Why did Barack Hussein Obama BOW to Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz?
Protocol does not call for him to do so. He also touched Queen Elizabeth which is NOT a part of protocol.

My PERSONAL opinion: The Saudi King (How many of them are there again?) is an Arab and a Muslim. Her Majesty, Elizabeth II is White and Head of the Anglican Church. If he REALLY thought about truth over Radical Left-Wing Extremism - The British started buying Africans from OTHER Africans and then sold these people as chattel. No doubt Obama AND Lerch should hate the English even more than they hate White America. JOE V. - Thanks for reminding me of the touchy-feely bit with the G.D. QUEEN! These people might reside in the White House for a short while - but they have NO CLASS. It was VERY important to our Founding Fathers that we NOT bow to any monarch, yet our PRESIDENT does so - but only to a Muslim - not an Anglican...?

I was going to say because of protocol, but the truth is because Aziz is his king!

Because he has No Respect For Us, None, Na Da, Zip, Zero ...
How can we expect him to be loyal to this country when he has so very much contempt, and probably fanatical hatred for our people?
I have given up on that foul, putrid, depraved septic tank upon the Left Bank of the Potomac; as they are more loyal to Anybody Not an American!

To give the simple-minded Americans something to think about. He knows the economy and international diplomacy are too complicated and boring for them.
He did a good job. His getting a dog is amusing our simple brethren too. And, Obama has some fifth-graders all in a tizzy because he uses a teleprompter. Excellent way to distract little kids from the important stuff.

No, his wife touched Queen Elizabeth, and it was mutual contact. The queen stated so herself. Also, every American President for the last 50 years has poured trillions of dollars every year into the Saudi government. Why are you mad? They are technically our allies. If you are so mad that Obama bowed, are you mad that Reagan gave them trillions of dollars?
Bush held the Saudis hand. If anything, Bush was closer to the Saudi government than Obama ever will be. TAlk about a double standard.... an uneducated one at that....

Don't you know...the White House says he didn't bow, but that he leaned down because the King was so much shorter than him. I swear the white house thinks we are stupid. For him to bow to a misogynist is utterly disgusting and shows what a fool Obama is and how foolish he is making our country look.

He did what he had been taught to do all of his life and that was to bow to Muslim dignataries . It was just a matter of his younger training coming out.

Either he is inexperienced or apathetic; neither quality is good for a US President.

Because he saw your boy chicken-george kiss the saudi guy on the lips and then hold his hand like a lovestruck little school-gilr and Barack figured a bow would look less subserviant and shameful.
