners have a long history. This is about as newsy as idea of FDR having a physical handicap.
re: bow from the waist
Also, note the bended right knee. Bended knee is part of a bow, not reaching down to shake the hand of a shorter person.
You mean his cake cutter
Hussein needs to be impeached. Immediately. Ol' Plugs is a creature of The Swamp. He'll play ball for the rest of the term as a matter of political survival.

A bow/curtsy was a menu option to the question, “Would you like fries with my apology for being a despicable American?”
I could not help the comment. Hey maybe someone will send it to Leno.
Yes, he did.
your point?
JA not president at the time?
B0 was.
Go to DU with this crap.
Our dear muslim leader bowed down to his savior (and probable terrorist supporter).
Well, on another website I’m a mbr of; one poster said Obama wasn’t bowing but attempting fellatio on the king so we might be overreacting (sarc/).
...I don’t think Steven Harper thought it was quite as funny as Sarkozy. Does Zero have Abdullah’s hand? It looks like a posture one would take to kiss the hand of the Pope.
Obama is nothing special-just another barking moonbat with no guts and no balls. I refuse to even recognize him as president, let alone an American. A disgusting piece of trash.
