One Trackback to “Obama’s Bow”
I’m embarrassed for our Country that we have this clueless numbskull in charge of [what was] the most powerful country in the world.
The shame on our country for this idiot in office is a pox on America…proving many of our citizens have been dumbed down to an amoeba mentality.
st00pid ‘won’.
Isn’t this an impeachable offense called treason? He is submitting to the Islamic world.
He is the Appeaser-in -Chief.
What was Obama thinking? Did he confuse the robes for the Pope? Just like Bush walking hand-in-hand with the king. I didn’t like this at all. What’s up with the presidents and the Arabs?
Was he reaching for the low hanging hands of the king?
Our ‘drool-by’ media approves of bowing and scraping to dictators.
Who are you going to believe, the lying liar or your own eyes? Obama is making Neville Chamberlain look good, and Jimmy Carter look like a success.
It was clearly a boy. Hot Air had the video clearly disproving the WH account. Obama made a “from the waist, bent knee” bow to the Saudi King. Then again, he spent his whole EU tour bowing, scraping and apologizing for American and getting nothing for it – especially not RESPECT.
My question is, what country was Obama talking about when he praised the Muslim world for it’s helping shape “my own country”. All due respect to Muslims, they had nothing to do with shaping America until some time in the 1970′s and then it was sort of negative shaping.
Obama’s middle name is not Hussein. It’s Chamberlain.
shoot. boy = bow up above.
5. vivo: - Was he reaching for the low hanging hands of the king?
Those weren’t his hands hanging low.
Someone should give the president some reading material on the barbary wars and the creation of the US Marines corps under William Jefferson.
Jefferson did some reading, too. He got a hold of an english translation of the Koran, and understood what was really behind the zeal of the pirates of the North African coast.
Jefferson’s copy of the Koran is kept by the library of congress. If you are curious about the heroic beginnings of the US Marines, just google “barbary wars”, or “Lieutenant Stephen Decatur”, or “Commodore William Bainbridge”, you’ll be glad you did.
It will illuminate the depth of Obama’s mistake in bowing the the king under the thumb of the Wahhabis.
Why do Jews vote for democrats?
His own country…….not the US!
When will this guy stop campaigning?
Wait a minute! What am I saying, look at the damage he has done doing “the President thing” on a part-time basis, just think of the damage he could inflict if he focused all his evil powers on the job!
A bow with bent knee. He may have been trying to curtsey. We need to get his keeper [wife] to help him out with technique.
Grovelling before petty despots is required when raising funds for the campaign, but why now? They just authorized a few billion for ACORN so that is taken care of.
If this is the direction that our foreign policy is heading I don’t think Israel will wait very long before nuking Iran (and perhaps a few other trouble spots as well).
Which is worse, a bow or a kiss? Shaking hands or holding hands?
And to #12 pghmom . . . “Why do Jews vote for democrats?”
Easy. Because they don’t trust Republicans. Sorry, but there you go.
While I don’t think Spencer and his associates stand a chance of implementing what I fear are their stealth policies, their shrill and unfortunately universally accepted identification with “the counter-jihadist movement” is severely detrimental to the efforts of respectable intellectuals standing up to Islamofascism. Front groups for radical Islamist interests — along with their Western apologists — conveniently employ such critics of compromised backgrounds as straw men against any legitimate scrutiny of their own activities. I believe everyone acquainted with Robert Spencer’s work should consider the causes he is involved with and the company he keeps before lending him support.
Obama is a national disgrace.
The Jewish vote for Obama was estimated at 77%. They voted in such overwhelming majorities for this outcome that I find it hard to have any compassion. There comes a time where tough love is the only option left. Many of us on the right have grown so tired warning of tyrants like this individual that we’re going to have to let you realize the outcome this time. We have no political capital left to waste on lost causes like Israel.
http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1034574.html
Don’t worry, Israel. I’m sure that between Hamas, Syria and Iran, you will be well treated. They’re much nicer people than evil Bushitler types who actually put Islamist killers in unfair detention. You chose your outcome.

RE: Are US FINALLY ‘Getting It’?
This cretin who we have as a president, is a Muslim. He admitted to it in a freudian slip-up in a Sunday Morning talk-show interview during the run-up to the election.
Now another such slip-up manifests itself AFTER the fact.
It is my honestly held personal opinion that this man is a sociopath of the pathological liar form.

