While I don’t post a lot on Twitter myself, I do learn a few things by monitoring my feed. For those wondering why the media hasn’t reported at all on Barack Obama’s protocol-smashing deep-waisted bow to King Abdullah — besides the usual Cover Obama’s Behind impulse — a few people are suggesting that media outlets are taking the position that Obama was really picking something off the ground instead of bowing.
Where did they get idea? Certainly not from the video. I’ve highlighted the portion, and repeat it a couple of times to be clear:
Very clearly, throughout the bow, Obama’s right hand stays engaged with Abdullah’s. His left hand remains visibly at his side, and doesn’t once reach for the ground. So where would they get the idea that President Obama assigned himself the task of cleaning the floor? I’d assume that Obama’s press office pushed that meme out hard yesterday when the video first came out, and they didn’t bother to check it.
LMAO!
They largely ignored it last night too. So did Drudge.
LOL! Save it before someone takes it down.
Even the onlookers are getting a chuckle.
Somebody already did. Post 19!
· His first phone call was to Abbas, the terrorist leader of the Palestinian Authority and al Fatah;
· His first interview was on al-Arabiya News Channel, where he apologized for the United States;
· His first appointment of an envoy to Syria was the appointment of George Soros;
· He bankrolled Hamas out of Whitehouse funds to the tune of $23 million, following Israel’s invasion of Gaza to stop the missile strikes;
· He promised another 900 million to Gaza;
· He immediately adopted the Saudi Plan as policy for Israel, which favors a contiguous Palestinian state (that is, a geographic area that connects Gaza with the West Bank and includes Jerusalem – necessarily dividing Israel);
· He dismissed charges against the perpetrators of the bombing of the USS Cole;
· He announced the shut-down of Gitmo, and apologized to the Islamic world for its existence;
· He announced that his first summit would be an Islamic summit;
· He turned a blind eye to Iran’s launch of a satellite capable of triangulating coordinates for ICBMs that Iran is furiously trying to develop for the delivery of nuclear weapons;
· He turned a blind eye to the release of A. Q. Khan, Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist, who is believed to be the very person to have delivered nuclear bomb technology to North Korea;
· He intends to eliminate our anti-ballistic missile defense program;
· He intends to reduce our nuclear weapons arsenal by 75%;
· He intends to reduce our military budget by 25%;
· He has reneged on developing nuclear power;
· He continues to block off-shore or expanded drilling;
· He continues to try and block the production of coal (45% of our electric generating capability)
So who’s side is this guy on?

I missed the first hour but I don’t think Rush even mentioned this. Could be because the only place to find it is on the web.
polishing the knob...
Glad I saved it!
In the first video you can clearly see the Prince try to direct Michelle to his left..and she thinks..hell with that.. I AM MICHELLE..I STAND NEXT TO THE QUEEN
He very clearly bowed. Doesn’t matter what the knotheads at DU say. ;)
