How do you know a handshake would have sufficed?
This goes back to the speculation I referred to.

Also, what makes you believe that image is all there is to the political game and that image can not be sacrificed to gain in other areas?





I'd be highly surprised that all of the sudden a handshake with the Saudi officials wouldn't be acceptable.
With the amount of business we do with Saudi Arabia, I wouldn't be surprised if walking in and saying "Wut up G?" and bumping elbows wouldn't be acceptable.

By the same logic, what reason would Obama have to bow?

I don't know what his reason was.  It could've been done out of being nervous and trying to 'make good' just as well as it could possibly have something to do with his Muslim roots.... who knows... the point is, he did it and it wasn't appropriate.
If it were appropriate, the White house wouldn't have said "it wasn't a Bow".

Well, while I have an urge to continue discussing this with you, I'm going to have to switch gears

You make an interesting statement about the government. A lot of the PR is used to cover up inappropriate actions. I doubt that is always true, but it certainly is prevalent to a point of absurdity. Although I'm not sure the alternative, propaganda, is any better.

I don't agree with you that this white house release was to cover up inappropriate behavior rather than trying to reap the most political gain, but since neither of us knows the 'why' and never will, we'll just have to remain on opposite ends.

Bows are used in a LOT of cultures as a general greeting and show of respect.

Americans shouldn't be bowing to anyone, let alone this
piece of shit.

Fuck you Obama.






LOL, are you serious???

Your the one humiliating America by acting so stupid. To suggest that American's are so great that they can even show a sign of respect too anyone is childish and ignorant.

Showing respect is one thing, bowing to a monarch is quite different and our president should never do it to any monarch.

Damn him for cultural sensitivity.

Doesn't he realize there is only one way to do things?  And that way, is the AMERICAN WAY.

We should go to war with anyone who doesn't look, think or act like us.




Americans are stupid, ethnocentric, insecure, and emotionally immature. That's the only explanation one would get angry over a video like this. No wonder Bush reigned for 8 years.

Fight for a large loving government that can take care of its people, kill our criminals, and preform the huge industrial tasks our corporate overlords refuse(wanna greenwash me some more Exon?)
