I have to laugh at all the talk about BO 'bowing' to the emir or whoever that joker was.


I had a good chuckle at the film clip - BO had dropped the keys to AF One, that was the reason for the deep flex in front of that quack.

I thought back to the rules of flying/displaying the flag and know that no matter what happens, Old Glory never is dipped or lowered for anyone or anything.

So, the physical figurehead of the country seems to have a spine, but may not know when to make it stiff?

I have been trying to find the post you made when George W. kissed the king of Saudi Arabia and held hands with him.

Oddly...I can't seem to find it....

A kiss and holding hands, IIRC is a sign of respect and friendship in arab cultures. Kissing the ring is a sign of subjegation or that you are beneath that person, not a very good impression for the POTUS to give to arabic cultures.

Just curious, does anyone know if President Obama bowed to Queen Elizabeth or any other heads of state?

They reported on the news today that the Bank of Wells Fargo is making a 3 billion profit this year. They should have them give all the failing banks classes on bank managing. Of just give them the banks to manage.

To the Queen, he might have.

For while he proferred the Queen a deferential nod in his audience at Buckingham Palace

A nod and a bow aren't the same. That's why I asked. When I was growing up, believe it or not, boys were taught to bow to their elders but it wasn't from the waist, it was more a deferential nod as the article stated. A more earnest gesture would have been sort of a shoulder tip. So if President Obama bowed from the waist to Queen Elizabeth or any other head of state then that would change the import of the incident in my eyes.

Really? Where were you raised?
