| I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States. |
Perhaps he is just being considerate and he is saying thanks in advance for there not being an Human Caused Events while he holds the office.
(Looking down the road for ‘12, could be that some will say we must keep our current occupant, or else those from the Middle East might Cause more Human Events.)
I dunno. Maybe he dropped a contact or something.
I can no longer believe that we are in good hands..oh wait, I haven’t since Jan 20th.
This picture belongs to Getty Imagines NOT AP. Getty’s caption for their own picture reads:
Getty Images 22 hours ago
US President Barack Obama (3rd L) bows to Saudi Arabia King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud (2nd R) as French President Nicolas Sarkozy (3rd R) and South Korean President Lee Myung -Bak (L) look on before a family picture with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II (not pictured) at Buckingham Palace, in London, on April 1, 2009. World leaders wrangled Wednesday on how a London summit could fix the global economy as demonstrators attacked a bank in an anti-capitalist riot in the British capital. Demonstrators laid siege to the Bank of England and smashed the windows of a nearby bank that has become a symbol of the financial crisis rescue carried out by the British government which will be discussed at Thursday’s Group of 20 summit in the city.
I would think they would know best what a picture that belong to them was of.
Please review for yourself:

The Queen of England, Elton John?
I'm sure he did.
I don't like Zero at all....but that's MHO of this photo.
excellent! Now if it only would happen here....
Yes, he dropped something alright the dignity of the United States of America
Michelle 0bama revealed in an interview in People Magazine last year that the 0bama's do NOT exchange gifts at birthdays or Christmas, not even do the children get gifts!
So the 0bamas clearly have little experience in shopping for others which might explain their appalling choices for Gordon Brown and Her Majesty, The Queen.
This might seem bizarre to you or me that a relatively wealthy family does exchange presents, but apparently it is the norm................if you are a Muslim.
maybe de dropped an ipod
: )
THE WORLD; The President's Inclination: No, It Wasn't a Bow-Bow
Sunday, June 19, 1994
But the "thou need not bow" commandment from the State Department's protocol office maintained a constancy of more than 200 years. Administration officials scurried to insist that the eager-to-please President [Clinton] had not really done the unthinkable. [The 'unthinkable? A bow]
I guess you are saying that AP is more likely to get the caption right for a Getty image than Getty is?
Take a look a that guy to the right of Zero...he's looking down. Both turbaned guys are looking down...and the guy in the background is looking down.
And to top it off...Zero is bending is right leg..but not is left...which is the start of bending down to pick something up. I don't bow on a regular basis...: ) But I don't think I'd do it that way.
I think I'm in the minority here...based on the posts...But that's my take.....
This is what Obama believes in his heart.
We will soon know, if there is a video.
Too funny... All Clinton did was dip his head and shoulders. Obama’s half-way to the floor! I can’t wait to hear what Obama’s staff comes up with to explain this away (or try to...).
Heck the photographer probably doesn't even get to do their own captions.
He’s partially bowing to kiss the ring on the King’s hand. I’m dead serious. That’s what they’re looking at.....
