Obama bows down to Saudi King

Clarice Feldman

I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States.

bowing down to Islamist monarch

let me get this right

the Queen doesn’t get a bow nor a curtsy from his racist wife

he then meets the kin of Saudi and he’s bending over They then come ion and grab her hand with both of their hands like she is a rag doll, michelle obama nearly pushes the prince out of the way.

Am I missing something here or what?


Well I believe one of the titles of the Saudi hing is "keeper of the holy places" or something to that effect, so being at the very least a muslim sympathizer this is about right. On the other hand the brits represent western forms of government, white imperialism and the queen represents feudalism and the outdated class structure which is what the struggle for socialism is all about.

But you’re BOTH bowing in that respect.

What Obama is doing in that photo is submissive — that king is standing straight.

Catch the difference?

“It appears to me...based on most everyone’s reaction in the photo...that someone dropped something...and Zero was going to pick it up.”


That’s what I initially thought as well, but in the caption for the picture Getty Images said that Obama was bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia:

“Did anyone bow to YOU, and you didn’t return the sign of mutual respect though?

Yes. I extended my hand — and once again, smiled — a genuine smile. I have a great smile.”

You know, Beck, you make a great point by inference. The Saudi king DID NOT BOW IN RETURN.

The way they are all looking down, I think he kissed his hand or ring.

Not bowing to anyone except God is an ancient Jewish teaching. This practice is copied over and repeated by Muslims. It is not surprising that the Saudi Kind said this. The only surprise is that comrade Obama wasn’t kissing his *ss instead.

Nachum, mojitojoe,

He made salaam:

sa·laam (s-läm)
n.
1. A ceremonious act of deference or obeisance, especially a low bow performed while placing the right palm on the forehead.
2. A respectful ceremonial greeting performed especially in Islamic countries.
tr. & intr.v. sa·laamed, sa·laam·ing, sa·laams
To greet with or perform a salaam.


[Arabic salm, peace, salaam, from salima, to be safe; see lm in Semitic roots.]

See freedictionary.com

Also, root letters of islam & muslim, might I remind you.

You are right Monkey. In Japan it is not submission but respect and it is mutual.

Here Zero is demeaning himself, and more importantly as Head of State, demeaning America. The King has instructed his OWN SUBJECTS not to bow to him.

Everyone in the room is laughing at him.

It is impeachable IMHO. What a travesty!

Don’t know about the picture of his lower legs. Do you think he was genuflecting to the Prince???

Apparently, the Saudi King does not feel the same way about bowing.

Also, I don’t believe he bowed to the leader of Indonesia and that is a Muslim country as well - the very country he lived in as a child.

I don’t believe any other leader bowed to the Saudi King, especially in a setting where they are all equals. He should have said ‘As-Salaam-Alaikum’ and shook his hand if he wanted to relate to him.

True, 0 didn’t bow to the man from Indonesia. However, the Saudi king is the political ruler of the holy sites of Islam.

I guess I misunderstood your comment - I thought you said 0bama was bowing to the other heads of state in a similar manner as he did to the Saudi king.

Very! Obama bends over forwards to kiss the arse of his Saudi master. Must have been part of the deal when the Presidency was bought for him. God help our nation. I will not go quietly.

And why would that mean anything? Under that idea, Obama should have bowed to Berlusconi since he is the leader of Italy, where the Vatican/Pope is located - which is after all considered the city that represents Catholic/Christian faith.
