The White House Says This Was Not a Bow
After waiting with baited breath for the White House to explain why Barack Obowma broke time-honored military protocol by bowing deeply at the waist for the Saudi king, the White House finally mustered an explanation today.
From Hotair.com:
-
The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.
“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
OMG I cant stop laughing! Did he say Obowma was TALLER than the king?? Isn’t he taller than the queen, who stands 5′-4″?? Does the Obowma administration really think the American people will sit idly by and be blatantly lied to?
Watch the video of the bow again, and you decide if Obowma bowed to the Muslim king or not.

Auntie…that wasn’t a bow…he was on his knees. So actually he knelt??? hahahahahhaaa!
Silence speaks volumes.
There is no defending the obvious. He bowed out of habit or not being trained or whatever the reason he did it, he did it.
I’m so over Obama.
& If they really bail out the Life Insurance companies with tax dollars I’m going to protest on April 15th.
I do not care if he bowed or not but I do NOT believe an Obama aide gave that quote which is why they are NOT named thats the same as an un named source and I do not believe them either. Nite
There’s a saying “it’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you’re a fool than to speak and prove them right”.
The white house should have kept their mouths shut.
Obama is our president, but we cannot give him a free pass. He is a pretty face in front of dangerous people.
“Yes, we can” should not have stopped on November 5…stay involved. We have to make our voices heard at such a defining point in this country.

LOL! When I was writing this post earlier, my 80-year-old mom came into my office laughing because she saw it on the news. This administration is a joke!
If the White House had just said, “Look, President Obama’s still learning his way around. We understand how this looks to some people, and it won’t hapen again”, everything would’ve died down. But denying the obvious is just going to keep this story in the news.
@ bigqdawg:
Now you’re catching on! Finally people are beginning to see what some of us have been saying about Obama all along. The man is a pathological liar who operates on a simple principle: when all else fails — lie your ass off! Obama surrounds himself with like-minded people who will lie at all costs to cover up their true agenda. Now you can see why good, honest people like Sanjay Gupta and others declined to work with Obama’s administration.
I’ve been ignoring all this Obama stuff. Can someone please get me up to speed on what the hell differance it makes whether he bows or not or touches someone or not or puts a part in his hair or not or smiles or not. WTF!?!?! Why would anyone focus on this type of irrelevant bullcrap when I need a cotton picking job!?!?! I don’t give a damn about pleasantries. I need him to turn this damn economy around. Holla at your girl when something is said about that. Geez.

The reason that the bowing is important is because it is against strict military protocol! In his impulsive enthusiasm to bow down before his true master — Obama forgot about protocol. He didn’t forget about it when he met the queen and every other world leader because he didn’t bow down to any of them. That’s why the White House is lying about it now and trying to cover it up.
This country fought a war so that no president would be forced to bow down to any king or queen or world leader. His bowing to that one Muslim king clearly demonstrates Obama’s allegiance and loyalty to the master that he truly serves. Obama’s true mission is to create a new world order and shift the balance of power from the U.S. to the middle east.
That’s why Obama takes every opportunity to big up Islam and to put down Christianity. It’s the reason he hasn’t been to church since he was elected president. It’s the reason he doesn’t seem to care if the economy turns around or not. He also doesn’t care if the banks fail. He actually needs the banks to fail to accomplish his mission of shifting the balance of power. It’s almost like he’s a double agent in the white House. They couldn’t destroy us from without, so they will do it from within the White House.
Obama sailed into the White House on $600 million in campaign donations — the most in history. Yet we will never know where all that money came from, but we can take a good guess. Just scroll up to the top of this post.
Sandra…”Does the Obowma administration really think the American people will sit idly by and be blatantly lied to?”
…um the American people did exactly that for 8 years. I’m almost sure it’ll continue.
I am mad yall believed somebody that works for the Pres/White house really gave that statement..lol And again I could care less if he bowed or not doesnt make us weaker or stronger as a nation. We will always have countries and people who do not like the US of A no matter what we do or dont do or who the President.
So in the words of Gary thats neither here nor there….
Thanks for the explanation, but it does not change the fact that this is not important or worthy of disccussion. I really don’t care about military protocol as it pertains to greeting people. That is not anywhere on my list of things to worry about.
Hmmm…everybody is so over Obama…
Well, I got a BUMP in my paycheck because of Obama (and so did most BLACK folks I know)…
And I don’t remember this site saying ANYTHING about ANYTHING that went down in the other administration…
You know what I’m over?
Folks who are “over” Obama…
New post
lol @ You know what I’m over?

To sit and think that one person is actually controlling what goes on in the Whitehouse is silly to say the least. We all know that Obama is not singlehandledly pulling switches and pushing buttons over there at 1600 Pennsylvania. I do not believe for a minute the propoganda that he is trying to shift the balance of the power from the west to the east. Do you think that the “goold ole boys” will sit back and allow that to happen? How do you know that Obama has not been to church recently? Is it because it hasn’t been televised or reported in the media? If that is the case then we might as well assume he hasn’t brushed his teeth, used the restroom and he and Michelle probably haven’t even “did the do”. As far as Sanjay Gupta goes I guess he became honest after the Michael Moore fiasco?

I guess you’re not aware, but Obama is followed by a contingent of media everywhere he goes 24/7. They are even on Air Force One and on his helicopter with him. If they say he hasn’t been to church since he was elected then I believe them since they are with him every minute that he leaves the White House.
He bowed. Period.
i agree with u lala…because i got a bump in my paycheck too.
HE BOWED, and like PC said thats the bottom line. AND I AIN “OVER” a damn thang…I straight up don’t appreciate dat shyt. EVEN as a black man he shouldn’t be BOWING to no body, we’ve BOWED enough!! Yall making excuses for this man….come on? HE IS NOT GOD, why is it so hard to believe that he could very well be the ENEMY in DISGUISE. Those good ole boys are very well aquainted with the Saudi’s….ASK BUSH. He got OIL money all up and THRU his bank account…NOW ITS TIME TO PAY BACK, and if you call yourself a CHRISTIAN you should know that there is a POSSIBILITY that this happening….DAMN, what else has to happen for people to believe the world is coming to an END, how long will you DENY that the time has come, WHAT ELSE DA FUKK HAS TO HAPPEN…look at all these people getting killed bout stupid shyt, a 5 year old just got decapitated by her OWN FUKKING BROTHER last week…..STORMS ARE HITTING WHERE THEY PLEASE….it was almost a 100 degrees in FLORIDA last week….this week we were in the 30s!!! Either you BELIEVE in GOD’s word or YOU DON’T SIMPLE AS THAT!
@ Lala I got a bump & I’m still OVER Obama.
I was over him when people around me started losing their jobs while he continues to bail out this big company & that big company. & while things around me continue to rise that not even that lil $20 to $50 “bump” can account for.
Now the insurance companies want a bail out. Well what the heck were they doing with all the premiums that we paid. Every company is sooo needed so we “have” to bail them out. We need to start making these companies accountable for what they do. & until I see the government do something; maybe what was promised in the campaigns…
I am over Obama :-p
(What happened to the money for college students?) smh.
