Obama Doesn't Bow Before the Queen, but He does Bow Before the King...of Saudi Arabia

Sir Gaffelot, if you choose to consider this a gaffe, shows you who he really respects.

Barack Obama did not bow before the Queen of England. Which is proper courtesy. Instead, he shook her hand...with both hands. Which is not proper.

But, you may be heartened (or not) to know that Obama did bow before other royalty. He bowed before the King of Saudi Arabia at the G-20 Summit. Here's the video:



Obama seems to think Muslims monarchs are cool, and worthy of respect. Queens of a long time ally and friend, however, are not.

No President should bow before any royalty or accept a knighthood as
George Bush the I did as he knelt before a foreign leader as if she was his sovereign. G W Bush almost kissed the Saudi Kings feet when he met him at his ranch.

Psst...Not sure you've heard. Bush isn't President anymore. That's sort of important to know. What else you got?

CT---You're wasting your time with these people. Everytime Obama gets called on something they bring up Bush,,it's like that's become the answer or solution to any problem or questions...4 yrs will pass by and when the question his failed policies for re-election,,he'll still blame it on Bush or the banks or whoever else he can...Passing the buck as usual...No surprise there.

I know Gentile. I just like to point it out nonetheless. They get it. And most of them, up to a point, acknowledge, at least to themselves, that they are delusional. Then the drugs kick in, and they start up again.
