Obama sees peaks, valleys on Europe trip [MSM bow mention]
The Hill ^ | April 5, 2009 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 04/05/2009 11:05:39 PM PDT by Plutarch

President Obama prepared to end his first overseas trip at the nexus of Europe and Asia having received a crash course in the strengths -- and limits -- of his popularity when it came to forging foreign policy...

...Obama mugged for the cameras with Russia's Dmitry Medvedev, chatted with Chinese President Hu Jintao, and kept tea time at Buckingham Palace. His few stumbles included giving the queen an iPod on the heels of widespread mockery over his earlier gift of a DVD set to Brown, and appearing to bow upon shaking hands with Saudi King Abdullah, an image that has had right-wing blogs on fire since the summit's conclusion.

Who are YOU going to believe about the Bow?

That lying black racist and closet Muslim sonuvabitch, or your lying eyes?

Well, at least they mentioned it. However, it WAS a bow. There was no “appearance” of a bow — no-one watching the video could EVER believe it was anything OTHER than a DEEP, Salaam bow actually...

"appearing (my bold) to bow upon shaking hands with Saudi King Abdullah,"

Guess I can't believe my lying eyes. The prick bowed to a terrorist supporter. As much as I hated clinton and his bunch, I despise obami even more. Yes, I also, disliked W for his building bigger government, but at least he knew protocol.

I have never been so disgusted with the leader of my Country. The children are back in the White House. When will we see their friends jumping on the Lincoln bed?

How frigging dare him? What the hell is wrong with this man? Oh wait, I know, he is a smooth talking clinton clone who worked his way up through "community service" while enjoying the benefits of "affirmative action". I despise this man. I will never consider him as my President nor Commander-in-Chief. <

We are friggin done...put a fork in us. OR, if you want to fight, contact your legal State Sanctioned Militia/State Reserve (Google: SGAUS), if you have one in your State. If you don't have a State sanctioned Milita/State Reserve organization, then form your own - you're going to need it. This not going to end well without a fight. And "TEA PARTY's" (demonstrations) are not going to get it done.

Been there - done that. Waste of time. The politicos don't watch, care, nor react to them. I know, I'm one the original activists on this forum.

I heard that Snopes was just a Liberal couple in California.

Snopes answered a critical news item against Obama, saying the news item was untrue. In dismissing it, they merely quoted Obama! .

“The BOW” was telling for one reason. It is a personal instinct and action of the POTUS.

Most of the rest of what occurred on the trip was TOTUS stuff.

The Muslim bowed before the Saudi King.

Not only did he bow he genuflected.

gen·u·flect (jny-flkt)
intr.v. gen·u·flect·ed, gen·u·flect·ing, gen·u·flects
1. To bend the knee or touch one knee to the floor or ground, as in worship.
2. To be servilely respectful or deferential; grovel.

Yep, that should say exactly who our POTUS really is. A Muslim.

I am wondering if Obama was elected falsely as most likely most Americans would not have voted for a Muslim?

Oh, I'll bet that's the first thing they did Inaugural Night. On a side note, did'ja see where bama's-baby-mama (man, I hate that term! LOL!) is digging-up the WH grounds for a veggie-garden?! Just what we need... watermelon, stalks of corn, and Lord knows what else, poking up at Penn. Ave!!! What an embarrassment!

WOW, I had never heard of the SGAUS before! THANK YOU!!! I’ve got the site bookmarked and I will look into it further tonight. I live in Wisconsin, so I see there is no group in my state.

One question — can someone such as myself with no military experience help to create one of these sanctioned State militia groups? I have other skills that may help in the organization of a group — public relations & communications, but no real military related experience.

As for the protests... I’m afraid you’re right unfortunately. Unless one can get the media to HELP spread the message it’s not likely to affect much at all... That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t attend one in my area, and that I won’t help to support them... Just that I’m not convinced on the effectiveness of them — besides moral support, and meeting other people with like minds. :)
