The World Thru My Eyes - I speak my mind and man does it like to talk.

In the latest of Obama blunders and lies, the Obama's Administration is claiming President Shaq Obama was not bowing to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London. According to one of President Obama's aides:

"It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah,"

So Obama is so tall he needed to bow down to reach the hand of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia? OK, for those who have seen the video, you can clearly see President Obama already had grabbed King Abdullah's hand before he bowed to him. Not to mention Obama bowed so low, his head was lower than the King's shoulders; how much lower does one have to bow to reach someone's hands? Don't lie to us Obama, admit you bowed. The truth shall set you free. Honesty is the best policy.

The whole bowing this was a blunder as it is. The President of the US is not lower than anyone at the G20 meeting, they are all equals. That is why Asian tradition shows both people bowing to each other like we shake hands here as oppose to only 1 person bowing like in movies where people bow to Kings. Now we have Obama people boldly lying to us in our faces?

If this is the kind of changed you wanted, then you are just getting more of the same.

Maybe he saw a penny and wanted to pick it up?

Or maybe he was admiring the King's shoes, possible considering getting a pair for himself. Keep in mind, we can see the video but can't hear much so we probably did not hear him say "those are some great shoes".

More likely looking for the King's wallet.

I think it's OK if they are putting a medal around your neck. I saw him nod his head, so I don't know if your calling that a bow or not. Holding hands is customary in the middle-east and as far as I know doesn't mean subservients. No issue with anyone disagreeing with either presidents actions, but in keeping with the articles premise, Bush's people never denied Bush's actions.

Yes, we heard the left bring it up back then, I guess we have to listen to them again since "Well, Bush did..." is their current defense. I guess Obama is safe as long as he keeps doing everything Bush did. Change anyone?