-Yeppers, Chuck [21.], hopefully people are waking up from their lazy ideaological slumber and they are finally realizing that the evil, skank, sleazebag in office does not represent the majority of us AMERICANS. The flim-flam sham/acorn/unaccounted-moula aided and abetted megalomaniac prezzy-dent is showing his true colors through and through.
If this were a white/Asian/Jewish man I’d be slamming him just as hard [if not harder]! Just because Bambi is part black is NOT [nor was it EVER] the reason whatsoever that I abhor his beliefs and policies.
I will never EVER be placated by Bambo’s teleprompter talkies to the tee-vee. No spank you, Mr. Prezzy. My spirit will never be broken and my voice will never be silenced. So, put THAT in your pipe and smoke it.
Love,

Most Jews in America don’t feel a big relationship with Israel. Most Jewish Americans are secular. I read a study which said that over 60 percent of Jews under thirty years old in the US don’t care about Israel. That’s because they lack Jewish values. The Jewish vote isn’t different from other minority votes in the country. Black Americans, Asians and Hispanics also voted similar to Jews. Even “white” people favored Obama.
Israelis are much more rational when it comes to issues of national security. The center-right and right parties picked up most of the votes of the public in Israel during this past election. Unfortunately, Israel is in a situation where it has to answer to much of the world before they do *anything* at all.
Nice job, Ms. Cohen. Love the show. Robert is great as always.
Obama’s problem isn’t that he is a Muslim. It’s that he is a moron. You see, Muslims are not allowed to bow to another human being – prostrating yourself before a potentate means you are placing him and Allah on the same level, a big no-no.
If anything he greatly offended King Abdullah by bowing. A search on Google news shows no story about it at all on Al Jazeera when there are plenty of stories in the western media. I conclude that the Arab media does not want to shatter the illusion in the ME that Obama is a Muslim.
It’s all settled, it was not a bow. Look carefully at the video. The human brain can be totally misled. UFO’s anyone?
You morons. You act as if Bush didn’t also bow to the Saudis.
It’s really fun watching you all desparately looking for any scraps you can find to help you attack your own President.
It’s even more fun watching the frustration and rage when none of your bullcrap sticks.
Real Americans support their president.
Hey Pastor, thanks for reminding everyone why the term ‘sentient’ doesn’t apply to most liberals. ‘Bush did it, and you didn’t complain then! You are not a real American!’ Next you will tell us that because Bush extraordinarily rendered/waterboarded/detained a terrorist in a military prison without trail, Obama can do it to.
Yes, Real Americans do support their president, but to what end? When he performs well so does the nation, and when he SCREWS UP it screws us up too. Which is why it pains me to see him commit so many unforced errors so early in his presidency.
Real Americans also have a social obligation to know their history. No president has bowed before anyone – since John Adams – and certainly not before any temporal power!
Vivo, you’re right, he forgot his knee-pads and the lube.

Muppeteer,
“Real Americans support their president.”
Reheheheheheheheaaaaaaaallly now? How supportive of Bush for the past eight years, have you and your ilk been laddy? Now ‘suddenly’ being supportive of the prezzy is all dat and a sack o’ spuds?
Let’s not forget that paying taxes is deemed “patriotic”__but, OOPS! Apparently paying taxes and being patriotic only applies to the repubs and not the idiot screwballs 0bama employed in his gangsta team of douchbags in cabinet.
#29: Bush didn’t actually bow to the Saudis. However, he did hold hands with the king and prance around with him. That is mentioned and discussed in the full interview.

Chuck,
I had heard that as a kid.. emissaries from the early Caliphate went to China… the Chinese emperor was surprised that they did not bow before him and they explained why.
Anyway there the wikipedia entry. However, I came across bowing as a form of greeting later. So like any religion the Koran has conflicting things to say about it. Still, I find it odd that arab media doesn’t have anything to say about it.
31. Delia:
Your experience shows . . .
vivo,
Your desperate, sweaty, lonely lack thereof also shows.
Fist full of lonely much? Awwwwww. *hands you a spanky hanky*
If any of the charlatans of the Republican Party would personally receive even a tiny fraction of the money the Saudis are giving to stabilize the American economy they would not hesitate even to blow the King. This includes Newt, Hannity, Wolf, Lothian, Karl Rove, Spencer and other mother f**kers. All these despicable pimping gigolos don’t appreciate how lucky USA has been to get a guy like Obama to be their President.

