When Is A Bow Not A Bow?
To answer my post’s title: obviously, when it’s B. Hussein Obama that does it:
The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.
“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Whew…now that’s some spin. I knew it was coming (the spin)…
This guy, I have to tell you, is going to make the Clinton spin-machine look like child’s play.
…I just didn’t think they’d be this blatant about it. Like we can’t look it up and see for ourselves. Pfft.
Here’s the video, just in case you’re one of the three Americans in the world who hasn’t seen it (at about the :45 mark):
Now, I’m no expert on the subject (and, really, who is?), but that’s clearly a bow. It wasn’t someone bending over to shake another person’s hand. If we are to believe what they’re telling us, either Obama would have to be about ten feet tall or the King of Saudi Arabia would have to be about a foot tall…or both. Of course, people on the left think the average American is nothing but a huge boob that’s incapable of thinking for himself, so I guess they thought they could get away with this. They might have gotten someone to believe it wasn’t a bow if they said, I dunno, that he was comparing “sizes”, if you get my drift. At least that would have been both believable and plausible.
Which brings us to the age-old riddle: “How can you tell when a Democrat is lying? Their mouth is moving.”
Update: Hah!

Diabolical!!!! The ol’ “No, I didn’t!” act.
“Obama, you just bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.”
“No, I didn’t!”
Pure genius.
This quote fits nicely:
“Don’t be so humble – you are not that great.”
- Golda Meir (1898-1978) to a visiting diplomat

They have a point. Look at the last election returns.
Well, GWR, I’d like to think that the people who voted for Obama weren’t your run-of-the-mill, average Americans.
Well it appears the unlearned one, knows almost as much about diplomatic protocal as he undersands about economics. At least B.J Clinton was an adept lair. Obama has none of Clinton’s skills.
There’s a nod, a bow, and a kow-tow. Obama just stopped short of the third.
Brian, I’d like to think that too. But it’s all we have to go on right now, isn’t it? And I’m sure you’re familiar with John Ziegler’s polling research on how completely uninformed and gullible the average Obama voter is.
The left relies on an unthinking and passive population – otherwise, with the left’s track record of failure, they’d never win an election. It’s one of the reasons they flock to academia and have dumbed down education. Economics, history, you name it – they’ve worked on creating generations of sheep they can manipulate.
Bill Clinton was unsure of the definition of “is”. Barak Obama is unsure the word exists.
Well, GWR, that’s why libs take things out of context the way they do. They spin, they manipulate, they go out of their way to hide their true agenda, etc., because they know if people find out what it is they’re really in favor of, they won’t win. They can’t win on the merits, so they lie and obfuscate on the issues. If they stood up and said “This is what I believe”, their party and ideals would implode in about two (if that) election cycles.
Let’s put the right spin on this. Obama wasn’t bowing. He was showing America his a**.
Would that make it a “Moon Over a Madrassa”?
It’s only a bow if the POTUS says it is, and he didn’t, so it wasn’t. Like the bailouts aren’t a bid for the guvmint to take over the industrial U.S. and its banking system.
Right…
