[...] This is not the first time he’s bowed to a foreign leader, back in April of this year President Obama bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. Although the White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, denied it along with Ben Smith at the Politico at the time, even CNN mildly scolded Obama for bow and the media for ignoring it. [...]

[...] Video: CNN mildly scolds Obama for bow, media for ignoring it at Hot Air. Heads of state do not bow to other heads of state. Abdullah didn’t reciprocate with a bow to Obama, for instance, and none of the other heads of state in the original video did so much as a shoulder incline. It’s the act of a rank amateur, a man unprepared to represent a nation as head of state. Thankfully, a few people have begun to notice it. [...]

When the MSM swears that your eyes are lying and they’re not, you know journalism is dead. If the left will lie over something so obvious, they are admitting the comprehension of the truth is beyond their mental capacity.

Time Magazine: Obama bow : "gracious" and "fitting"

Yet, any American president should display a form of respect to any other head of state that he (or in the future, perhaps she) agrees to meet. Rather than kowtowing to Saudi custom, or showing fealty to a Muslim king, Obama's gesture in London seemed to be simply his gracious, spontaneous way of greeting Abdullah. That's fitting for a variety of reasons, beyond any rules of diplomatic protocol.

No mention of the White house lie that that the bow didn't happen.

I thought it was a curtsey, more appropriate for Obama.

Perhaps Obama is a subject of King Abdullah, and therefore a bow is appropriate.

There are many sources for Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran stating:

… there are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam.

Yep. Even further, there are no days of rest in islam, which tells you a whole lot about that culture.

Robert Gibbs is the most pathetic excuse for a press secretary I have ever seen. I watch his briefings here in Thailand over the American Embassy network by satellite dish. He mumbles, mumbles, mumbles so you need to crank up the volume just to make out anything - then he cracks a joke for the kids and emits that forced laugh of his straight into his mike. I want to strangle him! Obama's childhood years in Indonesia are the key to understanding this bowing affair I think (I've known Indonesia well for 20 years), but I couldn't resist coming up with some alternate excuses / reasons for the subservient act: TOP TWENTY-TWO EXCUSES FOR OBAMA'S ROYAL BOW Congratulations to Ed and HotAir for the well-deserved publicity!