RE: Bowing
I’ve seen a number of movies in which minions bow and grovel before their sheiks: Lawrence of Arabia, The Wind and the Lion. People of near equal rank did not do such.
Maybe because they were better educated, more dignified and not in fear.
At any rate, not that movies are the best source of information, but I doubt if those two would have falsified information.

RE: The Captain-Hostage Crisis
Sooooo….
…the captain jumped off the lifeboat on which the Muslim pirates held him hostage. And he tried to swim to the US Navy vessel that was watching over the situation.
My question is….
Why the hell didn’t the crew of the US Navy vessel on the scene IMMEDIATELY begin to shoot ALL the Muslim pirates?
Could it be their Rules Of Engagement (ROE) would not allow them to fire on Muslims?

Yes, it is. I can afford to pay [in cash] for my own medical care, I live in a mansion my husband and I custom built together over 17 years ago, I have a wonderful 21 year old daughter I home schooled and is NOT a libtard, I’m a model/singer/song-writer/dancer, sculptor, artist, a poet, an amazing cook, a web-master, a computer geek and a FREE thinker.
Maybe when you grow up one day, vivo…you’ll see how lame you are.
Keep learning.
Poor vivo. -Still a clueless imbecile as usual. -And, to think I actually had hope for a hot minute that vivo had grown a few brain cells and a set of twig and berries.
I read the following in Wikipedia:It is the title taken by the King of Saudi Arabia in his role as protector of the two holiest cities of Islam, Mecca and Medina, which had traditionally been the role of the Caliph.
The first Saudi king to assume the title was Fahd bin Abdul Aziz in 1986. The current king, Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, has taken the same title after the death of King Fahd in 2005. King Fahd replaced the term “His Majesty” with “Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques” because it was said that only God is All-Majestic, therefore the term “His Majesty [The King]” was replaced with this term.
So, if I understand this right it is not right to bow down (prostrate yourself) to anyone else but Allah (like Elohim it is plural, 3 or more).
The King accepts bows for his role as custodian of the two most holy shrines in Islam. To do so one implicitly acknowledges the superiority of Islam over all other religions, and by proxy Obama acknowledges this on behalf of the American people.
Am I reading too much into this?
46. Len,
You hit it on the head, Len.
Troubling to say the least…
44. Delia:
Who cares how much money you have? Your previous comments reflect empty morals and a repugnant mind. That’s what I mean by “pitiful life”. Your poor family will be ashamed. They probably don’t see what you write. Insulting people will take you to one place: low life hall of shame.
Happy Easter (Oh, you don’t know what that is, even if you bought $10,000 worth of Easter eggs)
#46 Len – No, you are not reading too much into this. I have interpreted the bow the same way.
And quite honestly, I don’t really care what anyone else believes. Especially liberals who have the damned proof on film and video and are STILL droaning on with the lament of “Bush did it!” Criminy. Get over it.
Actually, Vivo…
My family reads my rants here and they laugh their arses off and agree with what I write.
Grow a sense of humor. It will help you immensely when you’re begging in the streets for crumbs.
Now repeat after me, “OBAMA BOWED TO A SAUDI KING”… “The truth shall set you free.” ♥♥♥
If we Americans stop being so freaking arrogant maybe, just maybe we will get some respect from other nations. America bowed OMG. Get over it you lame ducks.
This is the problem with America, especially white Americans. We have nothing better to do then worry if Obama bowed? We burn freaking flags here and no one says nothing. We allow homosexuality, we deface God, and come up with all types of lies to sell movies, and books. We import, and consumed more illegal drugs then any nation on earth, we discriminate our own people because the color of their skins, we allow big brother companies to pollute the waters, and skies, I can go on for ever.. so get over it. By the way when I went to India I took off my shoes when I enter someone’s home OMG HE DIDN’T? These are the things that nations hate about us. We give them respect, instead of bombing them, and you fools think it is offensive. Should we of bombed them instead? Well NOOO! That’s what the Dumb Bush, and the Lame Dick would of done. We now have a real president that has worked harder in bringing Americans together then any other since Lincoln. We now have a president who prefers peace, instead of war, a president that has taken on big business in the interest of the people. A president who is compassionate, and caring, and you still looking for something to bring him down. If he did bow to him it was called R.E.S.P.E.C.T But what the heck do we Americans know about that. The first lady said once “Today I feel proud to be an American” I haven’t felt that in a very long time.
You all should go to You Tube and listen to Tim Wise if you want a clear understanding of what we are really about.
America is nothing but a big lie. We live in a make believe world walled in by our arrogance, and superiority complex. This nation was built on lies, slavery and the leaders were all criminals, and drunks which Europe send here because their prison couldn’t fit any more. Everything in history we have we stole, nothing belong to us. From the killing of the Native people, to the enslavement of blacks, to the conquering of nations in the name of God that we use only to gain entry. We practice every deadly mortal sin that Simon and Gomorrah was destroyed for, and we have the audacity to criticizes a president if he gives respect to another nation.
Examined yourselves, look hard in the mirror, and remember that your life is just a frame of mind, that only we Americans posses. We only think that we are the greatest nation on earth, but can you really come up with one reason that makes us that? I pity you all..
29. Pastor of Muppets:
Thanks for the laugh; YOU claim to know what REAL AMERICANS ARE!!!!!!!!
They cannot spin this idiot as not bowing !!..Had he bent further he would have fallen on his face!
God help us! How long can this travesty continue???
As far as his sticking his head in the sand concerning the Somalia thugs it is a worldwide embarrassment.
If this mess ever gets settled one FA18 Hornet could assure us that these teenage scumbuckets would not terrorize again. Kill em all ..Let God sort it out
Jesus! Enough !!
More on the hostage situation…the lifeboat is now considered a “crime scene”, the White House wants this settled “peacefully” and there is a possiblity that the pirates could be tried in a US court! Give me a break! The second the Captain leaped overboard to try and escape, the Navy should have shredded that boat and it’s occupants. Supposedly they have spotlights on this little boat 24/7 so who saw the escape attempt and did nothing?! I’ll wager they were under strict presidential orders to not harm any of those muslims. Did anyone see the townhall meeting where a reporter asked about this situation and ol’ Barry said “Now, we’re talking about housing right now”. I’m sure housing is what the Captain’s family is discussing at this very moment.You have it dead on, Chuck. This is one more pathetic, weak stance by our pathetic, weak Commander-In-Chief.
Obama is like the emperor in “The Emperor and his New Clothes.” His Muslim ties are so obvious, but so few Americans want to see his nakedness. They rant and rave about his beautiful his clothes – his changes for America. He bows to the king of Saudi Arabia in complete submission; he says “my Muslim faith” in an interview. He can quote the Koran with perfect intonation, but he thinks we have 57 states and when the people in Oregon laugh, he adds a couple more states (there is a gathering of 57 Islamic states). His close family includes a Muslim illegal immigrant, a terrorist, and other Muslim fanaticals. His church of twenty years, which he stated is his Christian foundation, has racist religious ties against the “white folk” as his wife would call them. This is a derogatory term, by the way. He signs his name to have our tax dollars pay for killing American preborn babies and for doing experiments on them, but uses his name to free Muslim terrorists that have killed our American servicemen. He has put us so far in debt it is incomprehensible then acts like he is helpless as far as to which filthy rich people get to keep that money. Then he takes from the hardworking rich who make the jobs for the working class and put them out of business, acting like he is a hero Robin Hood. He is robbin’ from the hood alright, but his hood is the entire United States working force. Where is that little kid that yelled out “Look, the Emperor has no clothes!” We need a loud innocent voice to state the obvious about Obama in America today.
Funny how we’re supposed to support our president, unless it’s Bush. Obama has no experience in a huge number of areas – he just doesn’t know it yet and all criticism is viewed as partisan.
It’s going to be a long “8″ years.
I said “8″ years because we Americans often don’t get it the first time.
